Another great week for music in the Northwest. The week starts off strong with great shows from Wye Oak, Arctic Monkeys and the Vaccines, and then much harder bands later in the week at Neumo’s as part of the Seattle Tattoo Expo. On Friday, come down to the Seattle Center for Concerts at the Mural, a free show featuring Seapony, Gold Leaves, and Math and Physics Club, and later that evening the much anticipated (and re-scheduled) Adele show. We’ve even got the Go-Go’s at the Zoo, so there’s a little something for everyone this week. Here’s what’s going on around town:
Monday, August 8
Burn Pilot (Germany), The Dead Language @ The Funhouse (info)
Tuesday, August 9
*Pictureplane, Javelin, Hollagramz at Sunset Tavern (info)
*Eels, The Submarines at Showbox at the Market (info)
*Wye Oak, Grand Hallway, Say Hi (solo) at Crocodile (info)
Wye Oak put on an amazing live show and just happened to have released an absolute stunner of an album on Merge this year. If you have yet to see this band in full amplification, now is the time to do it. Do it.
Wednesday, August 10
*Arctic Monkeys, The Vaccines at Showbox Sodo (Sold Out!) (info)
A show with two bands at the pinnacle of much deserved hype right now with potential albums of the year being released by each band this year. Here’s you’re one (and probably only) opportunity to see them both in one night. If you couldn’t score tickets, The Vaccines will perform that day at noon and Arctic Monkeys will be live on the Afternoon Show with Kevin Cole at 3:00pm!
