Tonight Tonight in Music
posted by on January 19 at 9:30 AM
Tonight, Electric Avenue, the new weekly night at CHAC kicks off with DJs Jacob London, DJ Recess, and DJ Swank. Read about the event in this week’s Data Breaker.
Or you could head down to Tacoma to catch Patient Patient at the new all-ages venue, the Junkyard.
Also playing tonight, the Black Lips, who promise not to pee on you, and Stephen Malkmus, who’s 40 and still practicing good dental hygiene.
But maybe comedy is more your thing:
NEIL HAMBURGER, PLEASEEASAUR
(Sunset, late) As you probably well know by now, Neil Hamburger has essentially one joke—a joke that he mines so relentlessly that its individual words cease to carry any meaning. That joke, of course, is that the jokes aren’t funny. And that they will never be funny. So why, after over a decade of meager notoriety and presumably dwindling interest, does Hamburger continue to tour, release records, exist? (Perhaps a better question is just why his record label, Drag City, continues to support this strange habit.) Because that’s the joke, isn’t it? And what kind of comedian would he be if he didn’t see it through to the punch line? ZAC PENNINGTON
anyone know anything about Mickey Avalon and the Dislysic Speedreaders?
they are playing tonight at the Last Supper Club....

Need some advice:
I want to go to the Avail show at Hells Kitchen tonight, but have to drive down from Port Angeles. I don't get off of work until 5-ish, and Doors open at 6. Figuring it'll take me 2-2.5 hours to get there; will I be able to make it in time for the last two bands?
Take your time. You can use calculators but please show your work or you will not receive full credit.
I don't know about Hell's Kitchen specifically, but usually allowing an hour after doors is a safe bet. I'm guessing first band starts at 7, you get there at 7:30, no problem.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was wondering. I haven't been to Hells Kitchen and was wondering if they were a right-on-time kind of place (seeing as they have a show scheduled at 10:00 tonight also). Thanks for the response.
I mostly just want to see Avail and check out The Draft (as I was a fan of Hot Water Music).
And that's what I'm thinking. Exciting, no?
I'm heading to Tacoma on Sunday for the Iamthethorn show, but I'm tempted to go down for this one too. I had forgotten about it... strangely. I haven't seen the Draft yet, but I like a few of the songs on their album (some of them, though, just feel painfully mediocre after further listening). But I hear they sound great live. If you catch their set, I'd be interested to hear what ya thought.
you could also head down to pdx to catch claude von stroke (@ holocene), who isn't coming through seattle.
