King Killer Needs New Heat
Donation protected
(We've had reports that donation rewards and embedded pics and videos aren't showing up on mobile, so we've updated this section accordingly)
King Killer Studios is a music rehearsal and production facility in Gowanus, Brooklyn, that puts a heavy emphasis on maintaining a community of musicians and providing them with resources to help them thrive in the crowded & competitive NYC music scene, such as an in-house recording studio and showcase stage (as seen in the below video). Since opening in 2008, King Killer has provided Brooklyn musicians with large practice rooms at affordable rental prices, with things like WiFi, electrical service, and heat & AC included at no additional charge.

This past month (December, 2017), the rooftop unit that provides the heating & cooling to a bulk of King Killer’s rooms began demonstrating signs of deterioration, and after multiple attempts to repair its myriad issues — and multiple dollars spent on those efforts — we’ve been told that the unit is beyond repair and needs to be replaced, which is no small feat, given its size and complexity.
The cost of this replacement equipment will drain our budget to a degree that would make it very difficult to continue operating in support of musicians and bands the way we have for the past 9 years, at least for the foreseeable future.
We don't like to make our problems anyone else's problems. It’s difficult for us to ask for help, but we're up against a wall, and feel we have no other choice but to reach out and ask for some assistance in covering some of the costs to fix this issue so we can get warm again and get the King Killer membership back to creating with a baseline of comfort.
Thanks for anything you can provide. We love you.
