Hey
everyone. PSA: for those who haven't heard, we are hosting our first NO Goddamn
Dancing local music showcase on Saturday, March 22nd at the Highline Bar in
Capitol Hill. We're not really looking to become promoters, but we thought that
a night of dreamy pop music would be a great way to celebrate the release of
our newest compilation, "Send Me to Dream". So far, the bill is: VibraGun, Wind Burial
(formerly Snowdrift), and Nostalgist.
We really think it would be worth your time to come
out that night and hang out with us. Genre-jumpers and new blood are especially
welcome. RSVP here.
Big names: beat-smith Com Truise, aka Seth Haley, is returning to
Seattle to play Chop Suey on Monday night; UK Producer (and co-owner of
London's Diagonal Records) Powell is
headlining the next MOTOR night on Thursday at the Highline alongside
Black Hat, Chris Davis, and Mood Organ. Black Hat's debut LP is coming out early next month on Hausu Mountain,
so the odds are pretty good that we'll be getting some new
material. Also, those Russian-American, rock-a-billy weirdos known as the
Red Elvises are returning to the Tractor on Saturday, and electro-industrial
innovators Skinny Puppy are playing over at the Showbox that same night.
Local: If your into electronic music you should head to Vermillion
tonight for the Diogenes tape release show (listen to 'Swap Meet' here), but nu-gaze
fans should consider the Ringo Deathstarr show at El Corazon instead. The
Austin band's newest 12", 'God's Dream', is being released by
Neon Sigh late next month, but you
can pick up your copy early tonight. Tomorrow night go see post-rock/math-rockers
Chung Antique at Highline with Postmadonna; check out the free TacocaT album
release in-store for 'NVM' at
Sonic Boom Records in Ballard on Tuesday; have your face melted off by LA
hardcore band Nomads when they take over the Black Lodge on Wednesday with
Olympia favorites White Wards; hit the Josephine on Friday for the 3rd monthly
installment of Guitar Worship Service to see how many ways there are to make
noise with a guitar; and consider rounding out the week with the Grave
Babies, Stickers, HO9909, and Health Problems at Black Lodge on Saturday. Ian Crist Kurtis, the singer for Health Problems and the genius behind the new
Bosnia release on Hanged Man puts on a show that needs to be witnessed to be believed.
More below. Have a great week!
