Weekend Music
Katelyn just mentioned Common Market, but there's also hip-hop aplenty at the Showbox this weekend, with Portland's Lifesavas and New Orleans' funk-tastic Galactic (featuring Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 and Boots Riley of The Coup) tonight
and Blackalicious, Lyrics Born, and The Mighty Underdogs (featuring The Gift of Gab, Lateef the Truth Speaker and Headnodic) tomorrow night. Here's some footage of Blackalicious freestyling at Florida's Langerado festival a couple months ago.
While grunge-loving Seattlest Clint is kicking himself for being out of town when Brad plays at Neumo's, tonight there's also the homecoming show for Ian Moore at the Tractor. Ian's well known for his dynamic performances, so if you can't make it to Ballard, you can watch his set live (or archived) via the internets.
And in other singer-songwriter news, Bellingham alt.country/folk-rocker Kasey Anderson plays the High Dive Sunday night.
