Aural Pleasures
This week Seattlest invites you to get your hand out of your pants and join us for some shows...
Wednesday 12th
>>> WIRE presents: Pleasurecraft This is a Blackout cd release; performing live with New Gray Area at The Baltic Room
9pm; Free!
Thursday 13th
>>> The Clumsy Lovers at St. Edward State Park (Kenmore)
>>> "Trapped In The Closet!" at Rebar
7pm doors; 8pm show, $10
>>> Refugee All Stars of Sierra Leone at Neumo's. Fresh off their documentary (which screened at SIFF), this collective of musicians bring their dance-happy African grooves to Neumo's for a benefit for immigrant rights.
Doors 8pm, show 9pm; $15 advance/$17 at the door
Friday 14th
>>> The Fray at Showbox. Personally, we think this tepid piano rock band blows, but nonetheless, the show's sold out. 50 million VH1 fans can't be wrong.
>>> Persephone's Bees at the Comet. Sunny California pop fronted by a heavily accented Russian chick.
8pm, $5
>>> Harry and the Potters at The Central Library. Any show at the Library is worth seeing, but particularly this one.
7pm, free
>>> The Bottle Rockets at The Tractor. This is a "rural rock" CD release befitting of Ballard. Check em out.
9:30pm, $12
Saturday 15th
>>> Red Elvises at The Tractor. Russian hard folk-rock from LA, complete with balalaika!
9:30pm, $15
>>> The Sword at El Corazon. Metal from Austin about wolves and dragons and such with no detectable irony. Think Sabbath.
Early show - 8pm start, $10
Sunday 16th
>>> Harry and the Potters at 836 Seattle "We play songs about books!"
8pm; $5 donation
Monday 17th
Nothing. Really.
