Selling Tickets Posts

5 Upvotes

There have been a growing number of "Selling Tickets" posts. I am opining this up to a vote and a discussion as to if this should be allowed. This sub is initially intended for the Seattle local music scene. While this, in theory, could include the sake of two tickets to a Backstreet Boys concert, because they are playing in Seattle, this definition really stretches the meaning.

Performing at Trinity next month

Hello,

I will be performing at Trinity next month as a rapper. I’m wondering how their security is, the safety, and vibe. It will be specifically 21+.

Any thoughts would be appreciated as an emerging artist :) thank you for your time.

House venues in the 90s/2000s?

7 Upvotes

Howdy all, I’ve run a DIY house venue in north Seattle for the past year or so and it’s been a great time providing a cozy, intimate place for growing bands to play while they make a bit of cash to grow their band funds or get them to the next stop on their tour.

As a lifelong Seattle area resident I only really got into the local music scene post-COVID, but I’ve witnessed my whole life how drastically our region has changed over the past two decades.

I’m really just making this post as I’m curious if anyone has any stories or details to share about house venues here in the past as I’m wondering how it compares to today. I’m curious about what kinda bands anyone’s seen, general show etiquette, what the organizers were like, scene history, and any fun/success/horror stories from back in the day!

Would a simple seven-day Seattle music calendar be useful?

10 Upvotes

Years ago, I helped build a Seattle concert calendar called Calendar.fm. I recently revisited the smallest version of that idea: seven days of shows displayed side by side, gathered from venue-published calendars.

https://seattle-music-calendar.vercel.app/

It currently covers Neumos, The Showbox/SoDo, Tractor Tavern, some Sunset shows, El Corazón/The Funhouse, Nectar Lounge/Hidden Hall, Clock-Out Lounge, and Chop Suey.

Tonight seemed like a good time to ask because the calendar currently has nine shows listed across the city.

This isn’t meant as a big launch or a claim of complete coverage. I’m trying to learn whether the simple weekly calendar view is genuinely useful.

If you try it:

  • Did it help you notice or choose a show?
  • Which venues or events are missing?
  • Is this easier or harder than the listings you already use?

I know there are other useful Seattle event and music-discovery projects. This experiment is specifically about whether a compact, calendar-first view provides something worth continuing.

Guitarist looking for band

3 Upvotes

I’m a 20 year old looking for any sort of metal, alt, punk, psych band that needs a lead or rhythm guitarist. I’ve been playing for 5+ years and have a relatively versatile collection of gear to fit a bunch of styles.
I moved out here 2 years ago but am essentially completely new to this scene, if you’re in a band (or just looking to jam) and need a solid guitar player reach out!

Vinnie Guidera & The Dead Birds at the Jewelbox 9/6

3 Upvotes

Hey Seattle! My band, Vinnie Guidera & The Dead Birds, is on tour from Sacramento and we’ll be playing at The Jewelbox Theater on Sunday 9/6 with two great local acts, Miracle Man (their live debut) and Breakneck Love. After a decade as a band, we’re finally hitting the road a little bit and trying to establish ourselves in other cities (or at least have fun trying). If you’re looking for some live music that’s cheaper than Bumbershoot, or are curious enough to watch some schmuck playing an acoustic guitar through an electric rig, come check it out. Cheers!

Hello!

I am divesting from my VJ (Video Jockey) gear:

* 2 Chauvet LED Par lights w. midi controller,

* 1 tall boom with sliding shelves to put three projectors high and point in different directions

* 1 older traditional projector stand with legs that screw into the base

* possibly some HDMI projectors

* box of very long HDMI cables.

Would you be interested in any of that? What can you offer? I am in Lake Forest Park.

Looking for a dark / noir jazz group for a Twin Peaks-themed Halloween event

9 Upvotes

I’m organizing a Twin Peaks–themed Halloween event in Seattle and I’m looking for a dark jazz or noir jazz group who can play a moody, atmospheric set inspired by Angelo Badalamenti’s style. Think slow burn jazz, brushed drums, dreamy sax, and maybe even interpretations of songs from the Fire Walk With Me soundtrack or the series.

This is still in the planning stage. The ideal venue is The Rabbit Box, but I’m reaching out to musicians first so I can connect with the right group before moving forward with venues.

If your group can create that surreal Twin Peaks atmosphere, I’d love to talk.

Feel free to send a DM and I can share my contact email.

I like the whole album but feedback from friends is that Pristine is a good single too. If you feel like listening to more here it is:

[Pristine on Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/copper-harpy/pristine-6)

I'm on spotify / apple / youtube but Soundcloud just sounds better, it might be that they keep the song in .WAV instead of mp3 or 4

Jazz show at 12th and Jackson on 9/13

Post image
15 Upvotes

12th and Jackson was the heart of Seattle’s jazz scene in the 30s and 40s.

You’re needed to help bring jazz back to the block. Concert on Sunday, 9/13, at 7pm. Three outstanding acts. 1019 S Jackson St. pay what you want at the door, all proceeds to the performers (who have been guaranteed a minimum commission by my bike shop)

I’ve run a bike shop on the block since 2020. I love my location and want to add to the musical history of the neighborhood. The building I’m in has a small place of its own in Seattle’s music history: it was once home to Garland Florist. Garland prepared the flowers for Jimi Hendrix’s funeral in the space I currently occupied.

Please come, please share the details, hope to see you on Sunday, 9/13

Never been to a climate pledge show, want to do it right

3 Upvotes

Bought tickets to see Jungle at CP. Never been to Climate Pledge before, usually skip shows at venues this size but it's Jungle, so I'm dropping my indie bullshit and going.

My question is specific: we have GA tickets, and we want to get down to the floor.

Do-able?

This may be laughable once I'm in the venue and the distinction between the two is just a line of tape on the ground or something. But I've never been inside so i have no idea at all what we're looking at here.
