KELLY O
THE CATHETERS

• Eugenie Jones sounded like old-fashioned jazz magic at Columbia City's Royal Room last Friday night, except for the less-magic moment when she explained what Kickstarter is from the stage. Her new recording, Black Lace Blue Tears, is available online (along with her Kickstarter).

• On Saint Patrick's Day on Sunday, we couldn't help but notice there was only a SINGLE green-and-white Cat in the Hat hat spotted in all of Belltown, and only two instances of shamrock-shaped glasses in all three stories of the downtown Target. Step it up, Seattle, step it up.

• The second annual Balkan Night Northwest started off on Friday night at the Russian Community Center. Revelers of all ages celebrated the food, music, and culture of Southeast Europe—a swelling circle of dancers rotated to the music pumped out by several live bands, including the bass-and-drum ensemble Orkestar Zirkonium. The highlight of the evening was when the jubilant cook sprang from the kitchen and performed a mock striptease with his apron.

• The Catheters played the Stranger's Penumbra bash on Saturday at King's Hall, and they killed it—proving that sometimes you can take an eight- or nine-year break and start right back up, as long as there's enough beer present.
