Reverb Fest is this Saturday in Ballard. It's not just in Ballard, it actually takes over Ballard, going off simultaneously in 10 different venues all within about three blocks of one another. Reverb is not just like any other of onslaught of festivals we seem to get around these parts. What's the difference? Every band playing has to be a card carrying resident of Seattle, and it's cheap.

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.

Now, I know it's a pretty big claim, but I [...]

Almost doomed by money woes ("must be the economy"), the Georgetown Musicfest was able to escape death this year by teaming up with a Seattle Weekly event known as Artopia . That's a clever name. I'd never heard of it until a few months ago, but apparently they had one last year and it also takes place in South Seattle's industrious enclave. Who knew? . Anyhoo, the joint shindig goes down this Saturday the 27th (74 and partly cloudy, people) with [...]
