Thursday
An art-punk-rock dance party led by Telepathic Liberation Army, Ononos and Glitterbang, followed by a continued dance party at the hands of Mathematix and Dewey Decimal?? YES PLEASE. This is an all-star line up people, if you care even in the slightest about Seattle’s leading creators, especially in the grunge-queer world, you won’t miss this. The black plague couldn’t keep me from an Ononos show, but with TLA too? and I haven’t seen Glitterbang yet as they are fresh off the grill, but have heard great things. I’m not even going to say anymore just DO IT. (Oh yeah and it’s TLA’s record release party!)

Still brought to you by the same family of artists and producers that brought you Tasty Shows, Hot Mess, Lemon Twist, Kiss My Ass, Spice, ARO.Space, Caliente and all kinds of messed up shit!
