Andrew Lowe – This summer I witnessed the organized chaos that makes up the collective called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. This show was a little different from my normal night out to see artists I know well.
Andy Perkovich – It’s no secret that I have a love/hate relationship with the Capitol Hill Block Party, as well as with Capitol Hill itself. Sunday through Thursday it’s one of the greatest neighborhoods in Seattle. Friday and Saturday on the other hand, get far too bro-y for my taste. Now, I’m not here to debate on whether or not that’s a good thing, it’s just not the way I’d choose to enjoy my night.
Todd Terry- I have been to a lot of different music festivals over the years. What I am looking to get out of the experience has definitely changed over time. When I went to Reading and slept in a sheet on the muddy ground for three nights, I thought it was a great adventure. When you could sneak a six pack of beer in your backpack into Bumbershoot, I looked forward to it every year. Right now, Timber is exactly what I am looking for.
Nick Anderson – Help me: I think I’m falling in love with the Capitol Hill Block Party (again). That may sound odd coming now, in 2018, 22 years after the festival made its debut.
Todd Terry – Tacocat was the first act of the day and their sarcastic / feminist pop punk gems sounded great from the main stage. The Seattle band has always had a somewhat conflicted view of the Emerald City. They love Seattle, despite the threat of natural disaster, but they hate the weekend, because of the huge influx of “tech bros.”
