September 14, 2013

Heard the good news this week that ReverbFest is being resurrected as the Macefield Music Festival, October 5 in Ballard. It'll be a bit smaller but still sounds great -- Young Fresh Fellows are in the lineup! We're in.

Meanwhile, there's plenty going on in the coming week. These band names deserve recognition:

The Littlest Viking
Children's movie-title trope: "The heartwarming story of a Norseman who loots and pillages his way to the top in spite of his diminutive size." I love the quick turn from cuteness to ferocity.

Meteor vs. Dinosaur
This will probably end badly . . . unless the dinosaurs are prepared with a gravity tractor to move the space rock before it hits the atmosphere.

Milo and the Understudies
I always appreciate a good deployment of the classic X and the Ys format. And then it's The Understudies, with all the second-stringness and muted hope for stardom that implies. If that weren't enough, Milo is the first name of the best villain I ever wrote. (And I've just learned this is a band of siblings, which I have to support).

Mr. and Mrs. Something
Yeah -- that couple you always see at that one place, where they serve those things.

The So So Glos
The repeated long Os make this name practically sing, and I always have a soft spot for any whiff of loser culture.
