Anyone involved with noteworthy live events in the Seattle area? Am I just too much of a hermit or are things as completely fucking dead around here lately as they seem? Is Debacle the closest we have? Not much interest for me, less so every year ("take a vacation from normal" - spare me the fucking details). Even the hardcore scene that was flourishing a few years back seems to have died down. Portland doesn't seem to have this problem.
There's a pretty nasty show 5/19 that I posted about in the Live Shows section: Bacillus/ Pain Appendix/ Full Metal Confused/ Obsidian Needles / Interracial Sex / Primordial Wound at a house in Capitol Hill. Have some other things that hopefully I can announce soon. Pent Up Release generally do monthly gigs and other ill shit too
Cdan- thanks for the info, will be looking into this
No sweat, there should be some other pretty good shit coming up in July/August as well. Olympia seems to have stuff going on every now and again as well.
Starting to find the relevant paths after a bit of research. Will definitely be at the show on the 19th. Lived in this area forever but I tend to fall out of touch
hope you all live happily ever after.

Vancouver is an hour North.
Vancouver has always been a harsh noise stronghold. This year's noise fest is looking to be solid once again.
I've been wondering about this as well. I too am a hermit, on the Eastside no less, so I don't exactly have my ear to the noise ground. However, there is the monthly Squall event at Kremwerk which last year had The Rita. There's one this weekend. I'm not sure if this is more noise or ambient or what but...

There is Pharmakon at Kremwerk on the 15th. Tickets are a bit more, $15, but, what can you do? I'm going. I keep an eye on the Pent up Release page but so far, not much seems to be happening.
The only places I'm aware of that have noise shows is Kremwerk and Gallery 1412. I keep thinking there must be more but I just don't know of any. If anyone has any info, please let us know. Both Olympia and Portland have a fair amount of noise; I keep thinking Seattle does too but I can't always find it.
I've been in Seattle for over 2 years now and there's a decent amount of stuff going on. Certainly Dan Fried (Primordial Wound) and Peter (Interracial Sex) rip it up. Abe (Prisonfood) and Felicia (Masturbatory Dysfunction) do lots of great shows and Peter (Bacillus/Condo Horro) does a lot of stuff too. Debacle is bringing Pharmakon over on 7/15 (as mentioned earlier) and I am playing a show with some rippers on 7/22 https://www.facebook.com/events/117453558800505/
Also my friend Andrew plays as Pathogens and it is some really sick Slaughter Productions influenced death industrial but he doesn't play too often. There is a sick collective called Caligula Cartell which has members of To End It All and they do these intense unholy noise/drone performances - really sick stuff. First one I saw there was live bloodletting with a woman drinking the blood.
Overall a pretty happening scene I think.
The Interracial Sex/Primordial Wound, etc. show mentioned earlier was great, and at a venue I hadn't been to (The In).

A benefit? For illness? An accident?
Nah just him playing
From the show last week it was awesome to play with To End It All. I knew they would be good, but they are on to some next level shit. Some crappy vids I took here, but it will give you some idea. I still haven't rocked their tape yet, but will report back once I do.

Those links are dead.
Setting up a Nov show for some Portland folks and hopefully a Vancouver one. Will post a flyer when line up is finalized. If it's of any interest I dumped another round of PW tapes at Wall of Sound.

delete everything in the link from the first question mark onward and should be fine. the rest is link info for FB's algorithms.
Killer, that worked, thanks.
Bumping this thread in case of anything good upcoming.
Anyone else here for the Anomalous run in the mid-'90s?
Can't believe the number of great shows I saw/played there... What a treasure that space was.
4/2 at Black Lodge (DM if you need address)
Interracial Sex (Tacoma PE)
Pain Appendix (FL Industrial noise)
Obsidian Needles (Portland/Olympia ambient industrial)
Primordial Wound (Seattle harsh noise)
Victim in Pain (Seattle harsh noise)
Thanks for the heads up. If it's still on Eastlake then I know the spot.
Should be said my comment / question that started this thread was pretty off base. Interracial Sex, Primordial Wound and others have obviously been eviscerating the PNW since way before I started paying attention. Looking forward to the black lodge show.
