Days keep looking just like this one, and each week keeps filling with more and more awesome shows. What’s on our plate this week? Some deliciousness, as always.
Monday May 2: Pocketknife, DoublePlusGood, Decades @ Valentine’s. 21+, I think this dance party is free! I usually only pick one show a night, but I have to double up on this Monday, just because Hosannas are so good and playing with Menomena at the Doug Fir (for $18). Pick your poison!
Tuesday May 3: Menomena (again!), Talkdemonic, Archaeology @ Doug Fir. 21+, $18.
Wednesday May 4: Battles, 1939 Ensemble @ Doug Fir. 21+. $15
Thursday May 5: Zola Jesus, Naked on the Vague @ Holocene. 21+, $12.
Friday May 6: 8 1/2 DJs: Copy, E*Rock, Dundiggy, Mr. Charming, Invisiboy, Brkfst Sndwch, Sgt. Forkner, Snakks, Solomon @ Holocene. HOLY SHIT so many good DJs. 21+, $3 DANCE PARTY. So good I repeatedly used CAPS LOCK.
Saturday May 7: My show pick of the whole damned week: Dave Depper playing Paul McCartney’s Ram, which he recorded himself over one month about a year ago under the title The Ram Project, Lewi Longmire singing Neil Young’s After the Gold Rush, and Sean Nelson of Harvey Danger singing Nilsson Schmilsson @ Doug Fir. 21+. $10.
Sunday May 8: Vivian Girls, Blood Beach, No Joy @ Holocene. 21+, $12
