*Updated 5/5* Upcoming Seattle Shows

Hey all. Goddamn Debacle Fest, right?! The first couple of days have been amazing and you still have time to hit the last show on the bill, a special edition of Debacles' MOTOR showcase featuring Black Hat, Hieroglyphic Being, Strategy, and more. However, if Debacle isn't your thing, have no fear, Hibou is going to be dishing up some killer electropop at Heartland and Medical Record/No Sleep Seattle are having their monthly showcase at Electric Tea Garden at the same time. Other shows: Black Lodge is hosting Foot Village, a four drummer tribal-noise collective, and Clipping, a rap-noise outfit that "take Death Grips' staccato noise to the next level"...I can't even comprehend that sentence. Both from LA. Local label Hush Hush is having a free event at Arabica Lounge featuring label head DJ Alex and Vox Mod. Kisses, fresh off their recent signing with New York's Casine Records are coming to Barboza with Trails and Ways, and last but not least, Black Hat, Crystal Hell Pools and Indignant Senility (scroll to number 8) at Cairo Seattle. What a killer line up. Have a good week. Now I need to go back to work...
