*Updated 5/19* Upcoming Seattle Shows

I keep wanting to see Flying Lotus, but as usual, the STG group's prices are all but prohibitive for regular concertgoers. Lucky then that there are plenty of other options this week. Spastic indie punkers Mitts are playing the Leather Lounge tomorrow night with NGD favorite Swamp Meat, LA's Pangea are back in town the following night with lovable palindromic stoner band TacocaT, Week of Wonders are going to be rocking the Sunset on Wednesday with Charms, and Health Problems are going to make a whole lotta noise at Cafe Fusion with Audrey Horne, Toronto's GREYS, and Ottawa's Shahman. Anacortes, WA mainstay Karl Blau is making two appearances this week: one at the Crocodile Back Bar and the other at Heartland in support of Aaron Otheim (Thousands, Heatwarmer, Grand Hallway and many more), who lost a ton of gear when his car was recently stolen. Barboza is hosting local favorite Vox Mod on the 19th (tonight), as well as Long Beaches' Avi Buffalo next Saturday, and finally, minimalist synth legend Im Namen Des Volkes will be gracing the Medical Records Rx night at the Electric Tea Garden on Monday. Have a great week!
