Well, I'm happy to report that we have
more to offer this week than last. Of course, the biggest question is where you
should spend your New Year's Eve, and we've got a few options. Personally, I
think Nik and I will end up either at Therapy Lounge in Capitol Hill to see PYT
Records co-founder Futurewife spin, or at the High Dive down the street from
our apartment in Fremont to see electro-rock duo Ever So Android with The West and Dead
Ship Sailing. However, SRTFKR is also playing that night with Teen Daze, so
that could be a good option too.
Other good local stuff: the Big Ass
Boombox festival looks amazing: 40 bands, two venues, 4 stages and zero
dollars. Saturday at the Crocodile looks the best, but every show has something
unique and awesome to offer. However, Saturday has two other great looking
shows as well. The first is Florida's Surfer Blood, who are making their first
of 3 appearances this month at The Sunset in support of their latest record, 'Pythons'. They'll be playing with The Wild Ones, and local favorites
Cock & Swans for this show, but catch them with Hibou on the 10th. The
other show is Audacity with White Night, The Motivators, and The Lindseys at
the Black Lodge. I saw Audacity open for Ty Segall a couple of years ago and
these Fullerton punks have a ton of energy.
All this and more below. Have a great week!
