While we were hoping 2010 might include Fresh Espresso’s eagerly anticipated sophomore release, the band still impressed every time they took a stage in Seattle. In a city full of talented performers, few capture an audience’s attention or controls a crowd more than PSmoov, Rik Rude, Radjaw and recently Trent Moorman on drums. We watched in awe as kids approached PSmoov and Rik Rude for hours after their ebullient Bumbershoot set, asking for autographs and photos, and we watched with pride as Smoov and Rude posed and chatted and signed with smiles on their faces. No one seemed to be having more fun in 2010 and no one was more loved for having fun than Fresh Espresso.

Considering they bring the party every time they step on stage, it seems there’s no more suitable way to end the year and start the new one off on the right foot than with Fresh Espresso. They’ll be ringing in the New Year tomorrow night at The Crocodile and its going to get wild. But you better get your tickets now if you want to attend, this thing is going to sell-out any moment.
