So you’re holed up in Ballard this weekend ready to take on the STORM TO END ALL STORMS™. Does it feel like you need a little sunshine in your life? Head on over to the Conor Byrne and check out the Invisible Shivers EP release show. Their jangly sing along indie pop will warm your […]
If you haven’t heard the news already, we hate to be the ones to break it to you. But here it goes – Noise for the Needy is ending. Not for the month or this year, like FOREVER. This Friday and Saturday will be the 10th and final installment of this epically generous and wonderful charity music fest […]
We'll keep this short and sweet: Portland band Celilo is coming up our way this weekend, and if you find yourself in Ballard on Saturday night, you might want to pop into their Conor Byrne show. Bon.

My ass is sore from SIFF, damn it! I need to get up and move around a bit! And not just between theaters either. Hmm, maybe I’ll go see a show or two this weekend. You know, live music! Cold whiskey in hand and a bunch of ragamuffins caterwauling on the bandstand action. It’s been […]

There’s close to seventy-five bands and djs playing a baker’s dozen of venues […]
Mirah is like yoga, Italy, and pizza… it's rare to hear an ill word said about any of them. She hardly needs me to list her finest attributes to convince you to go see her tonight at The Vera Project — except to say that you wont be disappointed. And, who knows who you'll run […]

Hazelwood Motel conspicuously played their nimble nocturnal ravers and disturbing lullabies to help open the sprawling-on-a-strip-of-Ballard magnificent REVERBfest 2008.
