*4/21 Update* Upcoming Seattle Shows

Hey all. I know I say this just about every week, but there are some really good shows coming up in the next 7 days. English post-dubstepper (whatever that means) James Blake is coming to the Neptune in support of his new record, Overgrown, and Purity Ring are making yet another appearance for Shrines on the following night (I've seen both and I'd choose Purity Ring). CTPAK Records has two events this week: Moose Portrait at the Crocodile and Battle Ground Grammer at Hollow Earth, Seattle's Seacat's are releasing a 7" on the 25th at Columbia City Theater alongside calypso punks Week of Wonders and garage-poppers Detective Agency, and Neon Sigh is putting on a showcase at the Sunset with our personal favorite, Golden Gardens. Finally, Brooklyn's Beach Fossils have randomly showed up on Cairo Seattle's event list with Naomi Punk and The FF on the 27th!!! This show will probably be packed despite P4K's "meh" on Clash the Truth, so get there early. Oh yeah...I forgot Chad Valley and Ig88...Google it. I hope everyone is enjoying their Record Store Day bounty; have a great week!
