The former owners of Kincora have moved into the former home of Sugar to open a new live-music venue on Capitol Hill. The King Cobra is expected to open for business in a couple weeks.

“There is already great live music almost every night of the week thanks to Neumo’s, the Comet Tavern, and Chop Suey. We want to complement what is already going on, and hopefully add something new,” says owner Che Sabado. “We want people to know whoever they are, if they come to 10th and Pike they’re going to have a good time.”

The place is keeping a majority of the staff from Kincora. According to booker Jason Rothman, he’ll be bringing in local and national acts of just about every variety, from hiphop to indie rock, and working with established local bookers to keep things diverse. Sound will be engineered by “Paul the Sound Viking” and “Greedy Greg, who worked sound at Neumo’s forever.”

Seattle’s burgeoning “entertainment district” continues to grow.
