As per Eric’s recommendation, you should really go see Matmos at the Triple Door tonight. Especially since the Sounders have the night off. (And the Mariners are playing an away game.)

Oh, I know what you’re thinking: How much overlap can there be between sports fans and devotees of “bourgie laptop homos”? Plenty, according to band member MC Schmidt. The duo had to re-route part of their recent European tour because important football matches fell on the same dates as their concerts:

“We [originally] had different shows booked in Italy, but most of them were cancelled, because people love football—soccer, that is—so much that no one goes to concerts during the football games. I thought it was just us, but our manager was telling us about Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was playing a show with 3,000 capacity— and apparently 450 people returned their tickets when Italy won some stage of the European Cup. And he had to cancel the show. It’s hard to imagine from an American perspective, but people who love football are the people who love weird music here.”
