KEXP’s Concerts at the Mural Summer Line-Up
Since the weather’s not cooperating, we’re going to have to take cues from other places to remind us it is, in fact, summer. Things like a partial peek at KEXP’s always excellent free summer concert series at the Mural Amphitheater during the month of August.
There’s lots of Sound on the Sound favorites on the list – Pickwick, The Maldives, Ravenna Woods, Drew Grow & the Pastors’ Wives – but its the August 19th, all rock line-up that has me most excited. Headlining will be my favorite discovery of Sasquatch, Vancouver BC’s Black Mountain with two of the most solid rock bands in town, My Goodness and Whalebones, lending their support. Whether you’re in the front row (fingers crossed for a mosh pit) with me or in the very back of the beer garden, that’s a bill you’ll want to bring your ear plugs for.
August 5 – The Maldives, Hey Marseilles, Black Whales
August 6 – KEXP’s Summer BBQ: Fool’s Gold, Capsula, Virgin Islands, Mad Rad
August 12 – Seapony, Gold Leaves, Math and Physics Club
August 19 – Black Mountain, My Goodness, Whalebones
August 26 – No Depression Presents: Shane Tutmarc, Pickwick, Drew Grow & The Pastors’ Wives, Ravenna Woods
Tip of the Hat to SSG Music for the line-up.

You just discovered Black Mountain?
Also, not sure how Mad Rad made it on this lineup…but that kind of ruins my summer!

Somehow they slipped past me or didn’t make as much of an impact on first listen Mark, but I’m a huge fan now.

@Mark: Mad Rad opening a free show [just one of a handful of dates in a series] RUINS your summer?!? Yikes.

I am thoroughly excited about the last two shows, and bummed that I am busy for the first 3.
Working Seafair for the 5th & 6th…but I guess Doe Bay makes up for missing the 12th.

So psyched to see Black Whales, Hey Marseilles and Maldives tomorrow! I wish it was today, that’s how excited I am!
