Whoopy! There are some really stellar shows coming up for the remainder of the year in Seattle, and I'm going to cut to the chase and just tell you what they are, and if you live elsewhere I'll post some links for some bands tour dates so you can see if they're coming to you. Oh yeah, plus mp3's.
August 17th - MF DOOM!
Shit boi! Doom's a comin. He has some dates on his myspace, but keep your ears open for more dates cause Seattle's not listed there, but the Showbox has confirmed he is in fact playing, and I have my ticket!
See two posts ago for some Doom Mp3's.
Buy Doom's stuff.
August 18th - KEXP BBQ
Awesome lineup. Pela, the Blakes, The Cave Singers, Blue Scholars and Cloud Cult. I'm most pumped for Cloud Cult even though I've seen them twice before, they're absolutely stunning live. The Cave Singers should be really good also and Blue Scholars have their whole 9 piece backing band which should be interesting.
Cloud Cult - Mr. Tambourine Man
from Live at KEXP Vol. 3
Cloud Cult Tour Dates
Labor Day weekend (Sept 1-3) - Bumbershoot
Oh man. Just check out that line-up. Devendra Banhart, Andrew Bird, Lyrics Born, Menomena, the Shins, and WU-TANG! This is a huge highlight of my year, every year.
Andrew Bird - Heretics
September 7th - Yacht and the Dirty Projectors
Yacht's awesome. If you didn't know that then...
Buy Yacht's stuff and Tour Dates.
Yacht - The Magic Beat
October 2nd - Mt Eerie and PWRFL Power
I saw Phil Elvrum awhile ago, before I knew who he was, and I don't even remember it, like at all, so I'm excited now that I'm listening to more Microphones. And I think PWRFL Power's really cool. I really recomend you check him out.
PWRFL Power - Let Me Teach You How to Hold Chopsticks
October 15th - the GO! Team
Tour
Pre-Order Proof of Youth
Go! Team - Grip Like a Vice
October 16th - Rogue Wave
I'm so pumped for this new record of theirs.
Tour
Buy Descended Like Vultures
Rogue Wave - Sightlines
November 16th - Stars
the new album is awesome, I've been listening to it a lot, but I've just got to find a friend to go with. This tracks my favorite off the new one I think.
Tour
Stars - Take me to the Riot
December 3rd - Tegan and Sara
I probably won't end up going to this, but it'd be cool if I did. I just don't think I have any friends who are into them. That's a problem I run into a lot. But I've been enjoying the Con a lot actually. It's nice and fun and poppy.
Tour
Tegan and Sara - the Con
So I've got quite a bit on my plate. All that makes me totally forget about not being able to see Wolf Parade and Jose Gonzalez (kinda)(damn you 21 and over). And I'm sure there'll be more. Hoo Doggie.
