March 23, 2013

Snow and sunshine and stuff in bloom? Yep, must be spring in Seattle. If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. If you don't like the music, wait for the next band.

Bevelers
I see this one as a literary reference: "I made it on the bevel. 1. There is more surface for the nails to grip . . . 13. It makes a neater job." (From As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner)

The Echo Echo Echoes
This is the most autological band name I have seen to date. As you might expect, they use lots of reverb.

(The names that follow are not only wonderful, but all together on the same bill!)

Foxygen
This piece of wordplay brims with cheerful '70s funkiness.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra
So is it the mortals who are unknown, or the orchestra? This is an unexpected combination of words that sounds like it means something and has exactly the right rhythm.

Wampire
The spelling implies an entire accent.
