Tonight's Recommended Show: U.S.E at the Redmond Firehouse {Erik Lashes Benefit}
Submitted by imaginary liz on May 11, 2007.
There're a lot of good shows tonight, but we have to recommend that we all head to Redmond to the Old Firehouse for an all ages benefit show with headliners U.S.E.
There are few bands in Seattle that can get the party going than U.S.E -- their Daft Punk electronica sensibilities with good time festive lyrics are infectious! All proceeds from the show will benefit Erik Howk of Seattle hipster band The Lashes. Mr. Howk is currently in the hospital healing from a horrible fall last weekend that has left him with mountains of medical bills and months of rehabilitation.
Also tonight is the super secret band on the bill at the Crocodile. Rumors have been flying to and fro... but our money is on some Vaxxine being in the house.
Headed south to Portland? You MUST get to the Thermals / Menomena / Bustling Townships show benefiting the Portland public school system's music education program. The event starts at 8:00pm in the Cleveland High School Auditorium.
Wow... and it's only Friday night -- we still have the whole weekend ahead of us! What do you all have on your calendar for this weekend? Did we miss anything?

I think they dropped the United State of Electronica from their name. It's just U.S.E now. Much love to Eric!

well, I don't know about anyone else, but Saturday night I'll be hitting up the Jason Webley show at the VERA. Who can't love a yarling dude with an accordian who's prone to breaking into Bon Jovi covers and enticing the audience to spin in circles till they can't sand straight anymore? There's also a super awesome show going on at the Croc that night too... The Blakes, Speaker Speaker, and the Whore Moans. Good stuff.

How the hell am I supposed to choose between a U.S.E/Ms. Led bill and a secret Visqueen show? Thanks for stressing me out, TIG.

Can I go on record to call any band on the USE bill that doesn't donate their take from the door to Erik's bills incredibly lame?

I don't think you can speak for all the bands. I know it's just U.S.E at this point donating $ to Eric. From what I hear the other bands haven't confirmed anything, but if they know Eric they probably won't hesitate to give up their split of door $.
