Peaks of the Week: February 20-26
Monday, February 20
Die Antwoord @ Showbox Sodo
I’m not sure I agree with Adam about how good this South African hip-hop group is, but at least they are interesting.
Tuesday, February 21
Black Plastic Clouds @ The High Dive
A horn section in Fremont on a Tuesday night? Why not?
Wednesday, February 22
Shrouded In Veils @ Chop Suey
Instrumental prog rock with a touch of drone, it’s worth traveling to Capitol Hill to see Shrouded in Veils.
Thursday, February 23
Beard Tongue @ The Mix
Anyone with the balls to name their band Beard Tongue deserves a spot on the POTW. Plus, the show is in Georgetown, so even if the band sucks at least you can pretend you are cool for a night.
Friday, February 24
Fall of 1920 & At the Spine @ The Benbow Room
Howlin’ Rain & Whalebones @ The Sunset Tavern
Derek’s raving about the new Howlin’ Rain album. They’ll be at the Sunset Friday with Whalebones.
There’s also great free music in West Seattle Friday night. Fall of 1920 may be the loudest indie band in town, but openers At the Spine may be up to the audible challenge.
Saturday, February 25
Earth @ Highline
Drone on brother, drone on. Dylan Carlson and his tribe will be unveil their newest album Angels of Darkness part two at new-ish venue Highline. I’ll be there. You should be too.
Sunday, February 26
Josiah James @ El Corazon
Josiah has 5000 Facebook friends, so that means he has to be good, right? Probably not, but it’s Sunday so what else are you gonna do?
