If you’re anything like us, hearing the words "family" and "music" together brings to mind some troubling associations. more ›

Moondoggies and Cave Singers Stomp the Floor at Showbox Tonight

Moondoggies and Cave Singers Stomp the Floor at Showbox Tonight

There seems to be a new grassroots movement lately toward, well... bluegrass/newgrass rock music. Now I'm sure you're thinking, as were we, that bluegrass is for your dad or grandpa. Honestly about six months ago we would have agreed with you wholeheartedly. No matter how many records people would play for us, we simply weren't convinced. It just wasn't relateable... at the time. Flash forward to the present and we find ourselves in love with talented bluegrass-style groups like the Maldives, Moondoggies, Cave Singers, Trampled by Turtles, Blitzen Trapper, and even arguably The Builders and the Butchers and Decemberists. more ›

One of our favorite local super bands, Grand Hallway, will be rocking your socks off tonight at the Hard Rock Cafe. Along with Lindsay Fuller and The Royal Bear they'll being playing to raise money for Team Up for Nonprofits. It's a new organization that uses the power of music to raise funds and awareness for various causes. In 2010, Team Up raised more than $10,000 for local nonprofits, including Bike Works, Seattle Against Slavery, and Seattle Works, through its “Gigs4Good” concert series. This is the first annual benefit to support Team Up; proceeds will help them build a successful lineup of artists to perform at "Gigs4Good" and other events in 2011. more ›

Seeing the Maldives Will Only Cost You Your Email

Seeing the Maldives Will Only Cost You Your Email

Just so you're not left in the dark, we signed up to see what happens. You give some personal info, which is expected, then they send you an activation link. After your account is created it says "You're on the list, see you there!" We attempted to delve into the site, thinking there was more to it than that, but apparently not, at least for now. It's worth a shot, and the promise of at least one free show ain't bad, especially with the lineup they've got for you. more ›

Bumbershoot: Top Ten Local Acts You've Got To See

Bumbershoot: Top Ten Local Acts You've Got To See

We thought it would be a pretty easy project to sort through the Bumbershoot bill for the top ten local acts. Holy cow, were we wrong! There is an unbelievable list of local bands that you would love. Unfortunately, that would be entirely too work for one weekend. Instead, we took on the monumental task of whittling it down to ten. Understandably, it was pretty difficult. Below are Seattlest's picks for the entire weekend if you are looking for a local music overload. They're listed in order of appearance at the festival. more ›

The Maldives Rock Riders of the Purple Sage at SIFF

The Maldives Rock Riders of the Purple Sage at SIFF

Seattle International Film Festival's got a tradition going that we hope lasts long into the future. For the past few years, as part of the Face the Music Series, the Festival has presented silent films of the industry’s earliest era teamed with live score performances by exceptional indie bands, including The Album Leaf and No Age. Among all of SIFF's movie premieres, various special presentations, groundbreaking cinema, and awards, these musical presentations, mostly held at The Triple Door, have become must see events. more ›

This weekend, we’re happy to recommend two events that may just enhance your mental and physical health, while helping to connect you with your neighbors one last time before the rain-induced hibernation officially begins. These two events combine three of the city's strengths: local music, community and the great outdoors. more ›

Can't Miss It: Tuesday

Can't Miss It: Tuesday

FOR THE WEALTHY BOOKWORMS: Chilean exiled author Isabel Allende is the keynote speaker at a benefit lunch over on the Eastside today, at the Maydenbauer Center. She wrote "The House of The Spirits," an epic generations-spanning magic realism novel about Estaban and Alba and (maybe) Pablo Neruda, among other dozens of acclaimed literary manifestations of genius. If you have the minimum $150 donation to get you a seat at the benefit, this is where you need to be at lunch-time. more ›

Weekend Music

Tonight, drink pricey beers at the WaMu Theater (hey, they need the money!) before The Kills and The Raconteurs. You best get there early; believe us, it takes a lotta beers to make Jack White look pretty, but no drinks at all to make him sound good. more ›

More on Bumbershoot Monday

More on Bumbershoot Monday

As previously mentioned, Monday at Bumbershoot was heavily skewed towards the alt-country side of things. We're not sure if that's good programming or bad programming. On the one hand, if you're way into alt-country, just attend that one day of the festival and you're all set; on the other hand, you've got some tough choices to make among Blitzen Trapper, Langhorne Slim, Two Gallants, the Maldives, and Old 97s. We managed to catch some of all of the above, which ranged from alt-country to straight-up country to country-twinged blues rock. The diversity of sound was overwhelming. more ›
