Capitol Hill Block Party
Thursday, July 28, 2016 11:48 — 1 Comment
Capitol Hill Block Party was a Sunday out of the sun with (mostly) Seattle artists. My plan for the experience carried a few rules: 1) My Block Party exposure would be Sunday only 2) I decided to just check out local bands I hadn’t seen live before (which I mostly stuck to) and 3) I had to be home in time to put my son to bed, so I’d cede the sprawling CHVRCHES set to all the young dreamers. Set schedules conspired to keep me indoors, hustling up and down the stairs between the Neumos and Barboza stages, out of […]
One Super Important Question For Matt ‘Spek’ Watson
Monday, June 20, 2016 11:24 — 0 Comments
Matt ‘Spek’ Watson is a rapper, musician, producer, internet comedian and Facebook yeller. He’s also one of the most important voices in Seattle art and culture. He has a new record out this week, which he’ll be celebrating at Barboza in Capitol Hill on Thursday. We thought we’d catch up with Spek and ask him one super important question about music and the community in the Southend he calls home. JU: You’re just coming off what looks to be a super successful Station Block Party gig with tons of Southend artists celebrating Beacon Hill and the community there. What […]

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring King Khazm, Goodbye Heart and Mississippi Jones. Enjoy! The productive bleakness that leaps out of the new video for “Dear Diary” from Seattle rapper King Khazm is heart-wrenching and fresh. In this video, the artist doesn’t pull punches, doesn’t hide from the onlooking audience. Instead, images of suicide, a black shroud and Khazm’s frail, bare body in the dirt stir us. He delivers his lyrics with ferocity. In […]

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring Sebastian and the Deep Blue, Fauna Shade and The Gin Joints. Enjoy! Sebastian and the Deep Blue have always been skilled at arranging. Utilizing big horns, jazzy guitars and lovely vocal mixes, the band creates detailed, thorough music. The first track from their new record Meritocracy, “Risk Reward,” is no different. The track bumps with big saxophones. It slinks with violins. And it impresses with […]

Hello and welcome back to Three Songs to the Head where we share three songs that moved us, three songs we love, three songs we can’t get out of our heads! Today, we’re featuring the Country Lips, Sundae + Mr. Goessl and Madness Blooms. Enjoy! There are lots of great things to do in Seattle, especially if you’re a fan of music. One of those great things is to go to the Little Red Hen in Greenlake and catch the Country Lips play three sets on the long, skinny LRH stage. You’re transported to another place and time instantly – an […]
