DJ/promoter Franki Chan cut his teeth in Seattle, booking fun, scrappy shows at the Graceland (now El Corazon) and debauched afterparties at the infamous Egg Room. Hes since relocated to LA, started the club night Check Yo Ponytail, and now that night comes to Seattle as a tour featuring four disparate high-profile party monsters. Theres Pictureplanes noisy, lo-fi rave pop manifestos, Big Freedias queered-up New Orleans bounce music, the Death Sets sneering boombox cassette punk rock (and flippantly destructive live show), and the smart-mouthed party rap of Spank Rock, back after several years of relative silence with new album Everything is Boring and Everyone is a Fucking Liar. Whatever your dancing agendaslam, booty, or ironic liquid energy ballCheck Yo Ponytail provides. ERIC GRANDY
