Mt. Fuji Records Showcase - Win Tickets!

Mt. Fuji Records is home to a number of our absolute favorite local bands so it’s with much excitement that I have a reason to reiterate that fact. Next Friday and Saturday Mt Fuji is packing their bands and a few friends into two Ballard venues to showcase what they’ve got.

The Maldives, who barely fit in the Tractor anymore, will be headlining night one (which is sure to be a sellout), along with Spiral Stairs, who’ve got a split single with the Long Winters slated to come out on Mt. Fuji by the end of the year. Night two features Mt. Fuji’s past, present and future all in a nice neat package. The “present” in long time Mt. Fuji mainstay’s the Whore Moans and the Black Whales, and the “past” and “future” in Mt. Fuji helmsman (and Cops member) Mike Jaworski’s new band Virgin Islands who are just getting out into the world and releasing their first EP that very same week.

Peep these lineups:

Sasquatch <3 Portland

the builders and the butchers

Last year Sasquatch showed Seattle’s up and comer’s a whole lot of love, and this year Portland is the local city with the honor of the most performers. In fact it’s a veritable who’s who of notables coming out of PDX: Hockey, Blind Pilot, Loch Lomond, M Ward, The Decemberists, Viva Voce, Pt. Juncture, WA, The Builders and the Butchers, Blitzen Trapper, Horse Feathers. We can honestly say there’s not a bad one in the bunch and something for everyone, with a small gripe that maybe a little more female representation from the Rose city might’ve been nice (Laura Viers, Mirah, Explode into Colors… the list is lengthy).

To help you decide about which of these distinguished Oregonian bands you should see, I’ve assembled a nice list of free tracks from each of these bands (except one band who keeps a tight grip on their tracks online) for you to evaluate on the long drive to the Gorge. Enjoy and make sure to pick up these band’s albums should you like what you hear. A number of these bands including the Decemberists and Blind Pilot will be signing their albums at the Easy Street Booth throughout the festival, so take a look at that schedule too.
