The Southgate House is the name of two separate venues in Newport, Kentucky (Though very close to Cincinnati, Ohio though both buildings are directly located in Kentucky.). The original Southgate House would later become the Thompson House while the Southgate name would move to a new building under the name Southgate House Revival. Both venues boast multiple stages and have hosted a plethora of bands in the stoner and doom scenes among a multitude of music of any genre.
Background[]
The original Southgate House, now known as the Thompson House.
Before either building would host bands, they both served unique purposes in Newport. The building that hosts the Southgate House Revival was previously a church built in the late 1800s while the original Southgate House building was built in 1814 and would be the birthplace of John T. Thompson, inventor of the Tommy Gun[1][2].
The Southgate House would start hosting bands in the late 80s by Ross Raleigh up until 2011 when the ownership was forced to move to a new building.[3] New owners would take over the old building and christen it the Thompson House after the original owner's name.[4] The owners would relocate to a church and reopen as The Southgate House Revival on 5 October 2012 after some building delays.[5][6]
On 9 October 2022 The Southgate House Revival would celebrate a 10 year celebration since it's opening, recreating a classic 1911 picture of the congregation of the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, along with a live performance by the band JIMS.[7]
