A lost Liverpool music venue known for hosting up and coming acts and well-known artists was seen as a "rite of passage" for musicians in the city.
Back in September 2005, Korova first opened its doors in Liverpool city centre and became a "cultural hub for musicians." Located on Fleet Street in what is now the site of Black Rabbit, the venue was the brainchild of Rob Gutmann, Evol promoter Steve "Revo" Miller and Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu of Liverpool band Ladytron.
The venue had numerous rooms including a bar section and a basement area for gigs, with the likes of Klaxons, 2manydjs and Florence & The Machine performing there in its time. At one point, Korova also offered food in the day and customers could pull down sixties-style TVs from the ceiling to watch old films in their bright red booths.
