Guilty Pleasures, Good Cause
If you're feeling guilty about missing out on the Bonni Suval benefit Seattlest told you about a little while ago, no worries. You can alleviate your guilt by going to another Bonni Suval benefit, this one with a bunch of local bands playing their favorite guilty-pleasure cover songs.
(Suval is the uninsured Fear of Dolls lead singer who was struck by a hit-and-run driver on Capitol Hill, leaving her incapacitated and with mounting medical bills.)
The "guilty pleasures" concept should be fun--and is reminiscent of New York's long-running Loser's Lounge, where hipsters do guilty-pleasure theme nights tagged to a specific artist or songwriter.
Friday night's show at the Sunset will feature a bevy of local bands: Black Nite Crash, Spanish for 100, Magneto, Transmissionary Six, Vista Vista, Cantona, Robb Benson, Pleasurecraft, John Hyde, The Femurs, Gary Allan May, and Life in a Blender. [Ed. note: Our own Don is in Life in a Blender.]
This many bands, this many guilty pleasures? This could go all night. Well worth more than the $5.
