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 next weekend, when NFTN takes over every corner of Seattle from June 9th (Thursday) through the 13th (Sunday). Among the notables in big font this year are John Vanderslice, Visqueen, Horse Feathers, Delta Spirit, the Maldives, The Album Leaf, Animals at Night, The Portland Cello Project, and The Redwood Plan — along with enough supporting acts to make your head spin. Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets, or you can just buy a la carte at each show / venue — although there’s some sweet all-access wristband deals being offered if you want to rock it like that.

All proceeds this year are slated to benefit Teen Feed, a service dedicated to providing hot, nutritious meals to homeless youth in Seattle. The long and short of this year’s story is that the proceeds from NFTN 2010 will allow meal services at Teen Feed to increase from six nights a week to seven, effectively helping them to serve the community every single night of the year. It doesn’t get much radder than that.
