As of last September, BPP has closed its doors. It was a tough call, but I genuinely felt it was the right move. I Spoke with , a Scene Magazine journalist, and in the cover story, they dive in a bit deeper about BPP and its closing – check bio for the article and a deep dive into Cle DIY.

BPP proved DIY venues aren't just for punk white dudes; we received love from the whole community. I've been on the fence about opening a new spot because I've realized running a business (especially a community based DIY) is no joke; it really takes a toll. Not only that, but my DJ career is taking off, and life's throwing a million things my way. I will say what I learned during BPP's run – community's key, safety, and respect are non-negotiable, and we need more safe spaces; wherever I go, those values come with me. Maybe, just maybe, we'll open up shop again. 😉 Thanks as always to anyone who volunteered their time at our events or pitched in to help get these touring bands paid! 🖤 - Navy
