Bumbershoot is nary a month away, giving us a little time to store up energy before another music festival hits our town and has us running from show to show to show. Just announced: the swanky Music Lounge lineup. These shows, co-hosted by KEXP and broadcast via their air- and web-waves, take place in a specially cordoned-off section of the B'shoot grounds.
The bad news? The shows are not truly open to the public.
The good news? You can reserve a spot at each performance at KEXP.org. Seating is limited and reservations are available on a first come, first served basis – so get crackin'.
You can also enter to win a pair of day-specific Bumbershoot passes, including entry to all the Music Lounge performances that day.
Here's the lineup as announced so far:
Saturday, August 30:
Asylum Street Spankers, Thao with the Get Down Stay Down, Nada Surf, and more to be announced.
Sunday, August 31:
Forro in the Dark, Orgone, The Whigs, Sons and Daughters, and Joshua Morrison
Monday, September 1:
Langhorne Slim & The War Eagles, Two Gallants, John Vanderslice, Old 97's, and Black Eyes and Neckties
