WEST SEATTLE MUSIC NOTES: Aurora Ave. on tour; rock royalty coming to Easy Street

| West Seattle news | WS culture/arts

Two West Seattle music notes for later this week:

AURORA AVE. ON THE ROAD: West Seattle-founded band Aurora Ave. hopes to entice you to leave the peninsula for their big show this Wednesday:

Aurora Ave. is so excited to have our biggest hometown show yet this Wednesday. We’ll be headlining at one of our favorite venues in Capitol Hill, Neumos, on June 19th! This show is our last show in Washington before the band continues our Origami Tour in California for the first time. Our tour includes a show at the famous Whiskey a Go Go in LA, so come out for our Seattle show before we leave! We would love to see our West Seattle community at the show. We began as a band in WS, so we couldn’t be where we are now without you! We’ll be playing alongside our friends WINEHOUSE and The Kerrys, so come out to this awesome show. This show is 21+. You can get tickets at auroraave.com or neumos.com

NOVOSELIC’S BONA FIDE BAND AT EASY STREET: Then on Thursday, you can stay right here in West Seattle and see/hear rock royalty. Easy Street Records‘ endless series of free, all-ages in-store performances continues Thursday with the debut perforance of Novoselic’s Bona Fide Band – that’s Novoselic as in Krist Novoselic, whose first claim to fame was Nirvana. Also in the band, Mark Pickerel from Screaming Trees, along with Kathy Moore (Brad, Star Anna), and, from 3rd Secret, Jillian Weiss and Jennifer Johnson. 7 pm Thursday, free, all ages!

From what I have read, at least part of the goal of the Easy Street show is to gather signatures in support of Novoselic’s new political party, the Cascade Party. Interesting approach. Certainly more enjoyable than canvassing!

K June 18, 2024 (8:27 pm)

Not just part of the goal, he literally said the shows are political conventions. So far no interview he’s done or the party’s website has any information about what the party stands for. Hopefully they offer some info at the signature-gathering tables, but I have a feeling it’s going to be a lot more “Remember me? Sign here” instead.

Krist Novaselic is 100% off his rocker (no pun intended) with this latest scam. I will NOT be supporting his little offshoot republican party. Love his music, but, NO.

J June 18, 2024 (5:30 pm)

A “free” show with a political agenda…no thank you. Thanks for the heads up!

How are they a little republican party? I can’t any good information how this party

Rara June 18, 2024 (12:02 pm)

Yay! Aurora Ave is so fun to watch ❤️

And 80’s new wave band Modern English will be at Easy Street this Saturday at 2pm doing an album signing. Love Easy Street!

Just got that from ESR a little earlier today, haven’t had time to add it to the calendar. We usually list their in-store performances and/or appearances in the calendar and daily list.

Bill June 26, 2024 (12:09 pm)

ESR is West Seattle at it’s finest. Offering stuff that you just don’t find anywhere else. Music, ideas, people, food and serious and silly fun. It’s the greatest thing around for anyone, including families with kids, music fans, musicians, and an an awesome place to just hang. I’m really looking forward to seeing Jason Lollar (Lollar Pickups) play on Sat, Aug 3rd with Working Class Jones. Thanks WSB for this info, the blog is totally a find!

Sorry, comment time is over.
