Sugar’s Sweet Demise Makes Room for King Cobra

The toilet formerly known as Sugar on Capitol Hill (see past postings) had come across some hard times in the past months. Namely, assholes shooting people, assholes fighting, and assholes being general assholes. Such events lead to the eventual (and deserved) closure of the club. In its place will sprout yet another new music venue King Cobra hosting diverse local and national acts and hopefully filling some of the void created when the Crocodile (un)expectedly closed its doors. This builds on the current trifecta of great stages found in this neck of Capitol Hill - Neumos, The Comet and Chop Suey.

The general plan of King Cobra is to create an intimate venue for local and smaller nat’l bands ranging from hip-hop to punk, alt counrtry to indie along with a chill bar and lounge to hang out in. As far as size, capacity will be 475, seating it neatly in the 10th and Pike scene between the tight quarters of the Comet and much larger Neumo’s

Doors are billed to open in mid January, so keep an eye out for more info here.
