It first started as a rumor. Seattle rapper Fatal Lucciauno, who was supposed to be performing on April 25 at The Crocodile in support of Dyme Def’s EP release party was whispered to be kicked off the bill. An unnamed source told Reverb a few days ago that the venue was weary of Lucciauno’s connections to a high profile fatal shooting at Chop Suey earlier this year. As of yesterday, several other sources spoke freely with Reverb about how Lucciauno’s gang affiliation and recent release from prison was making folks at the Crocodile nervous. Well, it’s now official. Fatal Luccianuno will not be performing on April 25 at The Crocodile. The venue’s website has amended the line up for the show, which still features: One Be Lo, The Saturday Knights, D Black, and Spaceman backing up Dyme Def. It’s unfortunate that he got kicked off the show, but from a practical standpoint, once the negative vibes hit the air, it’s probably better for both parties to just let it be and see if the situation changes down the line. In an interesting twist of fate, SW columnist Hannah Levin just invited Lucciauno to perform live on her KEXP radio program, Audioasis, this Saturday. He’ll be performing live at 6pm. Her other in-studio guests that day will be Seattle-based female rockers, the Valkyries, who Sara Brickner recently profiled in this piece. That’s a pretty random line-up of local acts in the studio but that’s what makes Audioasis, and KEXP so unique.
