Did anyone see any great shows this weekend? What about Helio Sequence and the Pale Pacific at Neumo's? Crooked Fingers at Chop Suey? Anything else awesome?
Personally, I spent my weekend entrenched in indie pop, with All Girl Summer Fun Band at Vera on Saturday (check out Kiku's review!) and Cause Co-Motion at Chop Suey on Sunday.
Cause Co-Motion played a fantastic crash pop set, banging out tons of short jangly songs in the vein of the Buzzcocks meets Orange Juice. I have never, ever seen Seattle this into crash pop. In fact, I've never seen that many people dance at a Seattle indie rock show. It was quite a site to see. I highly recommend catching them if you like short spazzy guitar pop.
Here's a video of them from a Brooklyn show a year ago. Enjoy!

I started my weekend early on Thursday with the King Kahn and BBQ show at Chop Suey. They put on a super fun, super high energy show. The Dutchess and the Duke were great too. It was tough to wake up for work on Friday, but well worth it.

I was at Nectar Lounge last night for Stripmall Architecture (aka Halou without their original drummer), The Fading Collection, and Obelus. That was a really good show.

I saw Helio Sequence play on friday.
God Damn.
It was a capacity show, sweaty and dark inside and when the band started to play, the whole house was rapt and taut. I didn't know too much about them before but I was deeply impressed by their professionalism, humility and virtuosity at the show. Defiantly made me want to listen to their entire discography.

Super good: Forgive Durden opening for Steel Train on Sunday. Razia's Shadow is amazing.
