Zorch Radio Episode 205: Top Venues in History

Zorch Radio Episode 205: Top Venues in History

Airdate: Thursday, September 4th, 2014


The final laps of the Thursday Night Wrecking Pit asked you to share your favorite venues of all time. While there were lots of great Puget Sound submissions (Slim’s Last Chance Saloon, Hell’s Kitchen, Showbox SoDo, El Corazon and of course, The Funhouse R.I.P.) the best stories were the ones that were from out of state, such as The 1st Ave in Minneapolis that used to be a bus station, and The Hollywood Knitting Factory which housed a large number of California psychobilly gigs. I’m sure they weren’t all covered, though, so let us know which venues we missed in the comments below.

The 2nd Annual Zorch Invasion is just a few weeks away. Make sure to hit up to Slim’s on October 10th to see Graveyard Shift, The Load Levelers and Curse Of The Black Tongue.
