Backstreet Atlanta opened 45 years ago [1975] and was THE iconic nightclub there for decades. Charlie Brown hosted Charlie Brown’s Cabaret for nearly 20 years at Backstreet, the 24-hour dance club that closed in 2004. He opened his own bordello-style venue in Underground Atlanta after that, but it later closed. He has performed at several other Atlanta venues in the years since.

KRAVE
2013-2014.
3765 S Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas NV
Opened 2013. Closed 2014. Operated for over a year in three different locations in Vegas [including 3700 Flamingo Rd]. Original plans for his 80,000-square-foot undertaking at Neonopolis included massive main club room, a hip-hop room, a Country/Western room, a Latinx room , an EDM room, a member's only VIP space, a comedy lounge, and a nightly show called Extravaganza with gogo dancers.
Finally shut down by the State of NV for lack of a sales tax permit. Owner Sia Amiri has been claiming he's opening a new concept in Vegas since 2014, but I have found no evidence that he has succeeded yet [2020]. The Triblend T shirt and Premium Tank Top include the 'Krave Massive' image.
