An elegant lounge and music club in the heart of Manhattan's Flatiron District, The Cutting Room is a comfortable venue for eclectic music and food. Relax, hear great live music, sip specialty cocktails in a place where celebrities mingle with the regulars. This is one of New York City's best-kept secrets.

Crash 69 came together as a band in 2005. Though relatively new, the band members have considerable experience with music performance and have had quite successful bands in the past in Prishtina, Kosova. The idea to create a band while here in the United States came up after Ragip Gerbeshi . Gipa (lead guitar) and Bardh Blaku (drummer) got together and started playing rock covers at Albanian youth gatherings in New York City in the mid .90s. However, they could not find any stable vocals and bass player so nothing really became a reality until 2005. That.s when, after one very successful gig at a place in New York City, Bardh.s brother, Visar Blaku (bass) and friends, Bekim Qela (vocal), Veton Hajdini (vocal), Dritan Sahatqija (rhythm guitar) and Genc Cami (keyboards) decided to join and officially create the band. If you enjoy music by Gjurmet, Minatori, Asgje Sikur Dielli, Teleks, TNT, ODA, Babillon, Dire Straits, Greenday, Doobie Brothers, Pink Floyd... be there!
