three imaginary girls — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 05:21:26 +0000

We gathered our imaginary staff to determine our collective Northwest favorites for 2007. It was hard work. Imaginary battles were fought, alliances formed, and finally, winners emerged.

You should have seen the way that imaginary Liz can arm wrestle, and how Erik Gonzalez can duke it out for his favorite bands. It was fierce and fun, and we think our final list was well worth the effort.

Best of 2007: ChrisB's Top 10 Northwest releases

ChrisB — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 18:24:50 +0000

OK, the rain has let up a bit but I'm still not anxious to leave the apartment yet. Here's my 10 favorite local albums from 2007, complete with YouTube-y goodness - as best I could find it.

(I'm sure there'll be some continuity issues with the scores I've assigned - I wrote the reviews for four of the albums below. This is how I am ranking them at the end of the year.)

10. Fleeting Frequencies, Patience Please, Happy Happy Birthday to Me (song: "Bint"):

9. ...The Art of Becoming One's Own Shadow, Lillydale, Mt. Fuji (song: unknown, at least to me, but it was the only one I could find):

Props and thanks to Line Out

imaginary dana — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 19:40:21 +0000

Special big thanks to Megan Seling for this quotable, which made me start giggling in fits in the midst of my dayjob work meeting (mostly on the inside, though it was hard to keep it contained!).

TIG presents: Tullycraft, Math & Physics Club, Patience Please TONIGHT at the Croc!

imaginary dana — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 15:56:16 +0000

Tonight's the night, peeps!!!!! We sure hope we're gonna see your sweet faces there.

Giddiness, Giveaways, Vampires, and other reasons to be excited about our show at the Crocodile TOMORROW!

imaginary liz — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:19:59 +0000

We're soooo giddy about the show, we've got a couple giveaways to mark the occasion -- and this awesome video to sing along to...

Only TWO more days until the BIG SHOW at the Crocodile: Let's celebrate with a giveaway, video, and all out giddiness!

imaginary liz — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 15:56:30 +0000

Today we're going to take a look at our sweethearts Math and Physics Club. They're fresh off a mini-tour with The Lucksmiths (be still our hearts!) which capped off with MaPC's EP release show.

Only three days until this Thursday's BIG SHOW at the Crocodile! Let's celebrate with a prize pack!

imaginary liz — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 15:59:34 +0000

Tullycraft CD release poster awesomeness

Know what else is so fantastic it deserves multiple "effings" in front of it? The show poster for the Tullycraft CD release show, proudly presented by yours truly at TIG.

Countdown to October 18th: Tullycraft album release show with Math and Physics Club and Patience Please!

imaginary liz — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 14:40:43 +0000

It's been way too long (like two whole years?) since Tullycraft has released anything new and this time they're making up for it for releasing a 16-track album chock full of indie-pop goodness, catchy guitar-rifts and swoon-worthy ooohs and ahhhs that will make light-headed.

Fleeting Frequencies

ChrisB — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 16:50:40 +0000

7.5

If the Ramones hung out with Elvis Costello and the Talking Heads in the lunch room and spent their teenage years paying attention in high school and filling out college applications and not experimenting with drugs and beating people up with baseball bats, they might sound quite a bit like Patience Please.

Although Fleeting Frequencies is the young band's first proper LP, it is chocked full of short, fun, catchy powerpop songs. Listening to each song is like reading a short story with guitars, drums, keys and bass behind it. Each song/story deals with teenage/early twenties love, but reveals a level of maturity and introspection not commonly found in most pop songs. The lyrics are written as prose. For example, “Science Credits” begins, “when there’s something wonderful that’s wounded, it’s always never quite enough to dull the dirge with dialogue.”

The songs on the album flow seamlessly from one song to the next. Strangely, they even flowed seamlessly on shuffle - which adds a level of complexity when choosing a favorite.

I really admire “You’re It, I Quit,” “I’ll Have What She’s Having,” “If You’re Sure” and “Buxtry Berkeley Mews”, which are more firsts amongst equals rather than standouts. They are memorable tracks that are simply well-written and well-constructed pop songs. Singer/guitarist Ray Proudfoot has a voice that is earnest and sincere. Yet it’s the understated keyboard parts that give the songs a more delicate sound and vulnerability that isn’t always apparent with drums, bass and guitars.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Fleeting Frequencies, yet I can’t escape the feeling that while this record is very good, the next Patience Please record will be outstanding. There's not a bad song in the mix, yet I can see the band will grow as songwriters and musicians and feel more comfortable taking chances in the studio. Since we’re in the middle of a pennant race right now and the baseball season is really starting to get interesting, consider Fleeting Frequencies a bases-clearing ground-rule double. Mark my words, the next one will be a home run.

Each song/story deals with teenage/early twenties love, but reveals a level of maturity and introspection not commonly found in most pop songs. The lyrics are written as prose.

The TIG birthday weekend: an imaginary recap

three imaginary girls — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 04:04:27 +0000

7 Jul 2007

boatchona07jul2.jpg

When TIG decided to host not one but two shows to celebrate our 5th birthday, we knew it would be a blast of a weekend. And we were right. We had the times of our imaginary lives, and we owe it all to you... well, and to the fabulous bands who played (BOAT, the Shaky Hands, Dolour, Eux Autres, Patience Please, and the Western States Motels, we HEART THEE!!!!).

Here are a few words and images from the imaginary staff to relay the fun times.

Here's to imaginary year number six, and beyond!

"On my summer vacation, I went to Seattle and saw Dana and David and Rick and Mona and Fellini and Kaylee and Jesse and Ever and Liz and Kelly and Andras and Cal and Stacia and Pete and Bijou and Christine and Char and Brian and Robby and Embracey and Melissa and ChrisB and Rick and BOAT and Jimi and Kjersti and Jason and Elle and Kiku and Stella and Chelsea and Jeremy and a lot of other people. It was fun and I got to wear fake eyelashes. The End."

~ Betsy Boston

"Whoooo-eee, that was a party if I've ever seen one! BOAT really brought down the house with their trademark fun, playful performance (I brought my "Official BOAT Shaker" and geeked out in the front row!), and Patience Please were spot on, as always. These two were my favorites of the night and both bands deserved to sell about a million (at the very least!) copies of their new releases. The ever-lovely Eux Autres played an impressive set, too. The Shaky Hands were a bit more rock and a bit less pop than the other bands, but their percussionist (not their drummer, but their cowbell/shakers/etc. player) was a kick to watch dancing around in his aviator sunglasses!"

~ imaginary Chelsea

"My highlights from the Friday night Croc show:

* Dana's hair. I still want to know what those crafty VAIN folks put in there to make it beehive so Winehouse-ily.
* Liz's hair. I like to imagine she's wearing the blue extensions on her travels, days later, right this minute.
* Char's hair. Mainly just because it was attached to Char, who is a general delight."

~ imaginary boy embracey

"The Shaky Hands have so much energy. At one point at the end of their set, I almost called 9-1-1 because they were writhing around -- on the floor and standing up -- with such intensity, I though for sure they were on fire. Seriously, I've never seen anyone play the cowbell with such fervor in my life. And this was at the Vera Project all ages show, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't alcohol induced fervor.

At the Croc show, I loved watching all of the tig staff members who had never met (but had exchanged witty banter via the imagiblog) meet each other. There were hugs, there were tears, it was like a show on Lifetime television for women... Without Valerie Bertinelli playing the poor-single-mom-being-stalked-by-her-ex-husband's-father plotline."

~ imaginary char

"There was much, much to love about the the two evenings. I had the rare pleasure in seeing many of my favorite people in the world in a span of about 27 hours; at the Croc on Friday night the beer was flowing freely (and free) and it was wonderful to meet Betsy Boston, Elle, Imaginary Chelsea, and Imaginary Kiku, all de-lovelies who I've only known of through this site and not known until this weekend. Yet, as Kylie Minogue once put it (probably dishonestly in her case and certainly in mine), "I'm just here for the
music." I'm sure that most people will be commenting on BOAT and The Shaky Hands (or as I now call them, with affection, "Clap Your Shaky Hands Say Yeah") - and for good reason - and all of the bands were terrific, truth be told. If I had to pick just one, it would be the returning champions, Dolour (who also played TIG's 3rd birthday party). Lead singer Shane Tutmarc is one of the best and most consistent songwriters in town. I really love the Beach Boys-influenced pop from one of the northwest's finest bands."

~ ChrisB

Getting to feel like a super rockstar at VAIN for our makeovers was definitely a treat and if you ever have the chance to do it yourself, I highly recommend. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite band -- they were all so incredible! I thought the Western States Motel were an incredibly happy surprise, and BOAT of course stole both the shows.

~ imaginary Dana

"Of course meeting all the Imaginary writers was an amazing thing. It was so neat to be at a show with dozens of folks who really love the Seattle music scene. Seeing everyone in their party dresses was fun too :]

Although many of the over-21 crowd were most likely all partied out from the previous night's show, the enthusiasm and energy was still overwhelmingly present in BOAT's spectacular performance. This was the third time I've seen BOAT live, and it seems like every show they play they add something new. With their quirky assortment of odd instruments, their interaction with the audience (ahm, Official BOAT Shakers!) and their killer rock-star dance moves, it's obvious that they love music, and performing, and really you couldn't ask for nicer guys to provide your pop music fix."

~ imaginary Kiku

Our fifth birthday party weekend was nothing short of amazing! See some photos, and read what some imaginary staffers had to say about it.

MORE ABOUT THE AWESOME BANDS!

BOAT
Seattle's lo-fi troubadours celebrate their DIY ethic with smart, catchy songs and -- best of all -- their second full-length release on Portland's Magic Marker records.
BOAT on TIG: http://www.threeimaginarygirls.com/band/boat
Website: http://boat.ohnodisaster.com
MP3: http://boat.ohnodisaster.com/mp3s
Label: Magic Marker Records

The Shaky Hands
Hook-laden and jangly in all the right places, the debut, self-titled release from Portland's the Shaky Hands was highly anticipated by TIG as well as a majority of music blogging community, who were captivated by their fresh, disarming brand of indie-rock.
The Shaky Hands on TIG: http://www.threeimaginarygirls.com/band/theshakyhands
Website: http://www.myspace.com/shakyhands
Video: "Why and How Come?"
Label: Holocene

Dolour
It's been over three years since the last sunshiny release from Seattle pop masters Dolour, and after hearing the The Year in the Wilderness, we know it's been worth the late. Come welcome back the return of Seattle's best Pet Sounds-flavored pop band.
Dolour on TIG: http://www.threeimaginarygirls.com/band/dolour
Website: http://www.dolour.com/
Recommended track: "Naive"
Label: self-released

Eux Autres
Portland's Eux Autres charm with their coarse, cute, clever, and cosmopolitan songs. The brother-sister duo (drummer Heather, guitarist Nicholas) craft songs that range from fetching nonchalant quips to wacked-out euro-stylee indie-pop bliss.
Eux Autres on TIG: http://www.threeimaginarygirls.com/band/euxautres
Website: http://www.euxautres.net
MP3: http://www.euxautres.net/music/Eux_Autres-Ecoutez_Bien.mp3
Label: Grenadine Records

Patience Please
The very imaginary Seattle quartet Patience Please will rock the stage with their darling Jets to Brazil musicianship and Bunnygrunt quirk. Also the band is *this close* to releasing their debut full-length (titled Fleeting Frequencies) so the show will be chock full of new energetically cute (and new) PP songs.
Patience Please on TIG: http://threeimaginarygirls.com/band/patienceplease
Website: http://www.myspace.com/patienceplease
MP3: http://www.indiepages.com/patienceplease/illhave.mp3
Label: Happy Happy Birthday to Me

The Western States Motel
LA's the Western State Motels are a little bit folkie, and a little bit indie-pop-and-roll, and their debut LP has garnered praise as far and wide as the LA Times to SPIN to My Old Kentucky Blog -- and of course, Three Imaginary Girls. One of the most promising new bands from our neighbors to the way south. Website: http://www.thewesternstatesmotel.com/
Recommended track "Cheap Speakers"
Label: Self-released
