Kylesa to Rock Seattle Next Month
I have a hard time finding shows I want to attend in Seattle. Sometimes I just don’t know where to look; sometimes I forget to look. Often, however, it’s because there aren’t any. But here’s one—a very good one. (It’s a little in advance, but I’m excited. I’ll post a reminder when the date gets closer.)
Kylesa are playing Monday, February 5, at Chop Suey, 8:00 p.m., $10 adv, 21+ (with the Hidden Hand, Wino, Middian, and Slave Traitor).
Kylesa’s newest LP, Time Will Fuse Its Worth, came out at the end of October. I haven’t heard it yet (I’m slow in the record-buying department), but I did just listen to an MP3 from the album on their website: Upon first listen, I deem it pretty damn good. Also, the band’s guitarist/vocalist Laura Pleasants did the record’s beautiful artwork and layout. I didn’t like their last LP, 2005’s To Walk A Middle Course, as much as their previous stuff, but, whatever, that happens sometimes. I love the rest of their records—they play excellent sludgy, metally, crusty punk rock (and some of the band members used to be in Damad).
Comments
it's Hidden Hand (featuring Wino). dude was in the Obsessed and St Vitus.
Three cheers for Wino! This show is going to be incredible.
Kim, you're my new favourite Stranger writer. I was tearing my hair out wondering if Kylesa were going to come to Seattle any time soon. The new record is awesome, I definitely think it's an improvement on what they were trying to do with the last record. It's just unfortunate that this show is at Chop Suey. When I saw them last time they were here (with Big Business, Akimbo, and Doomsday 1999) there must have been 50 people at El Corazon. I'd love to see them play a lounge show at El Corazon, or somewhere more intimate and suited to them.
