Franklin's Venoy Overton, ranked the 26th-best point guard among the nation's high school seniors, rescinded his commitment to USC today and will be a Husky. more ›

Jose Gonzalez - Seattlest managed to find entry into the KEXP's live broadcast area featuring Bumbershoot artists. Jose Gonzalez's set was absolutely perfect, the smaller crowd (~30 people) and intimate staging perfect for his one man, one guitar formula.

For approximately the nine millionth time, Seattlest implores you to experience the musical majesty that is "Awesome." Simply put, we love this band---they are a hilarious group of guys and truly talented musicians to boot. They're playing an early show tomorrow night at the Mirabeau Room, an event that serves as a preview of their upcoming epic art/music/comedy extraordinaire noSIGNAL, debuting a month from now at On the Boards. Tomorrow night's set will feature some of the new noSIGNAL material and, assuredly, many of their classic hits. Also in attendance: everybody's favorite afroed luvaman Reggie Watts. Like most people in town, Seattlest has a giggly schoolgirl crush on Reggie, as he is one charming big-haired man. more ›

Featuring music and jump roping and dancing (oh my), this soiree is free and for the whole family. Seattlest is particularly excited for the performance of everybody's favorite afroed new wave soul luvaman, Reggie Watts. more ›
