Lucy Bland at the Triple Door Musiquarium

Lucy Bland had a terrific couple of sets recently at the Triple Door Musiquarium here in Seattle. The crowd was good, foot traffic even better, and although the stage was tiny, they really got in there and played at crowd-level. Nice job!

Down to Sea Level Release Party

Last Wednesday night (3/19/08) I had the pleasure of attending Lucy Bland's excellent CD release party at the High Dive in Fremont. I'm not sure exactly how many people were there, but I have to say there were at least 200 people through the door when the band was on. The show was fantastic - the stage at the High Dive is big enough for everyone to get some visibility, and the sound guy who had started out as sort of a jerk earlier in the evening really got them sounding good even though they'd had no sound check.
They debuted a couple of new songs - Memory and Skyscraper - and the entire set was really upbeat and had a lot of energy. They did a terrific job (my photos don't do them justice), and I'm really excited to see their CDs for sale on CD Baby, iTunes, and at Easy Street, Cellophane Square and other places around town!!

Lucy Bland's Down to Sea Level releases 3/18!!

There's plenty of great news about Lucy Bland!!

Last Friday night they had a killer show at the Sunset in Ballard, and on 3/18 they will have a CD release party at the High Dive in Fremont.

Check their site for complete updates - and tour dates for the West Coast!!

Lucy Bland at Nectar

Lucy Bland played at Nectar tonight - and their show was a smash. They played for the first time since finishing their album (Down from Sea Level), and they used this show to introduce fans to their new drummer, Chris.
Their next show is at the Sunset Tavern - they headline on a Thursday night at the end of October, and I'm encouraging everyone to come out. Making the Sunset's a big deal for them, and it would be great for them to get a good show of support! Hope to see you there!

Not Self Promotion...

Folks, for those who can't get to Seattle to see my favorite local band - Lucy Bland - buy the EP or download from iTunes!

They played last night at Nectar after much airplay on KEXP (kexp.org), and they're scheduled to play at Chop Suey on 2/7.

What are they like? Great vocals, a Rhodes, a cello, beats and guitars - and the random accordion and trombone too. Think Zero 7, Iron and Wine, and the soundtrack to Garden State with a great warm swirly sound all around.

Their shows are listed on the Couch Calendar, but e-mail me if you have questions or want me to pick up an EP for you...
