If you haven't caught chanteuse Julie Cascioppo's campy act, y'oughta. She has returned from a six month trip to India and will be performing her "comeback show" on Bastille Day, Wednesday July 14th at 7 pm at the Good Shepherd Center's Chapel Performance Space (4649 Sunnyside Ave N). Here she tells us about it in that third person narrative that all performers who write their own copy must produce: JULIE CASCIOPPO, SEATTLE'S ORIGINAL JAZZ CABARET SINGER, INVITES YOU ON A SUB-CONTINENTAL…

The Family 4th of July at Gas Works is On!

Every Fourth of July—around 4:00 p.m. or so—I watch as scores of drivers swoop in for one of the precious few remaining parking spaces on my street. As the hours pass, the scene changes from motorists to pedestrians, who make their way down Wallingford Avenue in a slow and steady stream. They’ve got quite a few blocks to go before they hit Gas Works Park, but this stretch of Wallingford becomes a giant block party in and of itself. The street…

Casey Neil at the High Dive

Our old friend Casey is coming from Portland to play a CD release show at the High Dive in Fremont this Wednesday, June 30th. Now, before we get too much further, we'll insert the disclaimer: he really is an old friend: every summer brings back memories of trudging a starlit wooded path to the abandoned quarry in New England where we group up, stripping down and charging off the cliff into emptiness, then bracing cold, ink black water water below. Of…

Hollow Earth Radio: Movin’ On

In January '09, Wallyhood introduced us to Hollow Earth Radio -- an Internet radio station broadcasting an eclectic mix of music and interviews 24 /7 from right here in Wallingford. Sadly, we've recently learned that Hollow Earth is moving out of the 'hood and into the Central district.  But it's good news for them, for local musicians, and for indie music fans throughout the city.  From their recent press release: By moving to a publicly accessible station in Seattle's Central District,…

Grammatrain Shoots Music Video at Gas Works Park

Local post-grunge rock band Grammatrain is taking over Gas Works Park this Thursday to shoot a music video for their single, "The Last Sound."  If you're a season ticket holder for the Sounders, you've most likely heard "The Last Sound"  at Qwest Field before kickoff.  The Sounders adopted the song as their team anthem, and co-owner Drew Carey endorsed the song and pledged to help the band make a "proper video". Carey introduced the band to video producer Nik Venet, whose…
