Only in the past few months did I fall in love with Bellingham’s Cicadas—gnarly, spiraling instrumental tunes with blistering basslines and scary-fast drums. And now the fuckers are breaking up. I could’ve made you stars, dudes. STARS.

But at least I’ll get to see them, if only once, before they call it quits.

They’re playing tonight at the Blue Moon Tavern in the U-District, and I have it on good authority that the band puts on an enthralling live show. Here’s the only evidence I could find online, but the band’s far to furious and fast for a point and shoot video camera so it just sounds like a swamp filled with exploding robots.

Then again, even if they suck, you won’t lose any money as it is—as all Blue Moon shows are—totally free.

Rad Touch (featuring Party Crasher, Line Out poster, Fall Out Boy hater Jeff Kirby) are also playing.

Rad Touch sounds like this.

Thanks for the (few) memories, Cicadas. If only we had met sooner.
