Gold Leaves ::: photo by Josh Lovseth

… and you’ve still got an awesome weekend of music waiting for you.

Here’s what I’d be seeing if I was gonna be in town this weekend. Including two shows it physically pains me to miss Friday: Gold Leaves at the Mural Amphitheater in the shadow of the Space Needle for FREE, and our show of the week See Me River, Blood Red Dancers and Le Sang Song at the Rendezvous, which promises to be a lecherous night of sweaty rock’n'roll and a line-up with nothing but excellent bands. Please get trashed there for me, but not so drunk that you can’t report back and tell me how awesome it was.

Abbey’s 15 Favorite Concerts of 2008

by

With nearly 200 shows under my belt in 2008, it’s hard to narrow down my favorites to just 15– but after much thought–here they are. I went for singular shows/sets, rather than including entire festivals such as Bumbershoot and Georgetown, which would have easily qualified for best of status. The photos are ordered, with my favorite show of the year on top and so forth. Hope you caught at least a couple of these shows in 2008 too!
