We spent part of our weekend at an awesome DIY rock festival (more on that later), which makes us especially amped for this "trailer" for Pizza Fest 2011 another killer annual DIY festival held at The Funhouse. A three night festival this year on August 4th - 6th, Pizza Fest is all about partying and [...]

The Beets, German Measles & Coconut Coolouts at the Funhouse, Seattle | 30 April 2010 New York's ramshackle, frumpy party scene visited the Funhouse on Friday night for some debauchery, good times and music. Seattle's Coconut Coolouts played hosts, opening the night with their version Pacific Northwest garage party rock. The Coolouts have boiled party rock down to a science of two stand-up drummers, Bruno Kirby on keyboards, a primal stomp and some well chosen covers. It seems [...]

The 2009 REVERBfest will take over Ballard on Sat Oct 3rd, filling 10 neighborhood venues (including 4 all-ages) many of which, like The Sunset and Hattie's Hat, are Ballard institutions while others, like the Salmon Bay Eagles Club and New York Fashion Academy are transforming themselves just for the event. The nice thing is that all of the venues are in the heart of old Ballard which makes it simple to hop from place to place and catch all your favorites. . Now, I know it's a pretty big claim, but I [...]
On October 3rd, Seattle Weekly's REVERBFest will make it's glorious return to shake the mortar from Ballard's historic buildings.

Is this not the damned show of the summer or what?? It's like they took each "reason I would go to a show" and combined them together to make a bill that is untouchable! Promoters take note... THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE. The only thing that could make this show any better would be filling Johnny Brendas with sand, giving everyone in the place squirt-guns and having a margarita machine at the merch-booth. Next time? To get you further stoked, check out Coconut Coolouts massive hit and a new track from Vile's forth-coming [...]

-When you're Lenny Kravitz, who needs a swank South Beach pad when you work here?? Kravitz is the proprietor of a 2,500 square foot, state of the art recording studio...a magical realm where signatures sign themselves apparently. -Figure out your NPR name . -I love reading the highly creative, often repetitive, constantly reinvented (they are all "formerly" something else) names of bands performing at The Smell . Do the [...]
It sure is a gorgeous Monday! How else are you going to celebrate that, than with a rad show at the Sunset? I was introduced to Dreamdate, known as "East Bay pop sensations" by friends a few weeks ago, and found them to be perfectly up my alley, with two female singers harmonizing and a laid back poppy/punky beat. They seem straight out of the mid-90's, and that makes me very happy. read more

Here ya go, something for the weekend. It's the March installment of the the Finest Kiss Basementcast. If this is going to become a regular thing, I guess I should get a theme song and some back ground music for the talking parts. A real microphone might be nice too, one of those big foamy ones would be perfect. Maybe I should get some advertisers too. Naah, I kind of like the furnace as my background noise, at least until I sell out. basementcast : download [...]

The Intelligence, Coconut Coolouts and Idle Times at the Sunset | 26 December 2008 The last few weeks the emerald city has been crippled by constant snow. City leaders have considered rechristening Seattle the albino city. Not only has it been a battle to get to work, but a whole bunch of shows have been canceled because of the white stuff as well. Finally the it has started to melt away, like the novelty it was met with. So the Sunset was packed last night with people dying for a [...]
Listening: 1. Coconut Coolouts : Pizza loving Seattle party rockers play a hybrid Hawaiian party surf rock. Listen to: (Please Don't Break me out of) Party Jail ( mp3 ) 2. Egon's Unicat - There music straight forward pshyco rock, but their lead singer, Sean Patrick, is a show stopper. Jumping on tables, swinging a lead pipe, doing the splits... insane! 3. Bakers at Dawn : Marcus Sjoland is a Swedish musician who creates beautiful music. Bakers at Dawn wants his music to sound either like a cold rock wrapped up in [...]
Coconut Coolouts – "Party Time Machine" (Haunted Horse Blasting out party punk with dancey elements is always a difficult trick. Do it right, and you've got the best garage band ever (at least that's what your friends will say). Do it wrong, and the album is straight to the closeout bin. Basically, ...

The Coconut Coolouts are a Seattle garage rock band comprised by a "Ex members of bands that went nowhere." "Party Jail" is the type of rock track perfect for a Friday. One word of advice, while "Party Jail" sounds like loads of fun, in reality, the drunk tank is not really fun at all.
