Turns out we weren't the only Seattle-based music publication celebrating a birthday last week. While we had our Exile in {Imaginary} Girlville party on Wednesday night to rejoice in six years of TIG, Seattle Sound magazine celebrated its second birthday the following night in fine fashion, with a great night of music at the High Dive featuring Blue Giant and Mark Pickerel (as well as Siberian, Ghost of Kyle Bradford, and FourthCity DJs.)

Sadly we imaginary ones were sleeping off the rowdy party from the night before, but luckily we sent photographer Laura Musselman to get some gorgeous shots and make us all sad for what we missed...

Happy second birthday, Seattle Sound!!
