Music Fests, Oh My – CHBP & Timber! This Weekend

It’s a big weekend for music, Seattleites! Capitol Hill Block Party is going to be in full swing, for those who love big crowds and… challenging parking. Three day passes are currently sold out but there are still single day tickets available so you may still be able to see The Flaming Lips, Girl Talk, Pickwick, STRFKR, Purity Ring, Telekinesis and other favorites form the NW and beyond. Also, this weekend marks the first annual Timber! Outdoor Music Festival out in Carnation, WA, for those who love campfires and sleeping on the ground. Timber! is a brand new festival from the fine folks who brought you Doe Bay Fest, so expect something more intimate and more natural than the urban alternative this week. Don’t miss anticipated sets from The Fruit Bats, Helio Sequence, Lemolo and Ivan & Alyosha, among others… So really, there’s something for everyone!

Bryan John Appleby at Neumos = A Must See Show + Another Reason to Watch That Video

Rarely ones to miss an opportunity to offer (an often unsolicited) recommendation to our friends about what videos they really “need” to see, it should come as no surprise that Christian Sorensen Hansen‘s name is a part of a majority of said conversations.

The days when we actually have a chance to point people to one of Christian’s videos organically rank among our favorites. As luck has it (as you likely have already guessed), today is one such day.

Bryan John Appleby, the Seattle-based purveyor of “indie-folk tinged Americana” and star of what is quite possibly Christian’s most visually stunning video yet (below), will be playing Neumos tonight as part of the one of the best all-local shows we’ve yet to see this year.

Be sure to get there early to see the young, self-described “baroque pop” band Tomten who will take the stage before Appleby and be sure to stick around for the smoothly constructed, bluesy pop songs of Motopony.
