  1 0 My friend Garrett has this little home recording project that i don't even think has a name. It's all really Motown-inspired soul/pop songs. He plays and records it all himself. I've had one of the songs stuck in my head for about 6 months. It's so great and joyous and fun. I think everyone i know who has heard it loves it as well. I've been trying to talk him into playing a show for ages now. Hopefully he'll get a band together and you'll be seeing him at the Croc before the fall is over.

I'm not kidding. I hope he plays a show soon. Just gently nudge him into one and, if it goes poorly, deny involvement afterwards. Or, be a pal and give him the ole, "Better luck next time, Champ" talk, instead. Either way, it would be great to share somehow. what1017 commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I forwarded him this little exchange so hopefully that will get him moving...;) Eli Anderson commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Wowza, I hope it works. I'll hold my breath, maybe? Or, do something less difficult, but still in the spirit of anticipation!--even if that said "something" is merely anticipating an upcoming show. Yes. That counts, I think. And you didn't even have to threaten, yet. You are a pal, indeed. what1017 commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question New comments are not being accepted at this time.

  1 0 Ruby Von Monster. It's one guy; he never plays out, but is absurdly prolific and stylistically diverse. His music is seriously strange and often disturbing. He was on MySpace [http://www.myspace.com/rubyvonmonstersound], but that site appears to have vanished. Damn. I've contacted him to see what's up. Another band who haunt Seattle's underground peripheries are Yokai No Uta, who are pals with Are you a cat? Hear some of their music here: http://www.myspace.com/yokaisound And, despite my best efforts, Are you a cat? themselves still remain relatively obscure.

  0 0 The newish band called Grenades is really promising. They've only played something like 3-4 shows. Three dudes from Kane Hodder with Brian Turner from Schoolyard Heroes. Brian is a great drummer. Heavy stuff--you might like it even if you weren't into Schoolyard or Hodder. You can download a free three-song sampler here: http://grenades.bandcamp.com/ I also like Whitney Ballen--she plays at the Old Fire House in Redmond pretty regularly, but hardly ever here in Seattle. And Thousands is good dreamy acoustic stuff.

  0 0 The Color Bars! They were based in Seattle for a few years but in viewing their Myspace page, I see they have recently moved to Brooklyn. Figures. They make really rad weirdo-pop (think Beach Boys meets Of Montreal produced by late-90's Beck, maybe?) ... I have never met anybody who has ever heard of them before, yet my top fave album for 2007 was their "Kairos at Infinity" ...And there were a lot of really good albums that year! http://myspace.com/thecolorbars It doesn't help that they haven't updated their web page in a couple years, all of the e-mail addresses on the site come back undeliverable, they were supposed to release their new album last summer and as far as I can tell they never did, and up until very recently they hadn't signed into Myspace for over a year... yet I see even now they have a couple shows coming up so clearly they are still together. I guess that explains why nobody has ever heard of them, but still, totally excellent band for serious.

  0 0 Magic MTN - new band that is basically Grant Olsen from Arthur & Yu backed by the Moondoggies. I am obviously biased, but it is really terrific. I love it so much it hurts. They are opening for the Moondoggies May 20th at Neumos. I saw a band called Pony Time at the Wild Rose on Saturday and thought they were pretty great.
