Awful news.

Horrible. Saw my favorite show of all-time there in 2003: Dismemberment Plan on their last tour. Went there a lot in the years when I was 18-24.

Sadly, from what I hear the closing is probably a result of a family ownership squabble and not because the business is failing.

You are the first person I've ever "met" who'd heard of Southern Culture on the Skids! Do they still do the song "Banana Pudding"? LOVE that song!

Bummer...it is a historic landmark in Newport.

 

I saw Drive By Truckers and Slobberbone there in 2004 and it was awesome. I hope they relocate somewhere in NKY.

Oh yeah! :banana: I'm a bit of a newcomer to SCOTS. I heard stories of them throwing fried chicken out to the audience at shows, but have never witnessed it myself. :cry:

I was at one of those shows. :lol: That was back in the day. They handed out banana pudding back in the day too. Love them. The remind me of the B-52's...fun, fun, fun!

I'm pretty sure that's it. My uncle owns the place and my cousin helps him manage it. I think there's a disagreement with his sister.

 

I used to go there sometimes as a kid and play in the big room where the concerts during the day. I always thought it was a cool place. Great place to see a show. It is sad that it will be closing.

Don't be too sure about that …

Indeed. Sure wish I could see the V-Roys there one more time for old time's sake. Oh well, at least I have memories. Foggy, whiskey-soaked ones, but memories nonetheless.

They will open back up but likely somewhere in Cincinnati.

Sad news for Newport; was a great place to go and hang out, as well as listen to good music.

5wide, I'm hearing that they are hoping to relocate to another venue. Any insight on that, that you would be willing (or allowed) to share?
