Lost Lander Summer Cannibals These Portlandians came to headbang with their in-your-face punk rock, and the Neumos crowd did as well. The Julie Room At this point in the day, it was pouring and being in Seattle, everyone was ready and equipped with their rain gear. A little water did not stop the diehard fans […]
CHBP day two!
The rain won’t stop, can’t stop this block party! But when has the rain ever stopped Seattleites from doing anything (besides driving weirdly)? Day one of Capitol Hill Block Party proved to be the quality day of music that they have proved in the past festival circuits. With familiar locals, bands you have never heard of, and alt-radio favorites, attendees danced until the wee hours of the early morning.
Ah, finally my dear friends I have the ability to drink in the comfort of my own home and walk a couple blocks to be on festival grounds. Capitol Hill Block Party is here! Blessing us with a densely populated 8 blocks- this year is going to be nothing short of awesome with a stacked line-up of kick ass acts. Here’s the top 3 artists I’m most excited for this year;
Located right in the heart of the music venue/trendy bar/coffee shop/vintage store-infested Seattle neighborhood, Capitol Hill Block Party is the place to be for any music-loving hipster. It is an awesome festival to discover locals bands and catch a few of your favorite bigger name acts. So for those that want to relive the awesome weekend, or for any of you that wish you were there, I got your back! There is no possible way for me to talk about every single band at CHBP, so here is a rundown on the highlights of the three day festival:
Tangerine is a Seattle indie pop-rock quartet that has got some major flare. Glittering with sweet vocals by Marika Justad, pulsing beats by Miro Justad, driving bass lines provided by Ryan Baker, and vintage-y guitar riffs by Toby Kuhn – these freshly squeezed tunes will get you on your feet and dancing in no time (whether that be a slow-dance, or happy-go-lucky dance, Tangerine has got you covered). If Urban Outfitters ever needed a custom soundtrack for their store, Tangerine would be the perfect fit.
Multi-talented Seattle artist Katie Kate has a new song titled ‘Sadie Hawkins’ up for streaming. New album Nation is due out in August, but be sure to catch this Seattle staple musician at the Capitol Hill Block Party 7/26!
Every year, the Capitol Hill Block Party gets bigger and better. This year’s lineup (July 25-27) will feature A$ap Rocky, Spoon, The War On Drugs, and Chromeo, as well as local acts like Odesza. More artists will be announced, but for today only, 3-day passes are $99 instead of the regular $125! Pick up tickets on the CHBP website!
