GTFO: King Cobra Takes Over Seattle…
Wendy’s back and so are you…
I don’t know about you, but my ears and liver are still recovering from Mos Generator and the DT’s last Friday. Wonder Woman is on her way to Colorado to fight injustice but before she left, WW gave all her records (around 200) to Cherrybomb. It’s like heavy metal Christmas in Cherrybomb’s house right now. My turntable is hot and I got the Aqua Net pink can out. Spandex might also be involved but you’ll never know. Anyways, one of the best things to happen to Seattle in a while, the King Cobra has got some of the best bills in the city this weekend and into March. Now get ready to flash your devil signs and Get The Fuck Out…

The Hands – The Hands (self-titled 2008) out NOW!
The Hands (cd release)
The Earaches
The Whore Moans
Neumo’s
I love The Hands. Every time I hear something off this new record I get sticky fingers. I mean, listen to Sticky Fingers. Wow, that was an awkward silence. And while I know I’m not the first person to make this comparison, but it’s inescapable. Anyways, Cherrybomb wouldn’t miss this show for anything. Which means you shouldn’t either. Got it?
Saturday, March 1st:
Neon Nights
King Cobra
Looking Ahead…:
The best of Thin Lizzy at King Cobra – March 20th
March 7th, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club will be at The Showbox In The Lounge. SCAC new record Cipher comes out on Alternative Tentacles, March 25th. On Saturday, March 8th, The Detroit Cobras and The Blakes will be at The High Dive. If I have to tell you this is one sweet bill, you know nothing about music. And since I started this post telling you King Cobra it taking over Seattle, here is more proof. KC will hold the first installment of monthly benefit shows for Music Cares on March 20th with The Cops, North Twin and Sunday Night Blackout. The Cobra twist on this one is all the bands are covering Thin Lizzy. For the love of Gary Moore the King Cobra is throwing down the gauntlet of boozy, musical excellence. Other clubs might take a hint…
Metal Goddess Doro Pesch and Warlock. Triumph and Agony – pure 1987…
Doro Pesch will be at Studio 7 on April 4th. Doro is a living legend like Lemmy only way better looking in leather. Doro used to front the band Warlock. And if you just yelled “WARLOCK!” then you already have tickets for this show…
The Sword – Gods of the Earth out April 8th
The Sword will be at Neumo’s on Tuesday, April 22nd. Gods of the Earth is due out in early April but you can get the import now here. On Thursday, April 24th, Simian Mobile Disco will bring a truck load of turntables and some heavy beats to Neumo’s
Mick Jones of The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite and Carbon/Silicon
Carbon/Silicon (Mick Jones of The Clash and Tony James of Generation X) touring the US this summer with stops in Boston and LA. C/S will hit Seattle and Neumo’s on March 23rd. Devotchka will also tour the US after their gypsy train rolls through Europe and the UK this Spring. The 16 date US tour will stop in Boston and Chicago as well as the Coachella Festival in April. Devotchka does The Showbox (SoDo) on May 3rd.
48 hours and counting till Friday. Unless of course you start right now…
