This poster advertises a performance by 66 Saints at the Crocodile Café in Belltown, Seattle, Washington, on August 26, 1995, featuring guests Bone Cellar, a local band fronted by guitarist Dave Mortenson (b. unknown), also known as Dave Nothing, and Hugh, an Indie Rock band from San Francisco, California. 

 

66 Saints was a Seattle Rock band formed in 1991 and active in the Northwest throughout the early 1990s. The band was started by guitarists and vocalists Lisa Orth (b. unknown) and John Maroney (b. unknown). Orth was the first official art director for Sub Pop Records, where she designed Nirvana’s now iconic logo, and she also worked for The Rocket, Manna Records, and Seattle Gay News. The band also featured Mitch Michieli (b. unknown) on drums and backup vocals, and they frequented Seattle venues like Re-Bar, Moe’s Mo’Roc’N Café, and the Off Ramp. 66 Saints released limited recordings with Big Flaming Ego Records before they disbanded. 

 

Stephanie Dogan opened The Crocodile Café on April 30, 1991, at 2200 2nd Ave in Belltown, quickly becoming a fixture in the Seattle music scene. The Crocodile Café was closed in December 2007, reopening as The Crocodile in March 2009, now owned by Alice in Chains’ drummer Sean Kinney, managed by Susan Silver (b. 1958), guitarist Eric Howk (b. 1981) of Portugal. The Man, Peggy Curtis (b. unknown), and Marcus Charles (b. 1973), co-founder of Capitol Hill Block Party. In 2021, The Crocodile reopened nearby at 2505 1st Ave in a larger space. Numerous popular groups including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Ann Wilson, Cheap Trick, and Billie Eilish have performed at the club.
