Always Tired- consignment (2010) from Carlos LOPEZ on Vimeo.Consignment, with Pretty Birds That Kill, Mark Sparkles. Comet Tavern, 922 E. Pike St., 323-9853. 8 p.m. $5. Seattle’s Consignment kicks crusty, lo-fi jams and records them to cassette. Though the sound quality is about as low as lo-fi can get before descending into indecipherability, the music underneath all that hissing and popping actually benefits from the fuzz factor — think Velvet Underground’s “Run Run Run”. Carlos Lopez, a member of similar local outfit Scraps, directed the video for one of the band’s newer tracks, “Always Tired.” The video, like the song, is about a guy suffering from perpetual exhaustion who keeps nodding off standing upright — a relatable state of being for anyone who’s ever endured a Seattle winter. Even if you’re not on board with the whole tape re-renaissance, it’s worth breaking out the old boom box to listen to these guys. SARA BRICKNER
