Team GinaFriday:Three words: West Seattle Summerfest. It’s free, bands like Mudhoney and Mark Pickerel and Team Gina are playing, and it’s going to take place outside in the sunshine tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. Everything starts at 10 a.m. tomorrow and 11 a.m. Sunday.Here’s one for the ladies– and the gentlemen, and everyone in-between who likes to wear their jammies in public. Thee Satisfaction and Canary Sing, the best female MCs in this metropolis, are playing a show at the Jewelbox tonight that starts at 10 p.m. and costs $5 IF you show up in pajamas. Oh, and as Jonathan noted on his earlier blog about this show,Thee Satisfaction and Canary Sing are actually performing onstage TOGETHER, which should be even cooler. Saturday:One of my all-time favorite local bands, the Blood Red Dancers, will be at the Blue Moon Tavern at 10 p.m., for $5, with the Royal Bear and Paris Spleen. Blood Red Dancers are a three-piece who play trippy, Gothic blues music with no, I repeat, NO guitars– just bass, organ (ok, it’s actually a keyboard that just sounds ilke an organ) and drums. Listen for five minutes and you will love this band forever and ever. They are playing with Punk rock band Thee Emergency and indie rap MC Astronautalis are playing a free– yes, FREE– show at the Nectar tomorrow night. Both of these artists make excellent, if very different, music, and neither of them should ever have to play for free, so I suggest you take advantage of this rare opportunity. It starts at 9 p.m.If you like rockabilly and surf music, here’s a good one at a venue you might not have known about: Hard Money Saints, Black Crabs and Banzai Surf play the Shanty Tavern Saturday night at 9 p.m., for $5.
