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

Monday 26 May 2008

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.
