Song of the Day
Pickwick – Lady Luck ft. Sharon Van Etten
It was such a proud moment to see Pickwick perform at the Seattle Mariners’ Opening Day the other night and now even more exciting with the release of this music video of Lady Luck featuring Sharon Van Etten. Great things are on the way for Pickwick – in fact they’ve been happening all along! So much love for this “Seattle Hipster Band!”
Caption of the Day:
I would love to meet the person who did this. Hilarious.
Yet still so much love for Pickwick!
Happy opening day y’all! And a win even though it’s premature at 9:36PM right now.
Out on the Town: 4/4
Happy CHBP Premiere Party! Even though we’ve already heard word of the partial lineup, I wonder if they will be revealing more artists at this event. If not – hi! Pickwick will be there. That’s wonderful in itself. For more details click here. Also, when did Neumos re-do their website? I suppose it has been awhile since I visited, but I am loving the minimalist vibe it has and the easier navigation.
It’s A Day For Seattle Music
I’ve been talking up two Seattle bands lately – Hey Marseilles and Pickwick. Today won’t be any different. Today, Hey Marseilles released their new album Lines We Trace everywhere and if you haven’t heard it yet, it is a must. I didn’t get a chance to fully listen to the album until I got home from work, but while I was parking my car this evening I heard their single “Bright Stars Burning” on the radio and instantly had a proud moment. It’s amazing to witness people doing the things they love and it’s beautiful! And to hear someone on the radio who you have previously worked with…surreal.
In Pickwick news, I was unable to make it to their in-store shows these past couple of days, but I did want to let you all know that you can stream their entire album set to be released on Tuesday, March 12. here. Working with Pickwick last year on Quadstock was an absolute dream. I’m always so blown away by Seattle artists and their kindness – not that I had any doubt – but in case you haven’t heard, sometimes musicians have a reputation. The members of Pickwick are just as sweet in person as they sound.
Out on the Town: 3/4 and 3/5
One of my favorite Seattle bands – Pickwick – is throwing down two free shows this week! To prepare them for their new album release Pickwick will be performing at Easy Street Records in West Seattle on March 4th at 7PM and at Sonic Boom Records on March 5th at 6PM. These two events are sure to be packed so arrive early otherwise you might miss out. Their first full-length album, Can’t Talk Medicine, will be released on March 12th. As if they didn’t have enough exciting news coming their way with these shows and their album, Pickwick has also landed the coveted spot of performing on the Mariners’ Opening Day April 8th. In previous years, Death Cab For Cutie and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have had that same privilege.

How To Ring In The New Year
photo cred | Mid By Northwest
Every time New Year’s Eve rolls around, I am a mess trying to come up with plans. In the past couple of years, I have ended up sick or running around aimlessly in Capitol Hill, but this year I will hopefully be celebrating in another city! And of course, the year I end up leaving – something BIG happens. One of my favorite local bands, Pickwick, will be ringing in the new year with a set at the Showbox Sodo and to be honest, if I weren’t leaving, this would be my plan.
Along with Pickwick, Portland’s own Radiation City and former Sound Off! winners Tomten will be joining the stage. And if that’s not enough fun for you – there will also be a pre-order package for sale that includes two drink tickets, party favors, and a signed poster by the band. For $50? Worth it.

School: 10 Favorite Posts
Earlier this afternoon, I received my school’s quarterly magazine and instantly missed everything about being back in school. This past week, I have been feeling all sorts of nostalgia. I wanted to be a freshman again. I wanted to see my friends. This time last year before class started, I was doing happy hours every day (not just for the drinks y’all! Happy hour food is my guilty pleasure.) It also didn’t help that some of my favorite professors that I’ve ever had were featured in this magazine’s issue too. So all of these mixed emotions led me to looking back on my college days and selecting my 10 favorite “school-themed” posts to highlight.
It’s time for a blast from the past! And when I say past, I mean three months ago.

Out on the Town: 7/4
It may be a little bit too early to secure plans for the 4th of July, but who doesn’t like to be prepared? For the past several years, I have been celebrating the 4th in or around Seattle. Last year, I think a few of my friends and I had watched the fireworks from underneath a freeway overpass by Volunteer Park. It’s not as sketch as it sounds. This year, however, I might just be having my very own adventure for the 4th for the first time in five years!
No word yet on what that might be, but regardless, Seattle is going to be bumpin’ this year.

Two of my favorite Seattle bands, Pickwick and Hey Marseilles will be performing for the 4th of July festivities at a popular spot for the holiday: Gasworks Park.
Make sure you get there early because these two bands are absolutely amazing.
