Opened as the "Crocodile Cafe" on April 30, 1991 by Stephanie Dorgan, it quickly became a fixture on the local music scene. It closed on December 15, 2007,[3] and reopened on March 19, 2009.[4] HistoryThe venue's first show featured The Posies and Love Battery;[5] the last, Robin Pecknold, J. Tillman, and David Bazan.[6] During its initial 16-year run, the Croc hosted numerous well-known acts including Mudhoney,[6] Tad,[6] Nirvana,[6] Pearl Jam,[6] Sunny Day Real Estate,[6] Everclear,[6] Mad Season,[6] Green Day,[6] The Strokes,[6] Joanna Newsom,[7] Cheap Trick,[6] Indigo Girls,[18] Robyn Hitchcock,[6] Porcupine Tree,[8] Glenn Tilbrook,[9] Rhonda Vincent,[10] Death Cab for Cutie,[6] Yoko Ono,[6] Ann Wilson,[18] Sleater-Kinney,[6] R.E.M.,[6] Soft Boys, Built to Spill,[6] Neutral Milk Hotel,[11] Dinosaur Jr.,[18] Beastie Boys,[6] Corinne Bailey Rae,[18] Rachael Yamagata, Kevn Kinney of Drivin N Cryin, Ventures,[18] Chris Knox, The Presidents of the United States of America,[6] and Harvey Danger, who chose the Cafe for their final performance.[12] Mad Season played their first concert at the Crocodile Cafe on October 12, 1994 under the name The Gacy Bunch.[13]In February 1996, Seattle's Popllama Records released the compilation album Bite Back: Live at the Crocodile Cafe, which featured bands such as The Walkabouts, Girl Trouble, Flop, and Gas Huffer.[6] After opening the Crocodile Cafe, owner Stephanie Dorgan later married R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, who became a partner in the Crocodile. Buck often played there with his other band, The Minus 5. Dorgan and Buck divorced in 2006 and the Croc closed unexpectedly in December 2007.[3]
The closing of the Crocodile Cafe, a fixture of the local music scene, caused widespread speculation in regard to the future of the establishment. After months of speculation, a group of business people and musicians including Alice in Chains' drummer Sean Kinney,[14][15] Alice in Chains manager Susan Silver,[14][15] Peggy Curtis,[16] Portugal. The Man guitarist Eric Howk, and Capitol Hill Block Party co-founder Marcus Charles purchased the establishment.[16] The new owners renamed it "The Crocodile" and reopened it on March 19, 2009 after much-needed renovation.[16][4] The venue was re-open to the public with two consecutive nights featuring all local bands.[4] In March 2013, Rolling Stone named The Crocodile as one of the best clubs in America, ranked at No. 7.[17] On October 9, 2013, R&B singer JoJo performed "Smells Like Teen Spirit" during the final stop of her West Coast promotional tour.[18] It was a little more than 21 years since Nirvana last performed at the club on October 4, 1992 billed as a "secret opening act" though they actually did not play "Teen Spirit" despite getting requests to do so, making this one of the few performances of the song at the Crocodile.[19] On August 22, 2018, Alice in Chains sent fans on a Scavenger Hunt to access a secret gig that the band would be performing in Seattle on August 24. Ten signed copies of their latest album Rainier Fog were hidden around the city as a ticket into the show, and the band asked the fans to keep an eye on their Instagram story for details on these 10 hidden locations. Once all 10 albums were found, the band revealed that the secret gig would be at The Crocodile with limited tickets available with the purchase of their new album at a pop-up event at the same venue the next day.[20] On August 23 and 24, 2018, The Crocodile hosted a pop-up shop and retrospective for Alice in Chains featuring rare photos, limited-edition merchandise, memorabilia and music gear that showcased the band's 30+ year career. The admission was free.[21] In popular cultureThe Crocodile Cafe is referenced by Canadian singer-songwriter Mae Moore in the song "Fine" from her 1995 Dragonfly LP. Scenes from the 1995 film Georgia starring Jennifer Jason Leigh were shot at the venue.[22] Gallery{{Gallery|File:Crocodile cafe.jpg|The cafe in May 2005 |File:MonoCrocodileCafe1.jpg|Mono performing in October 2007 |File:Crocodile Cafe 02.jpg|In February 2008 while closed (right side) |File:Crocodile Cafe 03.jpg|In February 2008 while closed (left side) |File:Crocodile Cafe 04.jpg|In November 2009, repainted black }} References1. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/the-crocodile-reopens-saturday-with-a-hot-buttered-rum-show/ |title=The Crocodile reopens Saturday with a Hot Buttered Rum show |date=March 20, 2009 |website=The Seattle Times |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 2. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.seattlemag.com/article/best-live-music-venues-seattle |title=The Best Live Music Venues in Seattle |date=September 2014 |website=Seattle Magazine |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004078691_webcroc17m.html |title=Crocodile Cafe abruptly closes its doors |website=The Seattle Times |author=Tom Scanlon |date=December 17, 2007}} 4. ^1 2 {{Cite web |url=http://archive.seattleweekly.com/home/927174-129/story.html |title=The New Crocodile Opens on Thursday With Two Nights of Free Shows |last=Levin |first=Hannah |date=March 17, 2009 |website=Seattle Weekly |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 5. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/the-crocs-miracle-mixer-man/ |title=The Croc’s miracle mixer man Originally published |date=December 21, 2007 |website=The Seattle Times |access-date=August 26, 2018}} 6. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 {{Cite web |url=http://www.historylink.org/File/8448 |title=Crocodile Cafe: Seattle's Icon of the Grunge Rock Era |last=Blecha |first=Peter |date=February 14, 2008 |website=HistoryLink.org |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 7. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/joanna-newsom/2004/crocodile-cafe-seattle-wa-bd541e6.html |title=Joanna Newsom Concert Setlist at Crocodile Cafe, Seattle on June 5, 2004 |website=Setlist.fm |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 8. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/porcupine-tree/2005/crocodile-cafe-seattle-wa-6bd6d63e.html |title=Porcupine Tree Concert Setlist at Crocodile Cafe, Seattle on June 4, 2005 |website=Setlist.fm |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 9. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.thestranger.com/seattle/its-my-party/Content?oid=10575 |title=It's My Party |last=Wilson |first=Kathleen |date=April 25, 2002 |website=The Stranger |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 10. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.seattlepi.com/ae/music/article/Mandolin-Mama-wows-with-stirring-style-of-1176155.php |title='Mandolin Mama' wows with stirring style of bluegrass |date=June 16, 2005 |website=Seattle PI |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 11. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/neutral-milk-hotel/1998/crocodile-cafe-seattle-wa-7bc5d2c4.html |title=Neutral Milk Hotel Concert Setlist at Crocodile Cafe, Seattle on April 14, 1998 |website=Setlist.fm |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 12. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.spin.com/2009/08/harvey-danger-play-final-show/ |title=Harvey Danger Play Final Show |date=August 31, 2009 |website=SPIN |access-date=August 24, 2018}} 13. ^{{cite book|last1=de Sola|first1=David|title=Alice in Chains: The Untold Story|date=August 4, 2015|publisher=Thomas Dunne Books|isbn=1250048079|page=221}} 14. ^1 {{cite web|title=Legendary Crocodile, the cradle of grunge, rocks into its next stage|url=http://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/legendary-crocodile-the-cradle-of-grunge-rocks-into-its-next-stage/|website=The Seattle Times|accessdate=August 21, 2017|date=March 21, 2009}} 15. ^1 {{cite web|author1=Gillian G.
