Tipitina’s, the legendary music club on Tchoupitoulas Street and Napoleon Avenue, was purchased on Friday by the five members of the local funk band Galactic, the New Orleans Advocate reports.
The musicians bought the club from Roland Von Kurnatowski, the embattled local real estate developer who has owned it since the 1990s.
