GTFO: Female Zombie Trouble…
Wendy O does not care about wearing white after Labor Day…
Okay, I’m running behind as usual so I’ll be brief. So where was I. Hmm…oh yeah.
Get The Fuck Out!
Friday, October 24th:
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
Showbox Market
The only thing that might make Ted Leo cooler is if he were actually a Pharmacist.
Trannyshack!
Trannyshack Seattle
Chop Suey
Jackie Hell, Ursula Android, Peaches Christ and more Tranny’s than you can shake your stick at. Insert your joke here…oh wait, I just did it for you.
The McInros.
The McInros
Red Line (West Seattle)
The McInros say they admire the bands namesake, John McEnroe’s attitude on the court. Which of course translates to sometimes angry, sometimes sad but really good rock ‘n’ roll.
Champagne, Champagne and Grayskul
High Dive
I love Champagne and Champagne, Champagne.
John McCain says he is older than Frankenstein and dirt. Take that, uh…nevermind.
Frankenstein Double Feature! Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein
Siff

Omar Torrez

The Lewd (San Fran)
Tom Price Desert Classic (ex-Gas Huffer)
The Funhouse
This is a show you do not want to miss. I know you trust me, but seriously, trust me on this one. Do not miss this show.
Sunday, October 26th:
Conor Oberst, Jenny Lewis
Showbox at the Market
You don’t really need me to tell you this is one of the best bills to roll through Seattle this year. I absolutely love Jenny Lewis’ new record Acid Tongue almost as much as I love the title track of her new record. Oberst, who also performs as Bright Eyes, released a new record with a new band called the Mystic Valley Band (which includes Nate Walcott from Bright Eyes) in August. The surprisingly upbeat track “I Don’t Want To Die (In a Hospital)” has lived on my iPod ever since.
Halloween Recommendations:
At this years Freak Night, you can catch Moby doing a DJ set and The Crystal Method live. If you loved the Moby’s most recent record, Last Night, and followed the press he did in support of the record, you know that Moby really immersed himself in the hip-hop/DJ club scene. You can hear the vocal styling of Grandmaster Caz, of The Cold Crush Brothers, a band that helped touch off all things, Hip-Hop on Last Night.
Neon Nights will be at The Comet Tavern and Dudley Manlove will be at The Sunset on Halloween. WowweeWowweeWowWow. Decisions, decisions…
Zombie Prom at the King Kat Theater!
Zombie Prom with The Staxx Brothers will be, without a doubt, one of the craziest events in Seattle on Halloween. Get your tickets now and then get to the historic The King Kat Theater for a night of burlesque, booze and awesome, soul-stealing music.
Dawn Davenport will kick your ass!
The Central Cinema will be showing John Waters 1974 movie, Female Trouble. Also, if you are so goulishly inspired, make your own 10 minute Horror film and submit it to the folks at Central Cinema and it might get shown on the big screen.
Now that should be more than enough to give you a reason to Get The Fuck Out this weekend as well as be sure your Halloween is groovy. I’ll have some more in the coming days leading up to Halloween next Friday. Be advised, there won’t be a full-on GTFO next Friday as, well, yours truly is gonna be pretty fucking busy.
Now, Get The Fuck Out…
