Seattle Indie Musicians, Radio & Venues

     Here we go local indie musician Seattlites and north Puget Sounders let's keep it local.  Listen to KEXP for great indie music and from Everett, closer to where I'm from, there is KSER and their show Poptopia Parkway Wednesdays at 7pm.  Poptopia Parkway's foundation is power pop, but it's also a showcase for indie rock, oldies, Americana, and contemporary pop singer-songwriters from the 1960s through today.  Lon Palmer is the host. You can contact Lon by email (lon@kser.org) or on his Facebook page to have them play your music.

    I plan to seek out more local venues and include them on this blog.  In Seattle, I've visited the Showbox, the Tractor and the Crocodile.  This Friday I will be going to the Paramount to see Haim.  I'm pretty sure they are not independent, but excited to see them none-the-less. In Mount Vernon up north I've enjoyed going to the Muse, a relatively small venue with a bar and restaurant.  They have three stages on different levels, with shows going on simultaneously, pretty awesome!!

     
     I've discovered some local artists that I really like.  I may have already shared them in previous posts, but I'm going to share them again now.  Eric Miller, Kris Orlowski, Wishbeard, La Luz and my recent discovery through luvindiemusic.com, Mossback and their new song City Lights that you can hear on mixcloud. City Lights is a melodic blend of scintillating guitar riffs, aurally pleasing vocals and a rock solid bass and drums. I hope they will make a lyric video for the song soon. You can follow them on tumblr and twitter, and listen to them for free on jango. 

Visit Grumpy D's in Ballard every Wednesday for a great open mic at 5:30p.

Support local artists :)
