*Updated 6/30* Upcoming Seattle Shows

Hey all. Lots of good local stuff this week--especially for those of us that harbor a love for all things loud and/or weird. The Coke Bust, Big Eyes show on Monday, as well as the Brotherations, Grave Matters (love their demo), Communist Eyes show on Wednesday are your best options for straight up hardcore punk, but if you really crave cacophonous mayhem you should head over to Black Lodge on Wednesday to see The Body, Subservient Fuck and Cold Lake. Don't like the hard stuff? That's OK too, NY new-age psych-dance duo Prince Rama is still touring behind Top Ten Hits of the End of the World and is coming to the Rendezvous (somewhat randomly) on Wednesday. For the electro-goth inclined we have two Friday shows: Crypts with BLVCK CEILING at Chop Suey and Gothic Topic at Black Lodge with Haunted Horses. Indie Kids should check out the Mitts, Koda Sequoia (new record!) show at Blue Moon; or the Filardo, Ashley Eriksson show at Heartland--both on Saturday. And last but not least...this Thursday you have another chance to see Airport--Jayson Kochan's mutant house project that Brittnie Fuller at the Stranger described as "an alien abduction for your ears". More Below. Have a great week!
