Venue notes: Lost Horizon, Syracuse NYRock club with punk leanings. Remained in operation under that name until sometime in 2004, when it was sold to new owners and renamed the Tundra Tavern, which also eventually went under. The building, located at 5863 Thompson Rd, Syracuse NY 13224, was unoccupied as of summer 2007.Peter Neidhardt recalls: "Back in the day, from circa 1983 to 1990 or so, virtually every indie/hardcore/punk performer who was anybody played the Lost. Some of the bands who played there include: Buttholes, Flag, Ramones, Flipper, M-Pups, Minutemen, DK's, Die Kreuzen, Jerks, Sonic Y, Dino Jr., Replacements, just to name a few. "Incidentally, I lived 20 minutes from the Lost Horizon and was a major Huskers fan at the time of the August 1984 gig but had NO IDEA they were playing there that particular evening." He adds, regarding the capacity figure previously given here that came from some now-forgotten online source, "I think your stated capacity of 750 people is little on the high side. This place was and is very small. I recall Lost Horizon staff stating a capacity number somewhere between 400 and 500." [Do you have more information about this venue?
