If it seems too nice out to go inside and hear a band, just remember, rain will surely come again. This week's picks:
Larry and His Flask
I like this on its own -- just a man and his bottle -- but it was made even better by being on the same bill with two bands who have the classic "X and the Y" naming structure. "And His" gives the classic a nice twist.
Post Paint
We have a running joke about second-generation post-painterly abstractionism, which apparently means something to someone. This is way better.
The Purpose Being
We also have a running joke about an entity known as The Time Being, for whom we leave things. This must be its cousin.
Red Means Go
Enough to make me leave the car in the garage forever.
Yay Conifers
Because without 'em, there'd be no Evergreen State, right? Go, gymnosperms!
Naming a band is an act of concentrated creative expression. Square Pig in a Round Hole exists to reward five favorite band names each week. Winners are listed alphabetically. Selection is wholly unscientific and subject to whim, with a bias toward wordplay, humor, and local flavor. In most cases, I won't know anything about the bands at the time of selection. Thanks to the Seattle Times club listings for abundant source material!
