Love as Laughter’s Sam Jayne’s relocation to N.Y.C. was a huge loss for Seattle, so his arrival back in town is always cause for celebration. This time around, he’s on the bill opening for American Apparel–approved, circus-sideshow indie rockers Man Man, along with the Kirk Huffman (Kay Kay and his Weathered Underground)– led Wild Orchid Children—a Beastie Boys/Hendrix/Menomena/and-a-whole-lot-more hybrid—which leaves little excuse for not welcoming him home in person. With Druid Flower.

Listen to Man Man’s “Black Missino Goggles.”
