Caroline Anne – This Halloween, I ventured out to Eastlake’s Lo-Fi Performance Gallery to catch one of my favorite local bands, The Gods Themselves, deliver a flawless, costumed set of their disco-funk.
Julia Olson – This summer I started my first post-grad, good ol’ 9-5 office job. It’s been really good, but I work in South Lake Union instead of on Capitol Hill. Every now and then I get an SLU panic moment; when suddenly I realize that I spend 40 hours a week typing in the shadow of Bezos’s balls.
Paul Broderson – We’re doing it again you guys… Nada Fest. It’s a yearly event where we showcase a bunch of the emerging or under appreciated local bands we’ve recently highlighted on this here blog, NadaMucho.com.
Lance Sobotka – Tacoma is a wild place. Its musical history is every bit as rich as its Emerald City sister’s (in fact, some would say a lot of the “Seattle” bands that went on to be famous were actually from Tacoma or at least the South End. Nirvana. The Sonics. Look it up.)
Matt Ashworth – We’re officially in the era of Bumbershoot 2.0, and one must approach things differently. Think of it as a yearly opportunity to sample the best of what the music industry wants you to spend your money on, check out that one band who’s song you liked on Tik Tok, and see what might sound good bumpin’ on a car stereo on Alki next summer.
