Tonight in Seattle:  

Imaginary Watch This: New Allo Darlin' songs

The mega-cool folks at Scared To Dance have not only recently published a fantastic installment of their wonderful zine {authentically photocopied and everything} flush with interviews {with Edwin Collins, Ballboy, and more}, but they recently posted two videos recorded at a recent Allo Darlin' show in Oslo, letting us hear a couple new songs {"Darren" was played in October when they were in Seattle and is about Hefner cool dude Darren Hayman} and a jumptastic live version of "My Heart is a Drummer."

Yes, it's Monday. But what a better way to kick off the week with some ukelele and songs by one of our most favorite bands ever of all time?

I cannot wait to hear Allo Darlin's second/next album. The new songs they've taunted us with in their lives sets are brilliant and seem ready to record. Fingers are crossed it'll be released soon… or at least some teaser EPs or something will be available for purchase when they play the San Francisco PopFest in May... or dare I dream for a Seattle show before or after their SF Popfest stop?

Do we know for certain they'll be @ SF popfest 2011? the schedule doesn't look like it's been released yet, and their own site only goes through March.
Mark: I *love* your serious tone about this... because, confirming Allo Darlin' will be on the west coast in May and within reach of seeing perform again *is* very important business. I think it's pretty official -- the SF Popfest folks posted their confirmation on this message board.

Are you going?!?!?!? I personally can't go (which makes me sad beyond belief). If you go, you have to tell me how it is... and video tape it... and take notes.
Since I didn't read that forum post, I didn't know. :-) And Seapony! Most excellent! :-) I don't know about going or not, but I'm sure interested in seeing what the schedule ends up being. Spread out over 5 days makes it a bit tougher to plan a trip away though.
I really do adore that I've found a fellow Allo D fan. I didn't see Seapony is playing there too! That's awesome!!!
