The Lashes confirmed on Bumbershoot schedule

[blogger update: I changed the blog title to better represent the situation. They've been on the Bumbershoot schedule. I just wasn't sure they were *still* on the schedule, due to Eric's medical situation]

Hat tip to The Stranger's Lineout blog for this:

The Lashes are playing Bumbershoot next weekend, it will be the band’s first show since guitarist Eric Howk was hospitalized and left paralyzed from the sternum down after a tragic accident in May.

Howk will apprently be part of the line up at Bumbershoot.


I know this ain't Eric. It's just a Lashes photo that I like.

Meta-question about Lineout

Does anyone have insight as to the origin and reason for the Lineout's ongoing Bell Bottom Bliss post series? They've been doing it all summer, and initially I thought it was to lead up to a show or something. But, now I realize it's been going on long enough to not be.

It's not like there's a shortage of good, current local music toward which that energy could be focused!

Random stuff from the Lineout blog

The folks over at the Stranger have a few items of interest thusfar on the Lineout Blog this week:

1. A conversation about the best Beach Boys song.

2. Information about the payola settlement that came down.

3. A link to a free Wilco download.
