We found out some bad news on New Years Eve. Seattle's legendary music venue The Crocodile shut down on December 18th. [we headed out of town for Christmas that night and had been very much out of the loop.] The Crocodile was legendary, where many early 90s Seattle grunge bands like Nirvana got their start. More than that, it was an amazing place to see a show. The performance space was interesting and the music was always impeccably mixed. Almost every band we ever saw there sounded great. The owner (Peter Buck's ex-wife) apparently just shut it down with no warning at all. It had been losing money but was reported to be turning around. Let's hope someone is able to buy it and reopen it. Read more here or here.
