Seattle’s legendary music venue The Crocodile has been sold. A new era begins as the music of Madame Lou’s and comedy of Here-After return to the complex. 🐊
The new ownership group includes Pittsburgh’s Bottlerocket Social Hall and partners behind Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB), one of the country’s most influential comedy organizations. As part of the transition, the new ownership group says it plans to bring back the music of Madame Lou’s and the comedy of Here-After through newly reimagined venue spaces within the Crocodile complex. More details are expected later this year.
Since opening in 1991, The Crocodile has helped shape Seattle’s music culture, hosting countless artists before they became household names and creating unforgettable memories for generations of fans. #SEATTLESUBMISSIONS
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
The Pacific Northwest is incredible. Absolutely stunning nature, great little towns, nice hikes, and tons of 5'6" women with septum piercings and dyed hair.
