The Lights Go Out
February 22nd, 2011
Seattle’s favorite sinister n’ sloppy garage rockers The Lights have announced their “indefinite hiatus” after 13 years of tearing our town to shreds. Drummer PJ Rogalski is moving on up and the band just can’t simply replace such a torched thunderer. I’d like to note, however, that the band is going out on an extremely high note, as their most recent album, Failed Graves, was a deathly, ramshackle success. Sigh.
But! — there’s always a ‘but’ — you can certainly keep cheering on the other two dudes in the band (and Rogalski, too, I suppose) as they keep on truckin’ with other outfits. Craig Chambers is a tireless musician and has two (2) other bands you can track: Love Tan and Le Sang Song. Bassist Jeff Albertson has a sweet, shiny band called Summer Babes that released a fun new EP last July.
It’s only fitting that the final show takes place at the Funhouse, with two bands you should already be very familiar with: Partman Parthorse and Unnatural Helpers. Gonna be a helluva time. Here’s the Facebook event page.
