NW bands @ Radio Heartbeat Fest

In March, Radio Heartbeat out of Brooklyn, NY is having what they call the first ever NYC powerpop festival. Tey say they have finalized the line up, and there are a number of Northwest bands on the bill, including:

The Nice Boys, Portland
The Suspicions, Seattle
The Pop Machine, Seattle

I don't know about this "first ever" declaration, especially since the International Pop Overthrow is held there. A lot of the bands seem more on the garage-pop tip. But, it looks like a pretty cool series of shows.

Congrats to our NW friends for making the bills!

A punk rockin' good time @ Comet (9/15)

If you're in the mood for some punk rock sounds from days gone by (meaning punk rock as it was closer to 1970s than 2000s), head to the Comet on Friday.

The Trashies
Bug Nasties
The Cheats
The Suspicions
