Hollow Earth Radio (HER) is curating its popular 3rd Annual Magma Festival next month, and will feature the online radio station’s signature hyper-eclecticism of local earthed (Dylan Carlson of Earth!) and unearthed (Emeralds!) acts. The “festival” is spread out over the four weekends of March (easy to keep track of, no?) and across several different locations touting varying degrees of renown. The Vera Project, The Fremont Abbey, the Healthy Times Fun Club, and the Henry Art Gallery are among the more prominent venues, while the Mine, 20/20 Cycle, The In, Kenyon Hall, and Shafer Baillie Mansion are among the less reputed.
.
So, local music-loving geeks, whatever your schedule or taste, you’re likely to find something here to suit your fancy. Might I suggest (obviously) the inaugural lineup at the Vera Project on March 5th? Folk-rockin’ frontwoman Thao Nguyen plays with local one-man sonic tribalist Alaskas, Deception Pass, and Grr. Or might I suggest the Eruption Show at the Mine on March 27th with an absolute crap load of bands that I know little about but might favor for a joyous time? Good, thank you.
.
The poster’s type is kinda small, so click it for largeness or visit the site for more links and details. Show prices range from $6-$15, but you can buy a $50 pass that gets you into all the shows. Proceeds will benefit the radio station in specific and the DIY community in general.

SUPPORT IT OR THEY WILL ABORT IT! (I just made that up.)
Hugo House: Happy Hour Hero and the Word
| Friday, March 19, 2010 | ||

The Hugo House presents the Hugo Literary Series: four evenings of risk and reward, featuring brave new writing commissioned by Hugo House from some of the most exciting local and national writers and musicians working today. The fourth event in the series is themed for Laws of Attraction and will feature the music of Happy Hour Hero in between readings from Marya Sea Kaminski, Phillip Lopate, and Emily Warn.
.
Now, I know you might be thinking it’ll be a subdued, hushed evening as the poets whisper into the microphone, people sip espresso, and the band gently strums acoustic guitars without first doing the, “Can you hear me in the back?” check. That is not the case. I’ve been to a few of these shows. The readings will be lively, the booze (complete with jello shots) cheap, and the band rocking.
