When Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party, one of the Emerald City’s most heralded music festivals announced in April that the New York rock outlet SONIC YOUTH was going to be appearing at the street fest, it was the first time that a major band with origins outside of the Northwest had been invited and accepted to perform at the weekend-long gig.
As anticipation built for the show, reality set in that one of the most respected and well-liked groups of the last decade was going to be gracing the plywood make-shift stage in the intersection of Capitol Hill. And now with the show happening the weekend, the city has been whooped up into a frenzy.
This show, is going to be HOT!
As appearing at the festival is Deer Hunter, Gossip Beth Ditto, Black Lips, The Thermals and more.
