Seattle Subsonic

2008 REVERB Music Fest - Listen in to the Full Line-up

August 29th, 2008

The is a shiver is passing through the very heart and soul of the Seattle music scene as the 2008 Seattle Weekly’s REVERBFest peeks out from behind the Bumbershoot mamoth. Boasting over 60 Seattle area bands in the lineup, ReverbFest is picking up some serious momentum. As we close in on one month until the “big show”, October 4th is already looking to go down as one of the greatest conglomeration of local talent I can ever remember having seen. Palms are getting sweaty… pupils dilating… this is like porn for the Northwest audiophile. They’re going to be pouring it ON with everything from Hip Hop to Country, featuring the old bucks straight through to the spring chickens. I count no less than 9 stages littered throughout the thick of Ballard’s hip-happenest area mostly on Ballard Ave and Market. 5 of these venues even are billed as all-ages. It appears that the 30 somethings and the 13 year olds hanging at the Ballard Bowl will have yet another topic to on which to meet eye to eye. Another great way to piss off the condo associations.

Below we have a full schedule that is about 99% solid for all the venues involved. You’ll also find tunes from some of the bands we’d recommend you make an effort to catch to help get you jazzed. Peruse the other band links to check out some music from bands you haven’t hear before. I’ve already found some new favorites, such as Blood Red Dancers (Sunset), and Trombone Cake. (Lock and Keel). Last year this event cost all of 8 clams. Dunno exactly what’s planned this go-round, but I’m betting it’s going to be worth it. (give songs a sec to load)
