JULY 8: FEMALE FIENDS, BEIGE RADIO, CANDYSOUND, THE CITY HALL
The Vera Project // 8 PM // $8 ADV // All Ages
Our friends at Vera have a great lineup for this upcoming Friday. This set of all-local bands ranging from “sad boy party rock” to “cuddle rock” will put on a pretty killer show. (You have to love how creative these genres are getting nowadays.)
JULY 8-10: WEST SEATTLE SUMMER FEST 2016
West Seattle Junction // All Day // Free // All Ages
West Seattle is holding their annual Summer Fest and this year’s lineup features some of our favorite artists including Tacocat, Grace Love & The True Loves, Chastity Belt, Hobosexual, Draemhouse, and more! Go listen to great music, eat some great food, and bask in the Seattle summer glory.
Neumos // 8 PM // $8 ADV // 21+
For all of you Sub Pop fans like myself, this is a show you won’t want to miss! A bunch of great local bands will be covering classics from our favorite Sub Pop bands. The bands include American Island, Sebastian and the Deep Blue, bod, Scott Yoder, TELLERS, The Good Wives, Tinfoil and Tape, and Eastern Souvenirs. Not the best, but pretty good, am I right? (Just in case that wasn’t clear, that was a Sub Pop slogan joke. I actually love the lineup. 10/10.)
The Crocodile // $12 ADV // 8 PM // All Ages
If you’re not 21+, fear not, we’ve still got you covered! Another great artist is in town: New-York-based artist, Mitski. She’ll be gracing the stage along with special guests, Japanese Breakfast and Jay Som.
JULY 15: SLOUCHER’S ALBUM RELEASE PARTY
Rancho Bravo // 6 PM // Free // All Ages
Tacos, burritos, and a fantastic album release—what could be better? Nothing. The answer is nothing. Rancho Bravo may honestly turn into one of my favorite venues? Sloucher is relatively new band with members who all come from well-developed PNW bands like Makeup Monsters, Hibou, The Globes, and bod. They’ve released two songs from their new album, Certainty, but I can’t wait to hear the album in its entirety while eating 50 tacos.
JULY 22-24: CAPITOL HILL BLOCK PARTY
Capitol Hill (1122 E Pike St.) // Times Vary // Ticket Prices Vary // All Ages (with some 21+ stages)
This is arguably the biggest Capitol Hill event of the summer. This year’s lineup consists of an excellently curated pool of local and national talents including ODESZA, CHVRCHES, The Cave Singers, NAO, Thunderpussy, Iska Dhaaf, and more. We’re super stoked to see some of our favorite local bands on the lineup, too!
