The Rural Alberta Advantage Sunset Tavern	Mon., July 6, 9:00pm	Ballard	Music
Take a look at any review of The Rural Alberta Advantage's debut, Hometowns, and the ready-made witticism “what's the advantage to living in Rural Alberta?”; is sure to pop up. It doesn't seem that the proud Albertans mind the question; rather, they invite and attempt to answer it... More >>

Mantic Ritual El Corazon	Tue., July 7, 7:00pm	Eastlake & South Lake Union	Music
Let’s set the record straight: as much as famous metal musicians would have us believe otherwise, the rise of Nirvana did not precipitate the demise of thrash metal, the thrilling heavy metal sub-genre launched by Metallica, Exodus, Megadeth, and Slayer. Most likely, the music’s... More >>

Cracker Crocodile	Tue., July 7, 8:00pm	Belltown	Music
In 1990, when the legendary Camper Van Beethoven broke up, it must’ve seemed inconceivable that singer/guitarist David Lowery would ever front a band as initially straight ahead-sounding as Cracker. Where Camper was known for its zany, offbeat wit and rollicking stage presentation,... More >>

Girl in a Coma El Corazon	Fri., July 10, 8:00pm	Eastlake & South Lake Union	Music
It’s quite fitting that Joan Jett and Morrissey were both instantly impressed by Girl In A Coma. (Jett signed them; Morrissey invited them to open for him.) Like both of those icons, Girl In A Coma keeps one foot planted in crunching punk-n-roll and the other in dreamy pop. The difference:... More >>

Pterodactyl Comet Tavern	Fri., July 10, 8:00pm	Capitol Hill	Music
Bass-less Brooklyn trio Pterodactyl don’t waste any time before tearing into flinty, precision psych rock worthy of Oneida, to whose Brah Records imprint the band is signed. Swarming with spitfire guitars and overactive drumming, every song is a mad jumble of off-kilter warbling and... More >>

The Slackers El Corazon	Sat., July 11, 7:00pm	Eastlake & South Lake Union	Music
Ska is one of those musical genres that hasn't changed much in the last two decades. Sure, there are variations within the genre itself. Some ska bands are punk-influenced, while others carry a heavy reggae beat; some bands feature a near-orchestra of backing horn players and feature only a... More >>

Robin Pecknold Neumos	Sat., July 11, 8:00pm	Capitol Hill	Music
If Fleet Foxes represents the post-Napster generation’s reclamation and reimagining of wide eyed 60’s folk mysticism and the lyrical American pastoral, FF frontman Robin Pecknold is the thing itself. Functioning as a living fakebook of classic American folk-rock, Pecknold’s solo... More >>

Azure Ray Neumos	Sun., July 12, 8:00pm	Capitol Hill	Music
The opening lyrics of "November," the title track of Azure Ray's 2002 EP, have been weirdly prophetic for the the dreamy, lyrical pop duo. "So I'm waiting for this test to end/so these lighter days can soon begin/ 'll be alone but maybe more carefree/Like a kite that floats so effortlessly/ I... More >>

Shemekia Copeland Dimitriou's Jazz Alley	Tue., July 7, 7:30pm more dates/times	Belltown	Music
While it’s definitely a pleasure to listen to the recently released Never Going Back, or the handful of other discs Shemekia Copeland’s put out over the past decade, they only hint at the dynamic voice and compelling presence the 30-year-old Harlem-born soul/blues powerhouse brings to... More >>

The Gourds Tractor Tavern	Wed., July 8, 9:00pm more dates/times	Ballard	Music
House party novelty jams, especially those soaked in roots-rock twang, have never totally appealed to me – too corny. Yet there’s no denying “Gin and Juice,” the opening track off the Gourds’ 2001 album Shinebox. Lyrics don’t get any raunchier than these: “Two... More >>

Buddha Belltown Buddha Belltown	Daily, 12:00pm	Belltown	Music
I celebrated my 23rd birthday by getting plastered, flailing about to Billy Idol, and then dumping my boyfriend of two years via text message. I woke up the next morning hungover, single, and thoroughly ashamed of myself. But that unpleasant experience hasn’t deterred me from frequenting... More >>
