Awkward Question: John Wolf

Posted by Kristen Blush on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 3:59 PM

"What was it like touching tongues with Benny Hills!?"

"Like touching all of the other guys tongues in Capitol Hill. Ha ha, Ben and I both freaked out and wiped our tongues off right after!"

Benny's memory will forever be cherished by all who knew him. Rest in peace, friend. You meant the world to all of us. Benny was featured in "Awkward Question" in September. Memorial concerts will be held this weekend at Central and Comet.

Raveonettes at Neumos

Posted by Matt Hickey on Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 3:27 PM

The Raveonettes played Neumos this weekend. The smoke and light show was amazing but maybe a little much. In general like to see the band I'm hearing.

Awkward Question: Mike McGinn

Posted by Kristen Blush on Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 12:56 PM

"Hi Mike! What is one of your favorite Seattle groups or bands?"

"Ha, wow!? Of all time or current? Well, I really like what the Blue Scholars are doing. I had the opportunity to meet Geo outside of the club scene and he really impressed me."

awkwardMcGinn.jpg

I told Mike that I recently read on Line Out that our local heartthrob Sabzi (of Blue Scholars) has moved to New York. He seemed impressed with Sabzi too and wished him well in his new city. Good luck, Mike McGinn and Saba!

Pictures from Friday's Zombie McLeod Residence Party

Posted by Matt Hickey on Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 2:49 PM

It had been 364 days since McLeod Residence closed its doors for the last time. It went out with a bang. The reunion party was in memory of the old space. It was excellent, if not eerie.

"HA! No. He's like the nicest family man I know!"

Sharlese, DJ at KEXP, was spinning Dr. Dre the other night at Lofi. She knows how to get a party started!

Awkward Question: P Smoov

Posted by Kristen Blush on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 1:02 PM

"Peter, How do you have time for shagging all those groupies and doing hella blow if you're making new tunes?"

"It's about time management. I give out little tickets with numbers...like the DMV."

Awkward2.jpg

Peter, AKA P Smoov, is the producer, composer, MC, singer and engineer in local hip hop group MAD RAD.

MAD RAD is performing this Friday night with Champagne Champagne at the War Room, in Capitol Hill. Hopefully they will find Beatles costumes and bring sexy back! This is going to be the most crackin party between now and the end of the year. I wouldn't miss it!

Trail of Dead with Future of the Left at Neumos

Posted by Matt Hickey on Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 2:44 PM

It was loud and it was fun. Sure, both bands have played here recently, but not together. That was kind of the magic.

Awkward Question : The Blakes

Posted by Kristen Blush on Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 8:51 AM

"Remember Jenni's loft party you were at like three years ago? Do ya remember that crazy girl who ran out in her Pajamas and kicked all 15 of you out of the bathroom?"

"Oh my god, that was you, wasn't it?!!!"

"Uh, yeah. What the heck were all of you doing in there? I was cleaning foot prints off the shower walls for days."

"Yeeeaaaahhhhh, sorry 'bout that."

The Blakes kicked off their three-month tour at Neumos the other night!

"What is that smell!?! Gross!"
"It's F@#! CRAZY!"

Benny was referring to the Decibel Festival crowd on Friday night. It was crazy, yes. A lot of dancing and loud music filling the air.

Monotonix at Neumos

Posted by Matt Hickey on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 2:33 PM

Attention rock bands: This is something you should be doing. Attention people: If you've never been to a Monotonix show then you're missing out on one of the greatest things to happen to live music in awhile.

Awkward Question: Chase Jarvis

Posted by Kristen Blush on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 7:35 AM

"Chase, I noticed you have many large lenses and big lights in your studio. Are you compensating for anything?"

"Ha, no, I just need long lenses to do what I do."

_ChaseIMG_3861.jpg

...It's true, he does! Chase told me about his recent trip to New Zealand where he flew around in a helicopter and photographed pro-skiers. (Awesome!)

Chase hosted a party at his Wallingford studio on Friday night, with musical performances and yummy snacks and beverages. Another event that Chase is known for hosting is the "Songs For Eating and Drinking" that has featured local musicians such as Blue Scholars, Fences, The Saturday Knights and Mad Rad.

Get Up Kids: "Thanks for Still Giving a Shit"

Posted by Megan Seling on Sat, Sep 19, 2009 at 5:53 PM

The Get Up Kids are back. Last night, in front of a packed house at Neumos, they played nearly every track from the 1999 classic Something to Write Home About, and few favorites from Four Minute Mile, On a Wire, and Guilt Show. And early on in the set they also slipped in a new song called "Keith Case," implying that this reunion tour is more than just a temporary regrouping to celebrate the anniversary of their anthemic emo classic.

But as exciting as it is that they have a new song (and even more exciting that it didn't suck, appealing to their anthemic pop sensibilities more than their boring last record Guilt Show), last night was about last decade—everyone in the room wanted to hear the classics, and they proved it by singing along to every word of every song they played. I could barely hear singer Matt Pryor over the choir of voices that filled the room, and in many cases he gave up on singing altogether, letting the crowd take the lead during many of the choruses. It was incredible and so much fun. It was classic Get Up Kids.

  • Alex Crick
Towards the end of the show, guitarist Jim Suptic perfectly summed up the evening (and perhaps this entire reunion) thusly: "Thanks for still giving a shit." Should they decide to record again, I think that should be the name of the next record.




The setlist:

"Holiday"
"I'm a Loner Dottie, a Rebel..."
"The One You Want"
"Valentine"
"Coming Clean"
"Woodson"
"Overdue"
"Keith Case" (new song)
"Red Letter Day"
"No Love"
"Off the Wagon"
"Campfire Kansas"
"Holy Roman"
"Mass Pike"
"Beer for Breakfast"
"Action & Action"
"Walking on a Wire"

Encore:
"Out of Reach"
"Close to Me" (Cure cover)
"Don't Hate Me"
"Ten Minutes"

(A couple more photos after the jump.)
