Under the shadow of the Space Needle, the original Funhouse opened its doors on Halloween 2003 in the former location of Zak’s 5th Avenue Saloon. Operating for 9 years, the bar & live music venue hosted thousands of events during its lifetime and was known for being the kind of place that fostered the local underground music scene. Bands like the Spits, Dead Moon, No Means No, Guttermouth, Red Fang and many more played sold out shows in the intimate confines of the Funhouse. The club even influenced a critically acclaimed feature film documentary entitled “Razing The Bar” (SIFF 2014). The Funhouse was home to punks, roller girls, average Joes and creative people of all stripes. While successful, the club fell victim to Seattle’s rampant development and lost its lease when its building was sold and later demolished in 2012.
I had my DJ set as kritikal virgo supporting 2 libras, normoria and violent Vickie, the venue for the event is awesome 👍🏾 the performances by those artists are all entertaining and amazing. It's was perfect for my birthday weekend 🎊😊. The funhouse staff are wonderful btw.
These gals, and their enthusiastic drummer, are pure "Punk & Roll". My buddies and I loved being able to see them in a great small venue #FunHouse. The bands dancing, antics, and flexibility were appreciated by all. Please come back to Seattle soon. And remember to bring the whiskey so we I can get another shot!!!
Show was so awesome! Everyone was super cool, got lots of merch, autographs, talk to the bands, the only downside is that there weren't more people there to support Lividity! Awesome show, and love the venue!
Amazing show! The lead vocals were amazing just like on the albums, but what really caught me off guard was how good the background vocals were. And more than anything, the energy was insane, even for such a small venue!
Braden and Ezra were a blast! Will 100% be looking out for the next concert. Was able to say Hi after the show and only have lovely things to say about the singing and him as a person.
taken by surprise with them honestly in the best way. i discovered them a week before their show here & luckily they happened to be playing nearby & did not disappoint. i love hot latino bands!!!
It was an awesome show, only complaint about the venue is they need air conditioning really bad. It was so hot I was dripping with sweat and all the music artists at least once had to stop and wipe sweat out of their eyes.
Absolutely insane performances all around. Smearing set the tone with the front man making his way into the pit, screams and D-beat blasting out the door. Last of Lucy offered up heavy hitters from Moksha and Godform, adding their own psychedelic/electrocosmic flavor to the mix. Replicant went on and just murdered— so damn heavy, crazy songwriting. And Atrae Bllis closed things out with peak intensity. Couldn’t ask for more.
It was an amazing time 😁 Kate makes you feel like you're part of the show. And I love that 🫶🏼 She's really one of a kind 🫶🏼 So many great memories to cherish 💖 Thanks for your kindness🫂
The Dollyrots are a great band to see live, their kids as well. Knowing that their trip to Seattle was arduous and that they didn’t really get much sleep for a couple of days, the band delivered and brought positive vibes and energy. They are probably one of the hardest working bands out there.
What an amazing show! Got to talk to Sean before the show and Leo and Aaron after the show. Decently priced merch and what a PIT opened up. 1000/10 recommend.
Such an intimate setting and that only made the experience even better!
They were incredible on stage and such sweethearts off stage. Wish I could include a picture of the actual concert but my film camera was defective :,( Hope I'm able to meet y'all again and actually get pictures to look back on! <3
A great band that put forth enthusiastic metal energy on a tiny stage for a handful of fans like it was a standing room only packed stadium. The sound was very good for the small venue. They hung out and chatted with fans in attendance like old acquaintances before and after their set.
First time seeing Dead Bars and apparently the singer was filling in on drums and you never would have known that wasn't the lineup if you didn't know. Absolutely killed it!
Wow! Karl is a magical songwriter and entertainer. In this show he was just with his guitar and a stomp bass drum, but it sounded and felt like a larger band. Loved the audience inclusive approach he took. We'd see him again for sure! - Jay in Seattle
I love these guys and they definitely didn't disappoint last night. I brought a few friends who aren't into the scene and they were all blown away. I see them every chance I get and you should too.
Amazing show. I’ve seen Enterprise Earth twice, and it was just as good. Dan got hit in the face and was bleeding and still put on a great show! Probably going to see them again next month with Chelsea Grin!
