It may not feel like summer in Seattle, but tomorrow afternoon is The End's Summer Camp II at Marymoor Park. It's a mix of the good (Nada Surf, MGMT), the bad (Flogging Molly, Pennywise), and the emo-ey (Armor for Sleep). Meanwhile, all weekend long Noise for the Needy marches on, raising money for Urban Rest Stop. Come tomorrow night, it's Matt and Kim, YACHT, and local band Feral Children at Neumo's. Here's a clip of the ferociously experimental indie Sarathan quintet. more ›

When the Croc closed last December, Black Mountain was already scheduled to play the venue in early February. Luckily, Neumo's knew better than to leave the druggy psychedelic rock five-piece high and dry - they added Black Mountain to the bill of tomorrow night's show, creating a truly awesome (and diverse) bill. Along with BM's Zep-meets-Sabbath-meets-heavy, acid-laced spacerock, Thursday's lineup also includes the groovy, '70s folk-twinged Americana of Howlin Rain, the tongue-in-cheek electro-pop of the perpetually be-caped MGMT, and the complex polyrhythms and world music-leaning harmonies of buzz band Yeasayer. It's rare you find a couple good performers on a bill, let alone three or four well worth seeing live. Tomorrow night at Neumo's you just can't go wrong. We can only imagine what the crowd's going to be like. more ›
