This Monday, August 22nd, please join us in the Croc’s back bar as the imaginaries take over the DJ booth and ply you with our favorite songs, drink specials and cheap eats from 5pm to 9pm!

It’s all part of the Crocodile’s weekly happy hour booze and schmooze series, The Office (aptly named since most of the important work in this town gets done at a bar). For the Three Imaginary Girls happy hour, each of the four TIG DJs has a distinct style and vision for their set. We’ve planned them out with care for maximum Monday post-work bliss.

Of course, we’re still firming up our playlists – so if you are planning to join us and have any requests, shout ‘em out in the comments section and we’ll do our best to fit them in!

For more info and to spread the word to all your friends, check out the Facebook event page for the Office and share / like / RSVP!

An imaginary interview in the Seattle Weekly with... us!

It's not often that we find ourselves on the other side of the interview table, but we were recently honored beyond belief to have a few questions tossed our way by Sara Brickner of the Seattle Weekly. We talked about about our imaginary M.O. {um, what?} and they even printed some kind words from our local favorite folks D. Crane of BOAT and Abbey Simmons of Sound on the Sound. Added bonus, there's even a cute imaginary-inspired graphic whipped up by Dalton Webb to boot!

The article appears in this week's issue or you can read it on the Weekly website.

Countdown to Top of the Croc: Come see my newest favorite band - iji

imaginary liz — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:33:13 +0000

There are so many reasons to join us at the Crocodile to mark its grand re-opening in imaginary style, but one of the reasons I'm most excited is the chance to see my newest favorite band, iji (pronounced eehee), take the swank new Crocodile stage.

Top of the Croc countdown - one month to go and check out these pictures!

Are you just as excited for the re-opening of our beloved croc as we are? Well then check out our Top of the Croc imaginary fun night on April 4th.

TIG welcomes back the Croc: We have an "Awesome" lineup for our April 4 show!

imaginary dana — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:33:58 +0000

We have a bill for our big imaginary "Top of the Croc!" bash! This news is so new, we haven't even written up Ye Olde Press Release yet... but we couldn't wait another millisecond to share this great lineup.

TIG presents: Winter Holiday Spectacular with Telekinesis,The Kindness Kind, Hey Marseilles, M. Bison, Indie-Rock Santa and more

It's Ho Ho Holiday time and that means it's time for the joyous Three Imaginary Girls Holiday Party!

Join us for the TIG Winter Holiday Spectacular at Chop Suey on Saturday, December 27th. The night will be packed with fun big enough to help you forget about any holiday drama and celebrate all those December holidays (including but not limited to imaginary Liz's birthday).

This year the Winter Holiday Spectacular will feature performances from six of our favorite Seattle bands:

Telekinesis {just added to the bill}
The Kindness Kind
Hey Marseilles
M. Bison
Star Lake Drownings
The Femurs
The Mangles

You can also have a keepsake of the spectacularly good times for your mantel! Indie Rock Santa John Roderick (of The Long Winters) will have his lap available so you can pose with him to have your picture taken by the lovely and talented Laura Musselman for free. Also on tap, we'll have the legendary Jim Anderson (from the Crocodile) manning the soundboard for the night.

The best part of the evening is that all proceeds will benefit Soild Ground, an organization that builds community to end poverty. Each year they give 33,000 families each year the services, resources and support they need to overcome homelessness, hunger and despair. They also mobilize people to create public and private policies that are responsive to the needs of low-income people.

It's our end of the year blow-out so there will be no-holds-barred on what the evening will have in store.

Come mistle-toe one on with us!

{Special thanks to the evening's sponsors: Easy Street Records and Seattle Show Posters}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More about the bands:

The Kindness Kind
Updating electronic pop with intricate hooks and Cure-inspired vocals that make us emphatically smile, dance and sing along.

Hey Marseilles
Hey Marseilles create lush soundscapes that mash folky indie pop with your favorite orchestra instruments (including cello, trumpet, and accordion to name a few).

M. Bison
This quartet's songs mix of showtuney Ben Folds Five keyboards with singalong vocals (that every once in a while have a distinct Squeeze feel) and poppy guitar jabs.

Star Lake Drownings
Formerly known as Stella by Starlight, SLD infuses shoegazer into our favorite parts of the Rentals and early Belly.

The Femurs
It makes sense that we'd spend the holidays with the first band that Dana and Liz ever interviewed together. We love Rob Femur and his Ramones-infused indie-folk that brings to mind both early Violent Femmes with Beach Boys harmonies.

The Mangles
We are so excited to celebrate the night with The Mangles. They will start the night off with a fun bang as they cover The Bangles and perhaps even sneak Liz's favorite theme song into the mix.

Keith John Adams wrote a song about Three Imaginary Girls... have a listen! Personally, we think it rules.

Just when we thought the Imaginary Showcase marking the holidays / my birthday couldn't get any more spectacular, we have just learned that John Roderick (The Long Winters, dapper man about town) is going to be our Indie Rock Santa at the show!
