{photo credit: the lovely Laura Musselman, courtesy of our imaginary flickr pool} Now that we’re all done with Sasquatch, it’s time to set our sights on the next raddest lineup to hit the west coast: it’s Noise for the Needy, 2010 edition. There’s close to seventy-five bands and djs playing a baker’s dozen of venues […]
Our friends from Friday Mile are celebrating the release of their brand new album Good Luck Studio this Friday (November 13, but don’t let superstition keep you from checking out a great show) at the Tractor. Earlier in the year, they rocked the hell out of my birthday show at Chop Suey in January and […]

The Second Annual Doe Bay Festival was a magical experience up on Orcas Island. A music festival like no other, and likely the closest thing to the free-loving style of the 60’s that I’m likely to experience. the Long Winters As noted in the Doe Bay Bible, festival program, it was 40 years ago that […]
I was going to wait until it got a little closer to the event before mentioning this here but I hear that tickets are selling very fast and would hate for it to sell out before any of our readers heard about this great event. As someone who does most of their recreational traveling based […]
Friday Mile has long been one of our favorite Northwest bands. Look in the TIG archives and you'll see we've been raving about the fantastic pop rock band at least as far back as 2005. They also rocked the hell out of Chop Suey on Inauguration Night (a show I booked for my 30th birthday), […]
I cannot be more excited for TIG's Inauguration Day party, which is coming up in just five more nights with Ed Wang, Benjamin Bear, H is for Hellgate and Friday Mile. I'm going to write about one band each day until the big event (which I booked to coincide with my upcoming thirtieth birthday). The […]

To celebrate this joyous event (and my forthcoming 30th birthday three days later), we've put together what is sure to be one fantastic show. Please join us on Inauguration […]

I had never been to Nectar before this evening and I must say, it's one fabulous venue. The staff and patrons were extra friendly and the sound was honestly some of the best I’ve heard in Seattle. The stage is a bit high up but the room is engaging and the perfect size for just […]

Walking into a Friday Mile show was like stepping into a John Hughes movie. The locale of their CD release party, Chop Suey, with its paper lanterns and deep red walls, helped. Throw in a disco ball and you could have easily picked Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson out of the crowd. There’s something about […]
The title of Friday Mile's latest EP, Love & Gasoline comes from a line from "Battlescars," a song from this six-song record. "With the right mix of love and gasoline, we could torch, we could torch this whole city." It sets the tone for the album. Each of the songs deals with intense passion or […]
