Free on Friday

We're playing the Blue Moon with Red Rapture on Friday, which can't help but to be awesome: we played a dry run with them a The Octagon house party on Saturday night, and that party was great! The music was fantastic, and the incredible (technical, trippy, and heavy as hell) Barefoot Barnacle was on the bill, the room was packed, and the crowd was phenomenal. Pack a bunch of us in a small room and the energy level goes up! (My apologies to the woman I was always almost stepping on and/or smacking in the face with my headstock)

Also, you only get to hear flirtations like "You hella don't wear your contacts anymore" at house parties. That's a lot of contact-not-wearing. It blew my mind and completely reconfigured my concept of math, as I thought it was a binary system: either one wore contacts, or one didn't wear contacts... but now we all know there are hella permutations to the system (only in the U-District, where the IQs are high and the education runs deep).

We're up on 45th this Friday, so we're rocking the convenient. The Blue Moon is on myriad bus routes, is right off of I-5, it's a Friday night show, and it's totally free. Stack all of that stuff together: it's not a school night, it's easy to get to, and it doesn't cost you anything... and that's a winner. That'd be a winner even if you didn't like ubik, as you could sit around and laugh at us for free, and we've got variety on tap: singer-sonwriter Paul Jameson is our first ever hyphenate billmate, and Red Rapture rocked the Nectar Lounge with us a few months back (not to mention the rad house party).

We're still soliciting contributions to our genre-naming in the post below, so feel free to contribute. No-- don't feel free; feel obligated. This has even become a feature on Artomaton, so it is obviously something you need to do.
