The Whywolves @ The Comet
Power pop with a touch of punk is a good combination. It is a bummer that we have to always see these kids from Bothell on weekdays. Hey Seattle clubs: book this talented trio on a weekend, they will not disappoint.

Badwater Fire Company @ The Comet
The Comet Tavern once again proves why it is the place to be on the ‘Hill with another rad show featuring BWFC. With an incredibly tight rhythm section, space-drenched guitar and some screaming, this trio is not to be missed.

brown bird @ The Tractor
This Rhode Island duo is doing what so many bearded folk acts fail to do: keep it catchy and simple. If you are in the mood for awesome guy/girl intersecting vocals and percussion that sounds like it is emanating from a train yard, head to Ballard on hump day this week.

International Pop Overthrow @ The Mix
The International Pop Overthrow (IPO) returns to Seattle for the sixth year and the second at Seattle’s Best Rock Club. For a measly $10 per night you, the NadaMucho.com reader, can get your fill of awesome music and even get a free compilation CD (while they last).
