About Aloe Blacc: "The finest slice of vintage-sounding, piano- and horn-powered funk we've heard in quite some time. We're not usually big on nostalgia parties, but if you can't enjoy a few laps in the "I Need a Dollar" pool, you're officially dead inside." ~XLR8R

Aloe Blacc has said his purpose for music is positive social change, and his new album, Good Things, is all about that. The personal turns into the political, with songs about joblessness, homelessness, and more, weaving throughout. It's thought provoking work, paired with head-turning tunes that channel jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and soul. Read the rest of this entry »

This Month at Sequential Art Gallery:
JET PACK JACK AND THE STEAM GIANT
New work by MIKE LAWRENCE

Beans, steams, and giant killer robots all play a part in Mike Lawrence's version of the classic fairy tale Jack and the Bean Stalk. Jack and his mother are poor, so poor they dream of a day they can afford to eat loafers instead of tough old work boots. When Jack's mother give's him his dear departed dad's broken pocket watch to sell in town for some food, Jack buys a jet pack instead and his rocketed to a junkyard filled with treasure, and guarded by a steam powered automaton. Jet Pack Jack and the Steam Giant opens First Thursday, November 4th from 6 to 10 pm, and runs through November.

Sequential Art Gallery + Studio is located in Old Town Chinatown at the Everett Station Lofts, 328 NW Broadway #113. Open for regular gallery hours Thursdays (3pm-7pm) and Saturdays (11am-5pm) or by appointment. The gallery showcases local artists who explore the concept of sequential art, which is loosely defined as using consecutive images to tell a story. Curated by Kaebel JK Hashitani and Merrick Monroe.

UPDATE: We have a pair of tickets ($25+) for The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Glasser, and Weekend at Holocene on Saturday night. To Win Tickets, comment on this post why you would like to attend. Winners will be drawn & emailed Friday, November 5th @ 3PM.

Drawing on the sparkling legacy of the best of 80s and 90s pop, New York City indie pop group The Pains of Being Pure at Heart update the timeless noisy pop template with a thoroughly modern viewpoint and a very distinctive, playful personality. There is something instantly identifiable about a Pains tune, and it is the essential “rightness” of their records that has captured the attention of pop fans around the world.

The band had quite a 2009, and 2010 is shaping up to be even better. They released their self-titled debut in February 2009 to universal acclaim, racking up features in magazines like Spin, Rolling Stone and NME, earning Best New Music status from Pitchfork, and Read the rest of this entry »
