This location, adjacent to the Super 8, has been host a staggering number of venues.

Nor-Shor

early 80s

The Sleeping Giant

The Sleeping Giant, AKA The Sleezy G, was a club that was home to many local and out of town rock bands. It flourished in the 80's, and was remodelled inside and became Coyotes in the 90's.

Ahhhh, 80's large hair metal in its prime, The Sleezy G was. It had a dark atmosphere inside, the bands were loud, lotsa fights, fun place ;-)

Coyotes

Coyotes was western-themed. Eventually, it burnt down due to arson. After some time being vacant, it was resurrected as Wazooz.

Wazooz

This name was chosen in a contest. It wasn't long before it was discovered that 'wazoo' is a euphemism for 'anus', and the bar was once again renamed.

It was not a venue during this phase.

The Zoo

This name was stable for a time, until the bar was renamed and rethemed as Warp 9.

It was not a venue during this phase.

Warp 9

Warp 9 burnt down (arson) in 2005, and was moved to The Orpheum building on Court St. before closing down again.

C2

C2 (Coyotes 2) opened in 2008.

The Roxy

C2 closed in summer 2009 and reopened as The Roxy in September.
