PT Stinson – Austin-Texas punk revival tent-crashers A Giant Dog bring their ten-armed god of destruction to Seattle’s Substation this Thursday, July 30, before heading to Portland’s Pickathon (7/31 @ Mountain Stage, 4 p.m. + 8/2 @ Galaxy Barn 4:40 p.m.) as part of a West Coast tour following a 2014 that saw them woo untold millions opening for Spoon, and garner buzz from the British music press.
Matt Ashworth – Big BLDG Bash, the independently produced music and art festival that celebrated its second year last Saturday in Seattle, is as remarkable for what it isn’t as for what it is.
Stephanie Dore – Always looking for my next favorite local band, I first came across the guys from Stubborn Son rocking the stage of Fisherman’s Village Music Festival just last month, I felt the buzz. Marco Collins was there chanting the band’s praises and Garrett Lamp (vocals/guitar), Andrew Knapp (bass/vocals), and Blair Daly (drums) are quickly racking up fans with their gritty, honest rock ‘n’ roll.
Marz Elisa – In the late 90s I went to high school in Puyallup, Wash., a little farm town 40 minutes south of Seattle without much going on. During “Activities” class one of my duties was to watch over a little nook in the cafeteria where I could play music during lunch.
Marcus Shriver – With hard-hitting, bluesy punk rock and one of the most entertaining shows you’ll ever see, Seattle band THUNDERPUSSY RAWKED every part of Humpin’ Hannahs at the Treefort Music Festival last month.
