Ready to discover some of your favorite bands of 2011? Ready to do it for free? You’re in luck! Its almost time for The Collective’s (Sound on the Sound / Artist Home Booking / The Warehouse) second Best of the New showcase at Columbia City Theater.

Our first Best of the New showcase in October helped introduce Seattle to some of its most talked about artists of the moment: Lemolo, Bryan John Appleby and Youth Rescue Mission. And we think you’ll be just as taken with the new bands we’re showcasing next Saturday January 29th: The Solvents (from Port Townsend, WA), Rockwell Powers (from Tacoma), Dyslexic and Land of Pines (from Seattle). Its going to be a diverse night of some of the best up and coming artists in the Northwest and we hope you’ll join us.
