Seafair: Seattle's Summer Celebration

Press Release
Seafair

Have you held a wide-eyed child as a beautiful float glides down Fourth Avenue, craned your neck skyward as the Blue Angels suddenly disappear from view, gasped for air as a hydroplane comes out of the north turn bouncing from sponson to sponson?

The Long Winters
Music

The Long Winters

By Joel Peterson

The line-up of John Roderick’s The Long Winters is chock-full of Pacific Northwest luminaries and power-pop all-stars from the past decade. It began as a duo of Roderick and Sean Nelson of Harvey Danger fame (not to mention Nelson’s stint as a KEXP DJ and as a writer for The Stranger). 

The Devil Makes Three
Music/Art

The Devil Makes Three

Press Release

 With a slightly punky perspective on vintage American blues, The Devil Makes Three is a breath of fresh musical air on its eponymous Milan debut. Laced with elements of ragtime, country, folk and rockabilly, the critically praised, drummer-less trio – consisting of guitarist/frontman Pete Bernhard, stand-up bassist Lucia Turino and guitarist Cooper McBean – brings forth a genuine approach to acoustic music that is deeply steeped in rhythm.

Food & Drink Scene


Crow
Restaurants

Crow

By Deborah Ashin

Crow's seductive ambiance is a cross between a stark industrial warehouse and an artist's romantic loft. Low lighting and gauzy curtains create a visual counterpoint to the restaurant's minimal decor and cement walls, which are painted in a palette of rich colors. Despite its noisy buzz, Crow is an inviting neighborhood hangout (kid noodles are on the menu) yet intimate enough for a special occasion.

Seattle International Beer Festival

Seattle International Beer Festival



Beer drinking and Independence Day have been bedmates from the get go. Something about the hot July sun paired with, cold, alcoholic refreshment just makes sense. George Washington himself was a brewer, concocting a draught sweetened with molasses that was about twice as potent as today’s varieties.

Form-Space-Light Gallery

By Angie Jones

An ironic contrast of pink wine and rough surfaces captured my attention at once as I entered Form-Space-Light Gallery.  Located down a Fremont alley way, the space felt raw.  Though its walls are clinically white and struck with bright light, its damp air, exposed pipes and an old rusty heater further support its already industrial propensity.  The wood floor creaked as I walked across its worn, paint-splattered planks.  I could nearly conjure up the fumes and grind of blade on steel as I was presented with a panoramic view of angular forms and non-descript imagery.

Seattle Casino Guide

By Seattle.net Staff

n Washington, there are subtle differences that often give tribally owned and operated Casinos, to borrow a phrase, a house edge. Only in tribal casinos can one hear the soft whisper of a stickman’s rake as he adroitly delivers the dice to an awaiting shooter, glued against the rail of a craps table; or the swoosh of a Roulette ball orbiting the reds, blacks, odds, evens and zeros; or the relentless sensory deprivation of 2,500 slot machines seemingly erupting in unison, the progressive jackpot tally ticking inexorable higher, begging to be hit, just begging. They have this and more, all under a sweet cloud of cigarette smoke tantalizingly floating overhead. It pays to be sovereign.

Capitol Hill Block Party

By Seattle.net Staff

Capitol Hill Block Party is a bit of a stepchild to the Gorge’s splendor, Bumbershoot’s ambitiousness and White River’s now-that’s-what-I-call-music line-ups. It’s a melting pot of a festival, an everyman’s Burning Man. While undersized for a summer concert sell-out headliner like Tom Petty or Beck, the Block Party has once again managed to put together an impressive group of artists.

A Resurgence in Folk Music

by Noah Sanders and Seattle.net Staff

Seattle has a music scene built on noise. We birthed grunge from our asphalt loins, and in the many years since, we've become a hotbed for new trends in the amplification and production of beautiful, sweet noise. With music reaching a level of accessibility unknown prior to the advent of digital production, our noisy little burg has been overrun with new acts focused on pushing the envelope of complex craziness. The Cops, The Valley, The Hopscotch Boys, Black Eyes and Neckties, Truckasaurus—the list goes on and on.

Sub Pop: 20 years in the Making

by Joel Peterson

The seed for Sub Pop as we know it was planted by Bruce Pavitt in a fanzine released in 1979 named Subterranean Pop. In 1986, after a series of cassette compilations under the same name, Pavitt released a compilation entitled Sub Pop 100, and the next year Green River’s Dry as a Bone EP. By 1988, Pavitt befriended Jonathan Poneman and the two put out Soundgarden’s debut EP, Screaming Life. This release now serves as a golden stake of sorts, simultaneously marking the beginning of grunge as international phenomenon and Sub Pop’s start as a legitimate record label.
