Shows and stuff from the Stranger

Seattle shows and stuff that are of interest to me this week in no particular order:

Thursday 22 May 2008

Club pop!: Starfucker, the Hugs, and guests at Chop Suey $8/$10 - I just like the name Starfucker. This is an 18 and over show, so beware.

Bill Dwayne & the Creepers, the Raggedy Anns, the Kings of Outlaw Country, Marshall Scott Warner at the Funhouse $5 - This sounds like a good rockabilly show.

Steel Tigers of Death, Bullet club, Hearseburner at King Cobra

The Bad plus, Osmosis at the Tractor $25/$27 - I'd go if I could afford it.

Friday 23 May 2008

The show is the Rainbow, Partman Parthorse, 1-2-1-2 at the Comet $7 - Partman parthorse is on the Funhouse comp thing 2, so go to this show.

The Lights, So Cow, NoBunny, Blood Red Dancer at the Funhouse $6 - So Cow is from Ireland and NoBunny is from Sacramento.

Blowfly, Antiseen, I Defy, Sok & the Faggots at Hell's Kitchen $10 - Its in Tacompton, but worth the drive. Again, you'll kick yourself if you miss Blowfly.

Hard Money Saints, Church for Sinners, Bloodfeast, Sir Mark the Poet at Slim's last chance $7 - Hard money saints are a rockabilly/greaser band that is always worth it.

Saturday 24 May 2008

Devil's Food, Bastard son of the Nuge, Nine Mile Iris at Blue Moon - Its free and I have a friend who worships Ted Nugent.

Throw Rag, the Heart Attacks, the Heels at King Cobra - They never advertise prices for the King Cobra shows which is annoying, but the Heels are not annoying, they are a great girl band that are on the Funhouse comp thing 2.

Thee Emergency, We wrote the book on Connectors, A gun that shoots knives at the Sunset $7 - I hate shows at the Sunset, but you could go to this one and have an ok time.

Boys of greenwood glen, Verona, Sid and Fancy, Chervona at the Bit Saloon $5

The Tallboys at the Tractor $5/$7

Tuesday 27 May 2008

Old Timey Jam, guests at Conor Byrne - Free and probably some good bands that didn't have anything booked for a tuesday.

Voodoo Organist, Swampy Draws, the Load Levelers at Hell's Kitchen $5 - The Load Levelers are old skool and don't fuck around.

The Teapot Dome Family, Ruby Dee & the Snakehandlers, the Outlaws at the Tractor $6 - Good cheap show at the Tractor.

The Verb, Crimson Ghosts, the Mercury Four at the Funhouse $6

Wednesday 28 May 2008

Fresh blends: Koffin Kats, Brigitte Handley, the Lucky Devils, Total Wreck, 6pm early show at Hell's Kitchen $7 - Brigitte Handley is from Australia and are on their US tour and won't disappoint.

Artless Fiction, Mute Era, Melting Plastics at the Funhouse $5 - Mute Era is from my home state of Minnesota, so go and support a starving US touring band.

Shows and stuff from the Stranger

Seattle shows and stuff that are of interest to me this week in no particular order:

Tues 20 May 2008

Polly O'Keary and the Rhythm Method at Blarney Stone - Mainly because its free and more than likely irish music.

Vince Mira and guests at the Can Can - Johnny Cash tribute that I've been meaning to check out but haven't yet.

Mudhoney at Easy Street Records (queen anne) - Also because its free and its mudhoney for fucksake.

Mindflow, the Dino Kaak Collective, Lucky Lucy O'Rebel and more at the Funhouse $6 - Mindflow is from brazil and the lucky lucy o'rebel farewell show.

Wed 21 May 2008

The Raggedy Anns, the Oregon Donor, The Milkman's daughters at Chop Suey $6 - Sometimes I pick shows just based on their name.

Blowfly, Antiseen and others at the Funhouse $12 - I've seen blowfly a couple years ago and everyone needs to see this guy perform. He's in his sixties and may not be around for much longer and you'll kick yourself if you skip this show and he dies soon after.
