Spitting distance (possibly literally) from the annual free-for-all folk/world/filthy hippie festival that is Folklifegunfire free since 2009!venerable Seattle punk dive the Funhouse offers some welcome counterprogramming this weekend in the form of its Punk Life Festival. Headlining tonights show are Partman Parthorse, a local four-piece whose grinding punk grooves and sneering vocals, delivered by clothing-averse, confrontation-friendly frontman Gary Smith, are ruder than opening fire on a drum circleand even more fun. Plus, the Funhouse is 21+, so theres no face-painted brats underfoot fucking up the circle pit. With The House That Ian Dugas Built, Monogamy Party, Poop Attack, Mother’s Anger. ERIC GRANDY
