From Andrew Boscardin's blog about the June 11 CD release party for the debut self-titled album by ZUBATTO SYNDICATE: “Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Zubatto Syndicate release party on June 11.

Since opening in 1991 the Belltown club closed late in 2007 and reopened under new owners in early 2009 the Crocodile, an integral part of Seattle's music history, has hosted the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Cheap Trick, R.E.M., Mudhoney, Yoko Ono and, last ...
