The new Gwen.
 Remember the mangy below-stairs bar on Houston Street with all of the smoke-stained sweaters stitched together and slung from the ceiling?

For a long time now it's been a multi-stage venue on Leonard Street in Tribeca, and even had a Los Angeles arm that was partly responsible for transforming Gwen Stefani from an imitator of Selecter into an international phenom.
