EXPO '87

This weekend, and starting tonight, is Expo '87. A collection of great local, independent musicians playing in tiny spaces the size of your apartment, or living room.

Friday night will top off with the presentation of the Seattle Band Map (1/6 above), created by Rachel Ratner and Real Fake, or in full "The Cartographic Study of Musical Incest" In it's 60 square feet the band map covers the Intelligence, to Mudhoney, to Botch, to Fastbacks and on, only connecting bands with shared members. Attendees are encouraged to make corrections and additions to the map.

Saturday is loaded with Highfives' artists and friends. Including our new addition to the family, Wet Paint. ALASKAS, USF, Brainfruit just to begin. It's all happening at the corner of Summit and Mercer this weekend. Check the schedule below for times, pricing, and such. Read the Expo '87 blog.

CAIRO - ALL AGES! Saturday!

I'm bummed this awesome poster is already dated, since Fuck You, Safari won't be able to make it up from Portland. Nevertheless, Brainfruit will be filling their place; consisting of Jon Carr from Bow+Arrow rocking the arpeggiated synths and bass while percussionist Garret Moore sits behind the kit. They're funky space age jams will move you and most likely rattle a few thing off shelves.

Seattle act Dimples has been Rip Band Winklin' all winter but returns with their pop adorabilty shining, and hopefully some new songs to learn the words to. If you havn't see them you've got some catching up to do.

CB and Robert Wolfe are sweating and bloodied with paper cuts from past week of relentlous manufacturing to bring Braidstorm's first Cassette (and first release ever) with songs recorded by Jim Schiel at the Schiel Dome. Casey Catherwood had a few things to saw about Dimples, Braidstorm and the release show in this week's Underage column in our local weekly rag, The Stranger.

Cairo has been putting on awesome weekends worth of shows once a month, they are always all ages. Check them out!
