LIFE -- the first club to lease David Cohen’s Revival space at 22 S. Third St. -- lasted 17 months. Now there’s a new tenant, Louis Cataldo and his pals, opening Club Static (mid-September) with a second-floor dance club/light show and first-floor VIP/bottle bar. “It’ll be luxury downstairs with prosciutto and sushi, nothing heavy where dinner’s concerned. Upstairs’ll be a commercial house/dance music vibe,” says Cataldo, who has worked in the commercial cleaning and deli biz, with unnamed pardners in the shoe biz, in pizzerias and chemical engineering.… Robin Parry’s left the building.
