Last Minute Music - This Thursday (TONIGHT) at Holocene...

Hey, yeah, this is a late last minute notice. So take it; as in take notice.

The Lonely Hero has recently taken possession of a dog puppy with his not so lonely love. Her name's Addison (the puppy's) and she's one hell of a top notch dog. The puppy is a distraction, and a lot of work, so I've been very outside of hitting concerts with any regularity and actually that was okay, because nothing was really exciting me anyway. That, and I was tired of digging. Digging through websites and venues PR releases and papers. All that was making me not excited.

TONIGHT, THAT HAS CHANGED.


Real Estate (not the sunny day version that haunted MFNW this year)
Pill Wonder
Rainbow Bridge


These three groups will be letting loose at Holocene tonight. Anyone know a dog sitter?

I first blogged about Real Estate back in March and have been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to catch them live. Their music is surfy beach psy-rock, cleverly balanced and recently, seemingly increasingly, often imitated. They've been in heavy rotation - even though I don't own a dedicated RE album - since the first of the year. Hailing from the New Jersey shore, they've had a long way to come and that means their likely excited to get this tour underway. Their set should be a lot of fun.

In August a good friend came to visit for reason of celebration. In his mitts he carried the Underwater Peoples Label sampler. On this compilation of glory were several Real Estate tracks and other such charming numbers from several various bands, one of which was titled Pill Wonder. That's the same Pill Wonder that will be making noise at Holocene tonight. Coming from the Seattle scene, it will be nice to see what Pill Wonder is about live and what kinds of impressions they can make in the NW industry. One thing's for sure, I'm loving their sound at the moment.

Rainbow Bridge I know a little bit less about but they also sound awesome! So much good sound in one place. I'm really looking forward to it. If you're of the same mind, I hope to see you there.


Shows at 8:30 and it's $8 at the door.
