Bison Involved in Skiffle in West Seattle

Seattlest is late to the party (as usual) on this supercool event—“Skiffle” has already been scooped by WSB and other blogs—but in case you haven’t heard: Bison, a (presumably) rocking group formed by members of Pearl Jam (Mike McCready), PUSA (Dave Dederer), Velvet Revolver (Duff McKagan), the Dusty 45’s, and “artists and students from Arts Corps, Rock School and the Service Board” are playing a benefit show at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center. (Whew) Tonight. The event, which also features visual arts, a guitar-and-canvas-“masterpiece” auction, and music from the Boogilistics, Camille Bloom & Recovery, and Scribes, benefits the Arts Center itself. A $25 donation gets you in. (Proceeds keep cool after-school programs afloat.) Ditch your "But it's West Seattle" gripe. Go. Listen. Enjoy.
