I absolutely dispute your History of Irving Plaza because the heyday of Irving Plaza at Club 57 was started by Stanley Zbigniew Strychacki in 1978, and the credits of Tom Goodkind and Frank Roccio being credited as the MAIN and original promoters of this venue, and as the people who put on their most famous shows are absolutely false. Goodkind and Roccio produced a few sporadic shows at the venue only, which were individual nights where they rented the theatre and that was the extent of their involvement there. They did not create it, develop it, or run it. They produced perhaps 3 shows of note, but that was all ( done in a freelance 'one off' basis with the cooperation of the Polish Veterans who owned the building and with ourselves. Also, Louis Tropia was under Jane Freidman's employ as a Tour Manager for John Cale (who she managed),he worked out her uptown office which was shared with Frontier Booking (FBI - run by the Copeland brothers who gave us their mostly British acts). Louis only had indirect business with Club 57 at Irving Plaza through his employment through Jane, but had nothing to do with our bookings - that activity was Jane's alone. Jane booked our shows. Please contact her and confirm this. Stanley Strychacki's Club 57 at Irving Plaza management included myself Susan Hannaford, and Chris Gremski. We recruited Jane Friedman (currently Howl Gallery NYC), and Kathy Gallagher who was Jane's assistant(currently RZO Management NYC, David Bowie,Iman, Keith Richard's management, etc.). Later Kathy Gallagher became our full time Club 57 In House booking agent, and we had offices for Kathy in the theater for years. Club 57 had an exclusive contact with Jane in 1979 through the 80s to bring premier Rock Acts to the venue. I produced a stage play there in 1978 called New Wave Vaudeville and rented the venue from the Polish Veterans and their President Mr. Kaleniak. This is where I met 'Stanley' because he had an exclusive contract to operate the bars of Irving Plaza. Mr. Kaleniak's daughter, Julie Kaleniak ran our bars with Chris Gremski all of those years. I can provide contact information to Julie who can confirm this. She was the official representative of her father and the Polish Veterans and will gladly confirm that Club 57 at Irving Plaza were the only founders and promoters at the venue from 1978 - through the 80s. Stanley also concurrently founded and controlled the very famous "little" Club 57 arts space at 57 St. Marks Place. You can contact the film Department of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, who will doing a retrospective of Club 57 running about the history of Club 57, in Spring of 2017. This retrospective also includes irrefutable historical data on Irving Plaza and that Club 57 alone were the creators of this venue for Rock Concerts. One has to feel stunned at the chutzpah of Tom Goodkind and Frank Roccio for making such bold claims, when in fact they only produced a few nights of concerts at the place.
