Last night, Seattle City Council voted to consider the Showbox a landmark. Hooray! Almost.

Alright, how do we put our name on this thing?
With their fluid beats, positive energy, and clean sound, Seattle-based dance/indie/synth-infused group, Beat Connection, could not be more appropriately named. They rocked a nearly full Neumos, and most importantly, had everyone engaged and dancing along.
On any given Thursday night in Seattle’s iconic neighborhood, Capitol Hill, you are bound to walk into an awesome show. This was no different on October 23rd over at Barboza where local quartet, Tangerine, celebrated the release of their new EP, “Behemoth!” The basement bar was filled to the rim with loyal fans, friends, and family for Marika, Miro, Toby, and Ryan.
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:
New Lungs is the indie/post-rock/post-punk product of five skilled Pacific Northwest musicians that put on a mean stage show. And what better way to represent the local scene than with a few guys from Seattle, Bellevue, and Bellingham.
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.
SoFar Sounds (Songs From a Room) is a non-profit organization that hosts impromptu concerts in living rooms across the globe. The concert series features local and upcoming artists for music lovers to enjoy with no concert lines and free admission.
Seattle’s own, The Flavr Blue, are one of the fiercest dance/electronica/soft-house trios around.
