Sometimes I feel like Dave Einmo is the busiest musician in Seattle. I miss running into him on the hill, because in addition to being a kick-ass rocker, he's also a damn fine all-around nice guy. But I digress, Einmo has manned Head Like a Kite for more than a few years now (I'd tell […]

Bring back the sun (??!!) with Imaginary Amie's Summer Mixtape
Ahhh….summer. There’s nothing quite like cranking up a bouncy, happy song on a sunny day – whether you’re in a car with the top down, or taking a sunshiny sidewalk stroll with your earphones firmly in place. Sadly, once again this summer, the sunny days in Seattle have been few and far between (Hello, July?). Here’s […]
This weekend's recommended shows: Friday with Carissa's Wierd / Saturday get your TBTL on
{The Lonely Forest photo: Trickshot Photography} This coming weekend is going to be full of more fun than an swim-up pool bar. Friday night (7/9) we have the blessed reunion of Carissa’s Wierd at the Showbox at the Market. If you haven’t heard why you must be there, you can sample their song and hear […]

Let the Halloween video parade begin: Sonic Youth, Smoosh, Beck, Arcade Fire unite!
Halloween is nearly upon us. Many could argue that it actually starts tonight with tomorrow being the BIG night (appropriately full with Halloween theme'd dress up shows and all). Here's a video put out a while back from The North American Halloween Prevention Initiative. It's kinda weird and it was hard to get my brain […]

Free To Stay
"Indie-pop" seems to be the word these days, with bands like Rilo Kiley and Death Cab for Cutie signing to major labels and being featured on The OC. I don't think I've read any reviews of indie-pop Seattle sister-duo Smoosh that didn't include the words, "Jason McGerr," "novelty," and/or "young." And this one probably won't […]
Mates of State, Viva Voce, and Smoosh
Show Date: April 20, 2006
Remember the days when Asy and Chloe's manager (the girls' dad) gave home burned CD's away of the girls' latest recordings? Now Smoosh is signed on Barsuk, they have adoring fans of all ages and they're touring with the Eels. Our little hometown band is all grown up. But don't fret, they're still not grown […]
