West Seattle gets new venue and starts rockin'
Submitted by Imaginary Shrie on September 24, 2008.
Brace yourself, you bungalow-living-perfect-life having West Seattle-ites (that's a lot of hyphens). The Admiral Theatre will ROCK you!
The Admiral Theatre has reinvented itself from an old silent movie haunt into a 400-person show venue. The Hands, Panda & Angel, and Brent Amaker & the Rodeo will inaugurate the Admiral to Seattle showgoers on October 11th.
Full Story at Lineout:
The Admiral Theatre will open in October as a 400-seat venue in West Seattle. 2343 California Ave SW. One of the building’s two theatres has been renovated for music with lighting, a sound system, and an extended stage. A liquor license has been applied for as well.
The first show is Saturday, October 11th with Brent Amaker and the Rodeo, the Hands, and Panda and Angel. Animals at Night will Dj between sets and KEXP’s Troy Nelson will host.

Old silent movie haunt? Huh?? Y'all are thinking of hokum hall on 35th....
One thought...if they can't get 50 people to go to the skylark on any given night, does the admiral's booker really believe the bands she books can get 400 people there for rock shows? (myspace site states that bands need great draw, street teams, and they fully expect them to fill those seats). Two words: Good luck.
That said, I am happy there is another venue in WS.
