Coming up this Saturday Aug 18th! *Recommended by Dave Segal "Seattle’s Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand—guitarist Jeffery Taylor, drummer Mark Ostrowski, bassist John Seman, and new addition, trumpeter Greg Kelley—continue to add nuances to their free-jazz rock, toggling between the combustible and the contemplative with steely nerve and bristly poignancy. Their music perfectly balances the cerebral and the feral. Fans of Terje Rypdal’s 1970s-era ECM releases, James Blood Ulmer, and Jimi Hendrix should investigate. Fellow locals Geist & the Sacred Ensemble sound like the closest thing this city has to ’90s/’00s-era Swans: heavy, ritualistic rock that somehow straddles the moat between forlorn pastoral vibes and grim urban realms. They’re at their best when most nightmarish." .......................................................................... #Saturday #recommended #thestranger #livemusic #seattle #hdth #thesheen #geistandthesacredensemble #eclectic
