Upcoming / Love The Seattle Band Incest Map

Posted by Eric Grandy on Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 3:03 PM

Oh god. KEXP staffer and member of Partman Parthorse and Butts Rachel Ratner has put together a map of Seattle bands' musical incest. Here's a small corner of it (click to enlarge):

The full 60 sq ft map will be on display at Cairo Gallery on Nov 20th as part of that weekend's Expo '87 festival. The story behind the whole thing is here. Remember to always use pick guards and purell your hands, people.

Lame. A flow chart of Fastbacks drummers alone would be more thorough than this lazy piece of shit.

Rachel's endeavor to document the vast and disparate number of musicians in the Seattle music community -- present and past -- is an engaging and all-around awesome project. I know the work has been undertaken with the spirit of discovery, collaboration and, um, imperfection in mind (shame on you who can only offer negativity to such a project!). I can't wait to see the work-in-progress next weekend and learn more about Seattle's friendly cousin-kissing music scene!

Clicking on the map/chart doesn't enlarge it. Help?

I can't wait to see it. Rachel and Keith did a rad job :)

The Gories were from Detroit, not Seattle. It should be The Trashies, not The Thrashies. I don't think anyone from The Valentine Killers was in The Intelligence. Other than that, I love stuff like this. An electronic version like Grunnenrocks would be awesome.

Thanks for your feedback everyone! - I’m making a revised map - email me any corrections/missing bands (and come to Cairo this weekend and draw your own) and they'll be included in the next version (which will be fully downloadable)! rachel@kexp.org
