We here at TIG have always considered the record, whether it's 7", 10", 12" or custom cut somewhere in between, a piece of art. Colored or standard black, civilian weight or hi-fi 180 gram, each record is precious. Listening to a song on vinyl creates both a physical and emotional bond to the sounds wafting […]
As we announced back in January, there's a new film which captures the first meeting of Three Imaginary Girls' very own Chris Estey and the King of Indie, Calvin Johnson (wiki K Records, Beat Happening, all things rad)! This meeting of the two mega-minds took place in the historic Columbia City Theater where Chris and […]
We are always bursting with pride to count Chris Estey as a friend, let alone be honored enough to have him share his words on Three Imaginary Girls. But today, the thunderous applause coming from the imaginary office for Chris is deafening. This morning we heard the amazing news that there are now public screenings […]

Whether you just arrived back into SeaTac or where here for the sunny Saturday-ness, I am sure we have all earned our warm mug of theraputic goodness this morning. What did you […]

The Northwest Folklife Festival has more to offer than street buskers, yodeling, clog dancing, and seemingly-endless food lines. I made the trek out to Folklife this past Sunday especially to see pop darlings Central Services and twee deity (tweeity, if you will) Calvin Johnson. First up was Seattle band Central Services on The Vera Stage. […]
It's Tuesday, the sun is shining and, admit it, you're already counting down to the weekend. If you're looking for a way to make the most of the sunny Northwest weather – roadtrip it down to Portland for a couple STELLAR benefit shows. Set the plans in motion now to have your weekend start a […]

Featuring BOAT, the Elephants, Calvin Johnson, The Decemberists, The Long Winters, and more {thru 8/31/06} As expected — last Monday (August 22) was a late night. Boat headlined a night worth missing a good night's sleep over. It was a wonderful and late night indeed. Before we launch into the details (The Elephants! Boat!), […]
Saturday April 2nd, Three Imaginary Girls stopped by the KEXP studios to play some tunes during the local Northwest music show, Audioasis. This time our gracious host was DJ Abe Beeson who, in addition to having a fabulous DJ voice {which we already knew}, is a super-nice fella with a passion for cassette tapes {and […]
