Very rarely is there a show that is not only filled completely with incredible music, but is also supporting a great cause. Add on the fact that this show will be at one of the best venues in Seattle, the Highline, and that the cover is a $6 recommended donation, and that right there is a recipe for no-excuse-to-not-attend. The incredible music in question will be brought by Narrows, Lesbian, Mercy Ties, and Olde Ghost on Saturday June 8th. Black Crown Car Service will be presenting this outrageously solid lineup, and the proceeds will be going towards helping the tragically wounded Rick Powell.
Narrows will be headlining the event, and will without a doubt be ending the night with a raucous bang. Anyone who has not yet given their latest effort, Painted, a solid listen-through is doing themselves a huge disservice. Even forgetting the fact that this band features members of now defunct underground legends Botch and These Arms Are Snakes, Narrows are a wild, destructive force of nature that must be witnessed, crushing, brutal, and unforgiving. Be prepared for uncontrollable moshing.
Equally mesmerizing as they are face melting, Lesbian will also be dispersing vast quantities of sound waves into brains this evening as they tear apart space and time with their hard hitting brand of epic, psychedelic metal. With their upcoming record, Forestelevision, looming just weeks away upon the horizon, the buzz is growing to a roar, and only a fool would miss this opportunity to observe their aural transcendence.
Seattle Passive Aggressive alumni Mercy Ties will also be supporting, having just recently inked a deal with Glory Kid Records, as well as post-hardcore punkers Olde Ghost. Arrive early because both of these bands will absolutely slay.
To help with the mounting medical expenses and other costs brought about by the tragic shooting of Rick Powell, there is a $6 recommended donation for this show. My recommendation is to give as much as you can. The audio assault begins at 9PM, visit http://rickrighteous.com for more information about Rick.
