When the band last attempted to play at The Comet, an unprecedented snowstorm struck the Pacific Northwest and the show had to be canceled…Well, the exact opposite may occur this time as Seattle will be in the final throes of a heat wave. And while we doubt the show will be called on account of heat, Nathan has suggested patrons “wear as little as possible”; we fear this may lead to unexpected–or potentially undesirable–results, so please use your best judgment. However, sharing a bill with great bands such as Half Light, Gertrude’s Hearse, and Sneaky Thieves, it seems that at least “taking one’s shirt off” is called for.
THU, July 30th @ 9:00pm
The Comet Tavern (21+/$7)
22 E Pike Street, Seattle, WA
w/Sneaky Thieves, Gertrude’s Hearse, and Half Light!
The Dark Pioneers will also travel to Tacoma, Washington for the first time, playing with long-time friend/touring partner Sam Marshall and his Trio. Please note that the New Frontier Lounge is not a”clothing optional” venue.
SAT, August 1st @ 9:00pm
New Frontier Lounge (21+/$5)
301 E 25th Street, Tacoma, WA
w/Sam Marshall Trio andWoodbrain!
UPDATE (7/31/09): We’re excited to announce that the Tacoma show now features JD Hobson and Memphis Radio Kings in addition to the Sam Marshall Trio!
And on a completely different subject: it probably wouldn’t hurt to go here and take a listen to what Nathan & Co. have in store for you in the Fall.
Stay dry, stay vigilant,
