This Friday Night!
Continuing a February full of awexome musics, this Friday up at Cafe Racer in Seattle’s U-District (very near Ravenna Park) there’s gonna be a show put on by a bunch of people I really like:
• Robb Benson & the Shelk
Seattle musical mainstay Robb Benson will be performing a set. This is the “Shelk” version of Robb Benson, just one of about a dozen bands/incarnations of this musician. On drums for the Shelk this evening will be Dom Cortese, drummer for The Jesus Rehab and The Five Finger Discount!
• Nice Garçons
This group fascinates me. I haven’t heard them yet; in fact I’ve only just recently heard of them. But kinda like a supergroup, Nice Garçons is made up of various musicians and artists of many types, all brought together:
- Julia Massey (of Julia Massey & The Five Finger Discount)
- Elizabeth Mayer (of Safeword Sasquatch)
- Darla Rae Berry Benson (artist, & also the lovely and vivacious wife of Robb Benson)
- Amy Ellen “Flatchestedmama” Trefsger (conceptual artist)
- Elizabeth McDonald
- Amanda Mae
- Honorary member Rachel Schien
The description of this group is a bit mystifying:
If you love the Violent Femmes, then you will truly be entertained by the Nice Garçons. Seven Lovely Ladies execute a Performance Piece Musical Adventure!
Those people with that diverse skillset, plus that description? I don’t know what to expect, but I’m sold!
• CAFERACESTAR
I don’t have any information about this act, other than what’s provided in the Facebook event:
featuring BONES, who not only makes the BEST Burger in town, but also plays Awesome Folky tunes!
I’m wondering if maybe this BONES character is one of the employees of Cafe Racer? I guess I’ll find out!
So that’s the show. Carrie & I are BOTH planning on being there, and seeing as how it’s an all-ages show, we might just bring a wee beb with us as well. Haven’t quite decided yet.
