Both July and August were lacking in shows that I was eager to see - in July I most wanted to see Kinski's CD release show, but that was the night before my parents left; this month there's just a general lack of good shows, although I did happily find out about Library Science's show in time to go see them. At the Library Science show, John remarked that he'd like to go see more shows and would like to know when I decide on my monthly show. That also made me realize I should start looking at the September shows now so I can plan accordingly. As usual, the three imaginary girls calendar listings provide a good first look at what's coming up down the road - and it looks like there's several good shows to choose from in September:
I never bothered to get tickets for Dead Can Dance, but it seems there may still be some available. On the other hand it's $29.50 plus service charges just for the "third mezzanine" (aka highest balcony), and I'd be very surprised if there were any seats available lower down.
Additionally, there's Bumbershoot, the Labor Day weekend music and arts festival. There's definitely one event at Bumbershoot I don't want to miss: Smart: Dave Eggers, Sarah Vowell, Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket), Mike Doughty, and the Transatlantic Orchestra in a Benefit for 826 Seattle, Saturday, 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm @ McCaw Hall. Any time Sarah Vowell's in town, it's an event to attend. Hmm, too bad there doesn't seem to be much else on Saturday, except the Fading Collection are playing Saturday, 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm @ Toasted Head Northwest Court Lounge. (Check out the Fading Collection's website too, it looks cool.) That's good, I already have one of their albums and like it a lot, and I've been meaning to check them out live but haven't managed to do so yet. Hmm, there are some interesting possibilities on the other days too, but I don't feel that keen on going by myself every day. If anyone's interested, I should point out that advance ticket prices go up on August 26 - a one-day pass is now $18 but goes up to $28, while a two-day pass is now $30 but goes up to $45 - so now's the time to buy.
Anyhow, after a rather slow summer musically, it looks like I could take in quite a lot of music next month, which is pretty cool.
Oh, and I did update my previous entry to include my review of Wednesday's show, if you're curious.
