King Club, Music club near Wisconsin State Capitol, United States
King Club was a music venue located on King Street in Madison, Wisconsin, specializing in rhythm and blues performances. The space hosted live shows throughout the week with rotating performers and local musicians.
The venue opened in 2000 as a replacement for the earlier establishment called Mass Appeal. It operated for about 8 years before closing in early 2008.
Clyde Stubblefield, the former drummer of James Brown, performed regularly on Monday nights with his Madison R&B band and drew loyal crowds. The venue served as a gathering spot for fans who came to experience live rhythm and blues performances.
The location was near the Wisconsin State Capitol, making it easily accessible for both locals and travelers. Its central position made it convenient to visit while exploring other parts of the downtown area.
During an open mic night in 2004, approximately 50 people became involved in a physical altercation at the venue. This incident remains one of the most notable events associated with the location.
