An on-the-street walking tour of Seattle for out of town bands-- where to play, what to expect, where to park the band van, where to get a drink and a bite to eat. You know: the nuts and bolts of any band's life when they roll into a strange town and need to figure out what to do and where to be.
A little while back, talking with a recent immigrant to Seattle outside the Kraken, he asked me about punk bands in town-- I immediately told him to check out 7 Year Old Blind Girl, and a random person walking by jumped in: "That's the best band in Seattle, right there." You might be able to find their discs on eBay, but Blind Girl doesn't have an online store, you can't download their music on Bandcamp, and they're not heralded by the local music press... 7 Year Old Blind Girl are amazing, but you've got to go see them find that out. My camera is a poor, poor substitute-- you need to go to a show.
