I never thought I’d be so excited for a show on the East Side (that’s a little West Side snobbery for ya), but this lineup at the Lake Street Bar & Grill (over near the water between Peter Kirk Park and the “awesome” Shark Club) has me, well, excited.

Electro-beat swooner turned Seattle Subsonic blogger C-Leb (that’s called ‘full disclosure’) has teamed up with his pal A-Bro in crafting Broke Downtown, a dj-inspired, mid-tempo dance record with slick beats, funky jabs, sly vocals, and soaring back-up pipes (courtesy of local singer/songwriter Bee Simonds, also on this bill). Add in some new-wave synth, house bass and scratchy guitar, and it might just latch on to your spongey little brain. Think of a happier Depeche Mode or a funkier Pet Shop Boys joining forces with contemporary spacegazers Starfucker and the Postal Service. Listen to the entire album (complete with C-Leb’s own cathartic take) here.

You know what Mad Rad is all about (Spank Rock yo-yo rap, tech-hop, white-boy dance sleaze, and inane club violence) and Champagne Champagne you can Get To Know here.

No word yet on why the second ‘Champagne’ was misspelled.
