Some Live Music!

image

Saturday night was another great night out for live music here in Seattle. First off it was at the Sunset Tavern in Ballard which is a favorite of mine (I met my super cool girlfriend there) and when I lived closer I would go a lot.

Hannah Levin (who’s production company name I have forgotten but will re link to when I figure it out) put together a great show and I look forward to more of her shows in the future.

First up was Hobosexual who I had previously heard good things about but hadn’t heard myself. They were great and I bought their record afterward. Check out the live recording from the show done by Scooby Snax.

Appearing on the stage next was Portland, Oregon based White Orange who I had never heard of but really liked and I bought their record also. Their huge swirling sound made me think that they should do a show with my good friends Hippie Speedball (hint, hint Hannah!). Super good! Check out their show recording by Scooby Snax.

Last up, Reinwolf. This is a talent not to be missed. Jordan Cook is the main guy in the band and plays much of the show on his own and also has a band. Face melting bluesy spontaneous awesomeness. I look forward to the album when it’s done and I’m pretty sure I’ll buy that too. Check out the recording from Scooby Snax.

So do yourself a big favor and get out and see these bands when you get a chance.

Skate on!

Some Tunes

What do you do when it’s raining all the time? Find someplace indoors to skate maybe? I like going to shows and so I just wanted to mention a few that I have been to lately and hype up the groups a little bit.

Here’s the list:

  1. The Heels – They were super fun and I know them. Don’t let that challenge you though…
  2. Lights From Space – I’ve written about them before and used them in some videos. Good stuff also.
  3. Brokaw – Huge big sounding rock.
  4. Akimbo – Some more HUGE.
  5. The Fat Kids – a little Motown soul in your soup.
  6. Tanks of Zen – reminds me of some 90’s… Good stuff. Old school friend of mine in this group.
  7. Hippie Speedball – Great name and good solid sound. I know them too.

Go out and support your local music scene!

Go skate too…
