The first time I saw Lake of Falcons was last year at the Jules Mae Saloon. It was part of an aborted attempt to see Police Teeth after a long day of other obligations.
Sadly, I and my party were thwarted by south Seattle’s intricate roadwork, which seems specifically designed to put you back on the freeway with no end in sight for six more miles. Either that, or I'm just not that observant and it'd been a long time since I'd been south of the U-District. Either way…
Happily for that evening, the other two bands were also good and redeemed any frustrations with the city's infrastructure. There was the much vaunted Feral Children (whom I'm sure you can read about in any given issue of The Stranger from the last eight months) and an evening-closing performance by Lake of Falcons.

My brief treatise upon the merits of H Is For Hellgate, a rock band from Seattle, Washington
H Is For Hellgate churn out tricky indie-prog constructions onstage with little apparent effort.
The boys in the group mug and pose endearingly, while the two young women sternly apply themselves to the serious task of rocking the hell out. They were my favorite local discovery of 2007, and I try not to miss any of their Seattle shows.
Actually, I'm so deep in H Is For Hellgate's junk now, I should pay them rent for hosting my parasitic carcass.

The sun briefly peered through the clouds early Sunday night, ending a daylong refusal to directly show itself. Around the High Dive, those touched by the heavenly beams found themselves happier, lighter.
And then the music began.
Fiends and Harlequins are a local unsigned trio who madly dance the boundary between indulgence and adventure. Whipping through genres and melodies, they evoke Pink Floyd refracted through an At The Drive In Lens, an ADHD acid addict following brilliant tangents through darkened streets until they give way to the water.
The men of Fiends and Harlequins--bassist Josh Halbert (Fiend), guitarist Alex Bishop (Harlequin), and drummer Steve Barci (Fiend and Harlequin)--are all highly skilled in their instruments,
but it is as a unit that they show of how much they are capable.

Live @ Mars Bar & Venus Cafe
Friday, June 23rd @ 9pm - $7
This Friday, Nada is proud to present one of our most exciting, well-rounded line ups of the summer.
The Hot Rollers have been a NadaMucho favorite for ages and, on
the eve of their upcoming West Coast summer tour, they’re kicking off a
busy weekend with Friday’s show. Lori (the bacon-chomping,
vodka-guzzling sexy mastermind of the band), Suzanne (a.k.a. Suzi Jett,
of the Joan Jett tribute band Jett City) and Starr (defending her title
as Ladies Arm Wrestling Champion of Ballard this Sunday at the Tin Hat)
are a raucous, consistently entertaining live act with ‘60s girl group
melodies gone badass. Watch for a special country-flavored surprise
from the ladies on Friday, as well as a NadaMucho full feature article
on the band to see them on their way south…
Sugar Farm
are everything you love about real rock n’ roll stripped to its barest
essential – the blues – and then stripped down even further - a
controlled explosion of a drummer and a polyrhythmic dynamo of a
singer/guitarist. Marty and Margaret are an absolute mind-blowing treat
for fans of true Mississippi blues… and anyone who digs the hard rock
those blues inspired. Sugar Farm is finely distilled aural sex,
defiantly impure and anything but simple.
Memphis Radio Kings, another band heading down the Left Coast
soon, have been busy shedding their alt-country image – writing some
synthesizer-driven pure pop songs that still retain their Paul
Westerberg-style guitar bite. MRK are guaranteed to bring sharp lyrics,
irresistible melodies and a sweat-soaked live show that’ll leave you
aching for their return home.
