Georgetown Music Festival Line-Up Announced

Without the fanfare that accompanies its local music festival siblings, The Georgetown Music Festival has quietly been introducing Sound on the Sound to some of its favorite local bands. Courtesy of Georgetown Music Festival we first heard: The Lonely Forest, The Globes, Skeletons with Flesh on Them and Kaylee Cole. In fact, no other local festival has that kind of track record when it comes to introducing us to new bands.

This year’s GMF — held on June 25th and 26th — offers an eclectic local line-up, including a heavy dose of hip hop and it is all free. We suspect, just as in years past, we’ll walk away with a previously unheard band to be excited about.

Skeletons with Flesh on Them
Dark Time Sunshine
Black Whales
Brother From Another
Candysounds
Concours D’Elegance
Fatal Lucciano
Finn Riggins
Hotels
Pink Snowflakes

Tea Cozies
The Pica Beats

The Daily Choice: The Weekend Edition

For all of you normal folk who work 40-hour work weeks for corporate overlords under the harsh glare of micro-managing goons, it’s the weekend.  You’ve got tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow night and Sunday to drink yourself silly in the company of your friends and maybe even some of these impressive bands slogging about Seattle this weekend.

For all of you dullards like myself who work at a coffee shop, this just starts a two day period where you angrily have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, throw on some mismatched, ill-fitting clothing and proceed to try not to punch any early morning go-getters in the face.

Regardless of your life path, there’s a lot of good music playing this weekend and I want to recommend some of it.

FRIDAY:

Police Teeth, the Bismarck, & Arbitron @ The Sunset

The last time I saw Arbitron the lead singer smashed his hand against his guitar so many times that a puddle of blood formed underneath where he was standing.  After their show, a member of the next band, leaned in to his friend and disgustedly mouthed “Is that blood?”  I laughed.  These guys are loud, loud noise rock.  Part of your face will melt off.

SATURDAY:

Pica Beats, The Purrs, Love Like Fire, Globes @ The Comet

This show has my loins stirred.  All local acts, all extremely good at what they do.  Don’t fret, the mean bartenders at The Comet aren’t attacking you personally, they’re just assholes.

Army Navy, See Me River, Facts About Funerals @ The Sunset

The guy from See Me River looks like a bearded Tiny Tim, and sounds a bit like the gentleman from Crash Test Dummies who honestly reminds me a little bit like the guy from Live but without the creepy Hare Krishna topknot.  These aren’t reasons to see them though, that would be the beautiful, sweeping music they create.

SUNDAY:

Take her easy pard’ner it’s been a long weekend of boozing, you have to get back your cubicle in the morning nice and early to finish up stapling your bosses divorce papers together.

Have a good one!
