SHAMELESS PLUG: Your Mother Should Know is playing tomorrow night, Sunday, August 10, with Canals of Venice and Bucktoad at the Skylark Cafe, 3803 Delridge Way SW. We recently recorded a full-length album that we hope to release soon, and we'll be playing the whole thing live! 7:00 p.m., $5, all ages, and Skylark has great sound and great food!
Facebook event
Some other bands are playing this week, too. Here are a few of them:
Brain Drain
Brainoil
In Friday's club listings in the Seattle Times, Brain Oil is the first rock act listed and Brain Drain is the last. This implies that music lubricates your thinking, but what you add on Friday is only good for a limited time and should be drained and replaced weekly for best results.
A King Also
I love the way this comes across as formal yet offhand. "You are a king? I am a king, also." Or: "I'm a touring musician, and a king, also." Humble, but not too humble.
The Last Ten Seconds of Life
I hope I get to spend them making music, like Louis Vierne, who died at the console of the organ of Notre Dame. If not playing, then listening. Not a bad way to go.
Stop Light Observations
It sounds so scientific. There probably is a lot of useful data to be collected about vehicle and pedestrian traffic. But it's more likely a study of how many people are eating, texting, shaving, applying makeup, and rocking out when stopped at a light.
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!
