We're sure we don't need to say this, but you can't miss your caucus. This is the first year in our whole time in the Pacific Northwest where it matters what Washington voters think. If you're still wondering where to go, here are two Dem or GOP caucus locators. Caucusing starts at 1pm. We understand that if you know who you support and you don't want to spend an hour or two talking about it,......

Audrey pretty much summed it up yesterday, but to paraphrase: Rocky Votolato and Jesse Sykes are a miraculous match made in Americana heaven. It was over two months ago that we spotted this double-feature and -- no exaggeration -- we actually gasped. Having seen Sykes and Votolato on separate occasions and having been blown away by both, the prospect of seeing them perform on the same night (and hopefully together -- fingers crossed), well, we're......

We are both completely smitten with our new SAM and completely broke, which means we jump at any opportunity to nix the admissions charge. Tonight is no exception, but with an added bonus! It's first Thursday and not only do we get to hang out at SAM for free, but local band Slender Means will be playing from 7 - 8 p.m. If you love Slender Means like we do, you know their infectious......

As it should be, it's quiet this week in Seattle, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do -- especially the closer we get to New Year's Eve. So without further ado, Seattlest's belated gift to you -- some shows: Thursday, December 28 >>> Vicci Martinez, Kym Tuvim, Jonatha King, and Danny Godinez at The Tractor. Singer/songwriter Vicci Martinez is not only an immensely talented artist with impressive stage presence, she's also cute as......

What a great way to close out the summer: Beer, fried food on stick, irritatingly large crowds, great music, and a slight chance of rain (remember last year?). Seattlest loves us some Bumbershoot though, and we wouldn't let some pesky weather ruin our fun. This year looks to be a good one. A couple things we are digging right off the bat are the addition of good bands on the outdoor stages and ditching the......

Q: What's better than a night in Seattle, having some drinks, and listening to some live music? A: A night in Seattle, having some drinks, and listening to live music that doesn't blow ass. Tuesday 15th >>> The French Kicks at Neumo's. What's post post-rock? Pop, it turns out! However, few bands have been hated on more for missing their scene's success then these scenesters. 8pm, $12 Wednesday 16th >>> Seattle Secret Music Showcase......

Once upon a time about a hundred blog years ago Seattlest tried doing an 'MP3 of the Week' post, um, weekly. Possibly it lasted two or three weeks. Those were glorious weeks, sure, and the mp3's were flying for those few posts, but, of course, the well of decent tracks dried up and the feature died. One of those posts was around the holidays and featured a holiday song by Jay Cox of the Sea......

This has been a busy week, at least in terms of announcements as to who's involved in things taking place sometime in the future. Seattlest breaks it down: Rock Lottery: This KEXP benefit/rock talent free-for-all involves a whole buncha local musicians divided into randomly-determined groups of five, who are then given twelve hours to write new material together before performing it that night (last year at Con Works, this year at Neumo's April 29th).......
