Line Out - Comments on Beach House needs a Seattle gig! http://lineout.thestranger.com/2006/09/beach_house_needs_a Big bummer man! I just found out that my favorite new band, Beach House, has no Seattle gig scheduled during their upcomming West Coast tour. Beach House, the Maryland duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, will release their eponymous...

The record is sublime. I'm currently pimping them to all my friends who pull those kind of strings.

I have emailed almost every single live music venue in the city and so far have been able to come up with precisely jack shit :(

I wish your review had come out two months ago.

That's too bad. Maybe something will come up- if not, off to stump town.

I have not received a "no" yet from two of the venues I contacted. The venues are Nectar and Mars Bar. Anybody know the bookers at either of these veunes and want to try convince them to do it?

Please keep trying. If you haven't already attempted to contact the group, they're pretty active on myspace.

Another thought I had was to rent out the Jewel Box at the Rendezvous, and jsut promote the show myself.

For now, keep your fingers crossed, and if anyone finds them a home for 11/10 let me know, so i can find something ewlse to do while I should be working.

Hopefully between the three of us we'll get them a show here! They are touring with label mates Over The Atlantic, so if we could add them to a bill with one or two local bands that have a draw, that would be ideal. But I'm sure they would be happy with whatever they could get at this point (and I'd be happy to see them anywhere, with anyone).

I like the Jewel Box at Rendevouz idea. Do they only rent it, or might they book the show themselves? (so you don't have to shell out any cash). Either way, I'll help spread the word all I can.

Btw, there are some good blurbs about Beach House on Pitchfork that you can use to help convince any potential bookers/venues. Just go to www.pitchforkmedia.com and do a search for them.

Godspeed gentlemen...godspeed.
