The Flavr Blue – 9-9:45PM – Neumos

Sorry y’all I dropped the ball yesterday on posting this preview post as we were with Dry Soda on Tuesday evening! As some of you know, I conducted an interview earlier this month with Hollis Wong-Wear and her group The Flavr Blue will be performing. They’ve been hard at work producing new tracks – one of which was a Song of the Day this week – but we can only imagine that the performance will be 10x better. Hollis is a talented young woman who has had many projects under her belt. This is a huge performance for the group and will transition well for them as they hit the stage at Bumbershoot over Labor Day Weekend.

Wild Cub – 9:45-10:30PM – Vera Stage

I’m not sure when or how I stumbled upon Wild Cub, but I found them on my Spotify playlist the other day and have been listening to them on rotation with all of my other tracks. If you’re looking for the soundtrack to your summer, Wild Cub is the answer.  Their tracks are easy to listen to, catchy, and will have the audience bobbing their heads along to the beat. The track I’ve featured above is just a sample to get you started, but I’m confident that by the end of their set Saturday, you’ll be a fan.

Pickwick – 10:30-12AM – Main Stage

It is a proud moment when you can see a local band that you’ve previously booked make it to the Main Stage of a music festival. I’ve enjoyed listening to Pickwick since I learned about them and with the release of their album “Can’t Talk Medicine” earlier this year and their local fan base, it makes complete sense to have them close out Saturday night at Block Party. Seeing them perform live for the first time at Bumbershoot was an experience I’ll never forget  and booking them at the music festival that I helped organize and hearing my own mother tell me she was a converted fan meant some serious stuff. Pickwick is truly a Seattle “Hipster” band (catch the Mariners reference?) and a band with a sound that can be enjoyed by everyone.
