Recently, we've had a little bit of a crush on a couple of bands coming out of Ecuador. Perhaps it's our thirst to explore unknown (to us) musical landscapes, but there's something extraordinarily vigilant about Vírgenes Violadoras, Cadáver Exquisito and Can Can that surges straight from the idiosyncratic. Unlike most of the relatively big scenes in Iberoameirca, Ecuador has yet to stamp a national band into the indie consciousness, and that's quite refreshing. Our favorite rock albums of the year ( Futura Vía, Odio París, Tan Bajo ) are pop-induced records dressed in fuzzy noise, so when a band like [...]

After a long hiatus, the Ballroom Book Bash is back! A Cappella Books and the Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge are again joining forces to bring you one of the coolest events in town. This is where we "discovered" Bernadette Seacrest when she started an evening that featured Atlanta's own Karen Abbott (also an alum of our little northeastern college) reading from her New York Times bestseller, Sin in the Second City . [...]

I got to see Judson Claiborne for two nights in Seattle. And you didn't. If I sound a bit like a child brandishing my ice cream cone while you have none, well… this is how I felt after hearing this Chicago-based group play both the Can Can at Pike Place and The Sunset Tavern in Ballard. Remarkably, both shows were sparsely attended. Whether this was due to weather or the weeknight, it didn't matter; the music they shared felt like a treat just for me. [...]
The Coathangers, Can Can and Judi Chicago play the Earl tonight

Can Can - Widowmaker Can Can - Boreska Mines Picture a group of angsty 15-year-olds who have all just purchased 60-dollar guitars from Wal-Mart, a plastic drum set to match, and karaoke microphones. Now imagine throwing all of them into a basement, starting a mosh pit, flinging all of the instruments around, and telling them to scream random things. That experience might be close to what will happen when you listen to All Hell by Can Can. All Hell [...]
Tomorrow night at the Earl, several local bands host a benefit for John Henderson, the bartender who was murdered during a robbery in Jan. at the Standard on Memorial Dr.

Now you most probably got word from the Stranger about who's coming to the Showbox this month, and KEXP concert listings let you in on who's hitting the stage at Neumos, but you might not know is who's a regular at the Can Can or that the Bit Saloon is rockin the windows out on a regular basis these days. Seattle is speckled with great little stages tucked into the backs of bars and pubs. And you'd be amazed at the quality of the performances happening in some of Seattle's lesser known joints. I have a quick list here of [...]
