Gregoire to rock out to The Cave Singers?
Submitted by Cory Banks on June 3, 2008.CultureMob is reporting a last minute addition to Neumos' show calendar, featuring The Cave Singers and, oddly, Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire.
No, it's okay. I'll wait while you read that sentence again.
From CultureMob's blog:
Matador Records recording artists CAVE SINGERS serenade Governor Gregoire with special guests: Telekinesis! and Toy Gun at Neumos on Capitol Hill.
Governor Christine Gregoire
That’s right friends, the Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire will be appearing in the Flesh at Neumos this Friday! I’ll be there for sure, if only to watch the look on her face as she gets serenaded by the Cave Singers. Let’s hope no one spoils the event because it’s too loud and crazy!Tickets are $15 in advance; Doors at 8PM
Why is Governor Gregoire attending the show? Is it part of a political agenda to gauge the young Capitol Hill audience's interest in a soon-to-be proposed Hipster Tax? Have The Cave Singers accepted public office, possibly Secretary of Indie Rock? Or is Gregoire just a huge fan and wants to check out the drink specials?
My weak Google-fu turned up nothing, and a phone call placed to the Neumos event line determined only that Neumos needs to empty their voice mailbox. It looks like the only way to solve this mystery is to go to the show Friday night. Any takers?

I am guessing it has to do with their song "Oh Christine". Get it? I am still scratching my head over the whole thing, but I will say The Cave Singers rule and should be governor.

Hi Cory,
This is 100% confirmed with Steven Severin of Neumos, as incredibly random as it may be. I know that I personally never walk out of that venue without being completely drenched in sweat and covered in beer, so it's going to be fun alright! Do you think the Governor will be getting down at the front of the dance floor, screaming OW OW OW!?Hanging out in the street in front of Nuemos bumming cigarettes? Up on the balcony yelling curses at friends down below? Ordering one vodka-cran after another and jumping on stage after the show is done?
It is possible I am projecting here.
The Mobsters here at CultureMob.com have been in close contact with Steven concerning our party Thursday night: THE ROOTS New Album "Rising Down" Listening Party with a DJ set by the distinguished ?uestlove of the Roots, hosted by Black Thought.
Read more about it here.
See you on the dance floor,
Shilo Urban
