Someone from the Zune marketing borg emailed last week and asked if Seattlest wanted to be assimilated announce a show. And, hell yeah, of course we do, so much so that we even have some amateur Zune ad copy prepared: "Once you go brown..." Well, that's all we've got so far. We're working on it. So the band for this free and public show is Secret Machines from the Lone Star State, which happens to be a band we dig. You might remember them from their recent happening at the Showbox where they eschewed the whole stage thing that so many bands accept with lemming-like resignation and played in the round. Uh, Shakespeare style...

This secret Secret Machines show will happen in Seattle next week sometime - We'll tell you exactly where and when first thing Friday morning so check back then. Will it be in the round again? Even we don't know the answer to that.
