TACOMA'S ALL-AGES SCENE >>>
House in the space of the former all-ages venue the Viaduct, The Conquering Lion live music venue has reorganized with October set as the opening date. The all-ages venue had been hosting occasional Rasta shows, but will switch to a local rock/metal/hardcore format - with the occasional national touring act - as a result of the building owner handing the operation over to Patt Lucas and Lonnie Reed, who will amp of the volume of shows.
"We are aiming to open up a multi-genre all ages venue with no politics," explains Reed. "We have multiple nationals coming in this fall and winter, along with a ton of local talent. The Conquering Lion comes with a larger stage, larger and upgraded sound system, new lighting and a complete remodel."
The 500-plus capacity club will open Saturday, Oct. 1, with a huge metal/hardcore show featuring I Am The Monster, They Charge Like Warriors, Until The Sunrise, Behold The Colossus, Dismember The Dream, Doom of Babylon, I Delilah and A Typical Throwdown. The all-ages show will begin at 5 p.m. with a $10 cover at the door.
