Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition
REVERB Ballard, that local bastion of autumnal bonhomie, offers the year’s best bet for catching some of our favorite local bands when REVERB takes over the neighborhood all throughout Saturday. Celebrating its fifth anniversary, the Seattle Weekly festival features over 60 bands at nine different venues. We are especially excited to see Champagne Champagne, Raggedy Anns, and Kay Kay & His Weathered Underground, but the entire lineup is rather stellar.
From noon on // Various Ballard venues // $7-$10
LADY KONNYAKU Damn, we've had Gwen Stefani's song, Harajuku Girls, stuck in our heads for like, three years. Perfect timing for Seattle's own Japanese street fashion designer, Lady Konnyaku's Underground Fashion Show and party this Saturday night. Cheap tickets, booze, fashion and fun.
9 p.m. // Greenwood Collective Underground, 8537 Greenwood Avenue North | Suite 1 // $7
LOCAL SIGHTINGS The 12th Local Sightings--a yearly festival of Northwest filmmaking--kicks off this weekend. The festival features an array of feature, documentary and short films, great prizes, filmmaker parties, archival Northwest films and an impressive national film industry jury looking for strong Northwest work. Saturday, check out When Life Was Good, an atmospheric and dreamlike film st among the lives of thirtysomethings whose lives are in emotional turmoil. Follow it up with Punch at 11. a fast-paced and bloody adaption of The Last Stand of the Teenage Mod Murder Squad, created Jay Cynik and graphic artist Simon Young. Punch is urban, bloody, and colorful. The films will be followed by an opening party.
7 p.m. // Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Avenue // $6-$9
