Let’s not neglect the hometown show. It’s the one after the Pacific Northwest Mega Tour! It’s the last one of the year!
Saturday, 9/3
Bottom of the Hill
9p
$10, 21+
The Definite Articles
Passenger & Pilot
Blonde Summer
I know many of you are going to be in the desert or out of town, but otherwise? Seriously. You should come to this show.
I’m not gonna lie: the people putting this on made a flier of their own, but it’s impossible to get in the right resolution because Facebook event photos aren’t clickable, so I made one because I needed to put a flier here and why not.
So: yes, Portland! Friday!
Langano Lounge
1435 SE Hawthorne Blvd
Le Roy Jerome (90’s electro R & B) / 6 pm
The Definite Articles (that’s us) / 7 pm
The Golden Hours (vintage pop) / 8 pm
Pocketknife (indie dance) / 9 pm
Dirty Mittens (portable party) 10 pm
Purple and Green (digital funk) 11 pm
The Mo’ DJs Mo’ Problems DJ Crew afterwards
All of these for the frankly unbelievable price of $3. What else were you going to do with your night?
This will be the last one for a while. We’ll have just returned from our Pacific Northwest Mega Tour, and this show will be a combination of “Welcome home!” and “We’re taking a little time off!”

Those of you who have come to see us at our local shows in the past few months: you are awesome. But you should know that we’ve been working on a couple of … surprises, so you might want to check out this last one. That’s all I can safely tell you.
Seattle, there are some places where everybody goes to bed at 8p on Sunday night. We hope you’re not one of those places. In fact, we hope you’re in the mood to see some excellent music in a couple of weekends:
Sunday 8/28
High Dive
513 N 36th St #G
8p, $6
with Lazer Kitty and Jamie Hawkins (whose google results are somewhat nebulous; sorry, dude)
If you show up on time, that just means we get to hang out more with you. It’s win-win!
Pretend you’re a private eye on a promising new case: this is it. The big one. But all you’ve been given is a date and a place. Just show up, and you’ll be richly rewarded. Richly, I say!
Saturday 8/27
The 4th Ave
210 4th Avenue East
There is nothing that could possibly go wrong.
I’ll have an update on who else we’re playing with, what time the show starts, and what the door charge is, but you know the important stuff already. You’ve got nothing to lose, Olympia. We’ll see you in two weeks.
All right, Portland! What are you up to a couple of Fridays from now? This isn’t a test or a quiz; the answer is right here:
You’re coming to see us, aren’t you. Aren’t you!
Friday, 8/26
Langano Lounge
1435 SE Hawthorne Blvd
Here’s the lineup; it’s a doozy:
Le Roy Jerome (90’s electro R & B) / 6 pm
The Definite Articles (that’s us) / 7 pm
The Golden Hours (vintage pop) / 8 pm
Pocketknife (indie dance) / 9 pm
Dirty Mittens (portable party) 10 pm
Purple and Green (digital funk) 11 pm
Door charge is $3. That’s less than a coffee in some places. Come see what we’re cookin’!
Thanks to everyone who came to the Rickshaw Stop last week; know that in our hearts, you are at the top of the list, even if we don’t know your names. You can see the rest of the photos here, courtesy once again of the inestimable Finch.
Any of you not in the Bay Area — or are in the Pacific Northwest, specifically — should stay tuned for some interesting news.
Current band personnel arrangements demand that some of us switch instruments occasionally. Okay, I guess by “some of us” I mean me and Shawn. Tonight, watch me play no less than three instruments (four if you count my mellifluous voice), though not simultaneously.
Yet.
Rickshaw Stop! 8p! $10! All ages!
