Church was definitely in session on a cold Sunday evening in Ballard last month. The temperature outside was near freezing, but inside Slim Cessna’s Auto Club were bringing their Gothic Americana fire and brimstone to the clubhouse-like environment of the Sunset Tavern.
Rachel Bennett – It’s awesome to see a show stacked with all women-fronted bands; it’s even more awesome when the main opener and headliner are both Asian American women who own the hell out of the stage.
The last time Nashville grunge-punk rockers Bully were in town, it was a one-off, pseudo-announcement/showcase gig at Ballard’s Sunset Tavern to celebrate their signing to Sub Pop Records. At it, the band played mostly to new and existing fans and employees from their new label.
Stephanie Oster – Insane expectations are reasonable when it comes to Dennis Lyxzén. The performer, known for his work in influential post punk bands The Refused and International Noise Conspiracy, is the lead singer for INVSN, which also features INC’s Sara Almgren on guitar.
Maurice Harnsberry – Big Boi, half of legendary hip-hop group Outkast, performed live at Seattle’s Showbox Theater on Jan. 10, 2018.
