a storm electric
The Polyphonic Spree is at the Commodore on July 13th. No matter what the guy in the white robe says, don't drink the kool-aid.
In addition to their show at the Lamp on Friday, They Shoot Horses, Don't They? are celebrating their album release early (it's not out until June 5th) on Saturday with a show at Hoko's.
The schedule for Music Waste is up now on Facebook (and probably on the website soon). After taking all of 20 seconds to look at the line up, I humbly point to Secret Mommy at the Royal Unicorn on the 7th, Bison at the Royal Unicorn on 8th, and Ghosthouse with the National Shield at Hoko's on the 9th as highlights.
Speaking of Music Waste, they're having a fundraiser on Friday at the Emergency Room (821 E. Hastings - back alley entrance) with Art Rose Aujourd'hui and Stuffed Animals.
Three Inches of Blood are at Richard's on June 28th with Bison and Jaws.
Crowded House are at Orpheum with Pete Yorn on September 3rd.
Simon from Jump+Dash emailed me to let me know about some shows that they've got coming up. On May 31st they're on a bill at the Lamp with Fury and the Mouse, Vonnegut Dollhouse, and Transylvanian Polka. And on June 22nd they're headlining a show at Hoko's with Hey Everyone and Trembling.
Simon's also slinging bass for Abernethy, who are at the Railway with the Battles (note the "the") and Bells Clanging on May 23rd.
The Sadies are opening for the Hip.
now playing: Wilco - Hate it Here

I made it down to the Lamplighter last night to see the National Frost (thank Lauren for the invite). I was really into the instrumental side of the band, but the singer didn't really do it for me. They sort of sound like some other more well known large indie rock ensembles, but the vocals just seem a bit out of place to me. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to separate yourself from the crowd, but I just wasn't into the finished product. I have to say though, I'm all for more bands with saxophones that aren't ska bands.

From the Mint Records website:
"On Saturday, June 16th, may we suggest stopping by the Ukrainian Hall (805 E. Pender St.) for an Immaculate CD release party? Victoria Victoria and Meat Draw shall begin the all ages evening's festivities."
I think you can guess who the headliner is, no? ;-)
