Tonight in Seattle:  

See any awesome shows this weekend?

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.
