i thought the saturday ghostland show was kinda boring. didn't pack the punch that i expected...

and everyone on the floor was 22 years old and HAMMERED. they would have been dancing to anything last night...

the mono in vcf, cancer rising, transmissionary six, gun that shoots knives show at high dive...mono is amazing as always. but i was really surprised at cancer rising, i was not expecting such rowdy, fun(and intelligent?) rap to be on the same bill with these bands. bought the CD, love it! and yes, there were some hottties in there! go fremont!

I know you have peeps already covering this but I went to the Voyager One CD release party at Neumo’s Saturday night (April 5th). It was a great bill all around. I didn’t see The Kindest Kind (1st band) but I promptly went to their MySpace page and went crazy over their song Street Song by their 2007 CD A Novel. The Upsidedown played after that, followed by Head Like A Kite.

The Upsidedown was a new band for me that I really liked. Three guitar players!

Head Like A Kite didn't wear their Superman costumes but they were still up in the sky (that was a corny line huh?).

Voyager One played a great set and even played some new songs.

To Chris at 1: I agree about the show not packing the expected punch, and said so in forthcoming review.

The Press Corps and Girl Trouble at High Dive Friday night - good show, good people, etc.

I'm not in Seattle, but I love this blog. ;) Saw Spoon in Chicago on Friday, pretty good, and then I had a chance to see Fleet Foxes and Blitzen Trapper last night...blown away as I had hoped. Beautiful stuff.

Hungry Pines, Levator, Saturna @ The Sunset on Friday.

After a long week this was exactly the type of show I wanted to go to! Cheap Pabst and quasi-philosophical conversations about Chuck Klosterman with quasi-philosophical redneck ex-pats. Hungry Pines and Levator were new to me and exciting to watch. Saturna was a rocket of shoegaze-pop, coming off their west coast tour with Bob Mould. Lucky bastards!

can't wait to see fleet foxes on the 18th. it's going to be amazing.

@Ian -- Saturna toured with Bob Mould?!? Zow. I did not know that... how exciting for them!

@ Abby

Be super super pumped.

@Cassi -- love the write-up, especially the photos!

If you don't mind me tooting your horn, this one is nummy...
