It’s been a pretty good year but that doesn’t mean I want it to stick around any longer than it needs to. I’m not gonna lay some trip on you about hope for change in the New Year. The only thing I hope for in the New Year is fewer hangovers. And world peace.

Anyways, here are some good reasons to get out this weekend. Or for you go get off the couch on Saturday night. Besides, couches are for making out on, not sitting on. And sleep? Sleep is for suckers…

Friday, December 28th:

From the North
High Dive
From the North is Shawn Smith and Kevin Wood. FTN released an EP earlier this year, Von Nord, and a full-length on Wammybox Records, The Monument. Wammybox (Kevin Wood’s label) has got some choice Malfunkshun and Andrew Wood swag.

Blood Hag
The Comet

Knut Bell & The Blue Collars
The Little Red Hen
Two show as usual for Knut at TLRH. It’s the perfect remedy to your Friday hangover. Every time.

Saturday, December 29th:

The Earaches
Autolite Strike
The Bug Nasties
The Fucking Eagles
Close out the year with four bands that go BOOM. Team Cherrybomb will close out the year with the most visits to the High Dive ever in one year. Okay, I wasn’t really counting but where were you? On the couch? Again? Whore on a hot tin roof I think you need an intervention. That couch is dragging your ass down. And it’s wider than I remember. Your ass that is. Autolite Strike is on right at 9:00 and is not to be missed so get there early.

The Maldives (acoustic)
The Sunset Tavern

Sunday Night Blackout
Jules Maes

Sunday, December 30th:
Wu-Tang Clan (!)
Cancer Rising
Dyme Def
Furious Styles
Cancer Rising’s “Truckin” is my favorite local jam for this year. Of the hip-hop variety anyway. Hitting this show will guarantee that your New Years celebration will last about 48 hours.

As far as New Year’s Eve goes (or amateur night), you’re on your own. Cherrybomb is taking a little holiday break. Besides, I’m gonna need at least two days to prepare and two days to recover for NYE here in Seattle. Lastly, I want to thank you all for reading. Seriously. I feel you.

See you next year…
