This is how old I am: I remember seeing Los Lobos back in the day at the University of Puget Sound Fieldhouse for $4. Now I see they're playing three sold-out shows at the Triple Door this weekend (good for them, by the way) and tickets went for $65-$80. Venue, artists and ticket price pretty much guarantees a -- ahem -- mature audience. In other words, people my age, but with more money.
Who else is playing this week?
Crooks on Tape
Nixon jokes never get old.
Gangrene Gang
A repeated syllable that brings together the nasty and the jaunty.
Manatee Commune
General consensus that nothing would get done, and everybody would be OK with that. Like a household of stoners.
Psydcar
Gotta love homophones that don't look anything alike.
Shark Toys
Because, y'know, they're so playful, and they only bite because they're curious. That inflatable seal won't last long, though.
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!
