Sun. Feb. 1st 2009 - Man Party @ Sunset Tavern

Man Party, Furniture Girls and H is for Hellgate
Superbowl Sunday bloody sunday at the Sunset Tavern Feb. 1 '09

Openers, electro dance floor gods, Man Party bumped and shimmied their way around the stage, finally getting the crowd rallied by the end of their set. Seriously, for your next house party get these cats to do their thing and it will be legendary... Warning: must be into vocoders...

H is for
Hellgate bass player extrordinare Ben, finds a way to trick me into giving him a hair cut in front of the bar, before their set. He and the band head out on a couple weeks worth of shows down south later this week. Be ready California!

Sat. Jan. 17th 2009 - Jase Lindgren @ Kell's Irish Pub

Jase Lindgren (cd release), Josh and Anand, Denelian
Jan. 17th 2009 @ Kells Irish Pub, Seattle

The upstairs of Kell's Irish Pub was packed with over 80 eager fans Sat. Jan. 17th to celebrate the release of Jase Lindgrens first solo album. Jase had seasoned musicians backing him up as he played most of the cuts off his soaring Americana infused folk rock debut, "its not too late". Jase is taking his talent to LA where he'll be infiltrating the music scene and in short order rising to international fame! We hope he won't forget us up here in Seattle!

Josh and Anand rocked out with miles of midi cables, sample pads and synths. With heart on sleeve stage energy they shook the place with their quirky brand of "electrofun". Both members alternated on vocals and drums, creating interweaving counter melodies with booty movin' beats. Its tiring just watching these two perform! Mark my words, Josh and Anand will be makin' waves in the Seattle music community in 2009 when their new full length is released. For now, check out their myspace profile...

Opening up the evening were members of Denelian, pulling together a short set of energetic acoustic guitar and drum kit versions of their usual post punk new wave songs that included some older Denelian stuff with a rollicking cover of Johnny Cash's 'folsom prison blues', and new unreleased tracks like the closer blues stomp soon to be classic, which instructed the audience to "sequence your heart to the beat of the drums!!!" Indeed.......
