Band in Seattle live television taping with Tango Alpha Tango and The Malady of Sevendials
What's more Seattle than supporting your local businesses? Supporting your local musicians, that's what. So be a responsible Northwestern-er and get yourself down to Victory Studios for the taping of our next episode of Band in Seattle with artists Tango Alpha Tango and The Malady of Sevendials on July 1st, 2016. Each band will perform a 45-minute concert, followed by a filmed interview and music trivia webisode, sponsored in part by American Music. Front doors open at 6PM at Victory Studios, 2247 15th Avenue West (near the Interbay Golf Center) and the concert ends approximately
The Malady of Sevendials: I am OBSESSED with this new(ish) 3 piece from Ranier Valley called "Malady of The Sevendials". Jodi Ecklund hit me up after seeing their stunning set for the 1st time at Chop Suey on Sunday. The band of siblings practice (and record) in the family's garage after school. Their sound is not exactly the common faire of the Ranier area which thrives in hip hop/R&B. Is it shoe-gazing? Maybe. I hear it more as a study of the guitar as any instrument OTHER that the guitar (bees, chainsaws, humming, the vacuum cleaner). Sure, bands like Sigur Rós and Explosions in the Sky are obvious as a reference point, however those bands arent an easy listen for the young, unrefined ear. Or so I thought. Young ones: Mia Natas (Vox/uitsr) 19 years old Darrius Natas (Bass) 18 years old Damien Natas (Drums) 11 years old This entire project is mind blowing..,. Esp considering that they started the band 4 years ago when they were 15, 14 and 7. Word on the street is that Jack Endino is producing their debut record. -Marco Collins
Tango Alpha Tango: Portlands Tango Alpha Tango is best experienced amid a crowded room of sweaty guitar junkies. Logically, then, a well-mixed live album is the next greatest thing. Captured last year at local recording space Banana Stand, the performance delivered by the quartet tackles a sprawling beast in 12 songs. From the first bluesy electric-guitar riff in Kill & Haight to the gritty energy of Black Cloud, the record not only translates frontman Nathan Truebs ability to write a good tune and dominate a guitar neck, but also the bands flawless fusion of blues and rock with funky bass lines and psychedelic keys. Trueb explores his folkier singer-songwriter side on Desert Snow, a song composed simply of his scratchy, worn-in voice and supplementary fingerpicking. But with nearly half the songs on the set list running eight minutes or longer, many of the albums gems surface when Trueb cracks them open with his guitar. In lengthy tracks like the trippy In My Time of Dying and the driving rock jam Mona Lisas Death, the frontman disassembles ideas, draws out phrases and slowly builds them up again. Although the album doesnt quite hit with the impact of experiencing the band in the flesh, it comes pretty damn close. EMILY BOOHER, WILLAMETTE WEEK
