Last Thursday, influential Seattle DJ and music industry veteran Marco Collins hosted a night of music with a new format at Chop Suey called Tag 2.0, in which five local acts performed one continuous set without any downtime, each one blending their closing together with the next act’s opening, sometimes sharing the stage for extended periods of time.
Aaron Semer – The main stage of Bumbershoot has always been a challenge for me. I’ve seen a lot of great bands there over the years – including Sonic Youth performing shortly after all of their instruments were stolen and having to completely reinvent themselves (1999) – but man, is it a mixed bag.
Matt Brown – New Zealand experimental pop songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Liam Finn is playing at the Tractor Tavern in Ballard this Friday night and there’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll have a great time at his show.
Nick Anderson – I’ve always really wanted to be in a rock ‘n’ roll riot. It just sounds so cool. I’ve been to some crazy shows where the laws of God and Man went out the window.
