Grimy: Sic Alps at The Funhouse

Grimy: Sic Alps at The Funhouse

As a native San Franciscan, I've been drooling over the Sic Alps for a couple of years now. They make trippy garage rock full of sweet melodies and weird lyrics, and have mastered sounding both kind of poppy and kind of grimy at the same time. In the five short years they've been a band, the internet has gobbled them up whole because of fuzzy, 60s sound and excellent live shows. more ›

The Shins to Wince Two Nights Away at the Showbox

Sub Pop's 20th Birthday Bash Set For July

We clued you in to this last October, but now it's official: Sub Pop Records is celebrating its 20-year existence with a three-day comedy and music festival July 11-13. And the (initial) lineup, though weighted more heavily in the hipster-ish now, features a few super acts from the label's big then. more ›

Get Out July 2008: Two Decades of Sub Pop, One Historic Party to Celebrate

Get Out July 2008: Two Decades of Sub Pop, One Historic Party to Celebrate

In a few seasons, Seattle indie stalwart Sub Pop will shed its adolescent husk and turn 20. Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman, the dudes who put Soundgarden and Nirvana in bins before major label reps stormed Seattle, will, according to this bio, celebrate "as conspicuously as they can manage." more ›

Live at KEXP Volume Three

Live at KEXP Volume Three

Rob Gordon once said, "The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules." more ›

Seattle Listens

Seattle Listens

There' a constant ebb and flow when it comes to the music we love. Sometimes it seems like there's just nothing interesting out there. Nothing to light us up when we listen at home, in our car or on the bus, eyes closed. And then sometimes we find ourselves hauling fist-fulls of new music to the counter of our favorite record store. more ›

We're Number One! (Though "One" Is a Relativist Concept)

Here at Seattlest, we yawn when you discuss the "Rose" Bowl, or the Final "Four." The moment we wait for to validate our University of Washington pride comes every January, when the Peace Corps announces which U.S. university provided the most Peace Corps volunteers. more ›

Asssscat will be the Funniest Thing at Bumbershoot

Asssscat will be the Funniest Thing at Bumbershoot

When we lived in Los Angeles, we would spend our Saturday evenings in a small theatre watching two shows of "Beer, Shark, Mice" with, among others, the janitor on Scrubs and Champ Kind. Yeah, that show was really funny, but nothing compared to what would follow—Asssscat. We'll say it again because we don’t even give a flying fudge, Asssscat. more ›

Sasquatch Report: Sunday Kickoff

Sasquatch Report: Sunday Kickoff

Up next was The Shins, fresh outta P-town. Is it too much to say that their warmth and good humor revived the audience, saving lives most likely lost to hypothermia otherwise? No, it is not. It's not true, exactly, but there you go. Anyway, their set was varied, they tried out two brand-new songs that didn't suck, and as Natalie Portman promised in Garden State, they changed our lives. more ›

WSDOT Has A Bridge Concept To Sell You

WSDOT Has A Bridge Concept To Sell You

Seattlest has let a day or two go by without yammering on about the Viaduct, and we're sorry. Luckily, there's new doings in the bass-ackwards transportation saga, reported in the Seattle Times: a bridge concept. Actually, Seattlest already came up with this idea months and months ago, after consuming a bottle of a "quaffable" Cotes du Rhone one evening and being thus reminded of the bridge they built over there that looks so appealing. more ›
