Another sold-out Saturday night at the Showbox. Another amazing performance by another amazing band it’s taken us too long to see.

REMINDER: This Saturday, Annuals open the show for Blonde Redhead at the Showbox and we just might have your tickets right here.

This Saturday, New York indie-experimental band Blonde Redhead plays the Showbox in a sure-to-wow evening with alt-pop opening act Annuals. We're psyched for both acts, but we've been drooling over Blonde Redhead for quite some time now. They opened for Interpol back in November '05 but we arrived late and missed them completely. Woe was us. We'll be sure to get there early this Saturday.

Seattlest has a new line of thinking on the stasis-problem exhibited by Seattle showgoers. Our new theory is that Seattle crowds aren't actually as lame as we once thought, they just have a lot of inertia. It takes a lot to get them going, but once they are, the new problem is getting them to stop. We thank The Rapture for giving us the inspiration for this new thinking, as Monday's performance and afterparty were truly eye-opening.

About a year ago, Seattlest was at a dinner party where we struck up a conversation with the attorney seated next to us. We chatted pleasantly for awhile and eventually we asked him where he worked. He replied that he worked for Interpol. We got very excited since their debut album Turn on the Bright Lights had us annoying our co-workers and fellow commuters for months with our attempts to sing along. We felt a little stupid when it turned out he worked for the real Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization), though in our defense we had been drinking. On Friday, catch our beloved Interpol at the Paramount when they come to rock the house with their oh-so stylish ways.
