*SOLD OUT*Clock-Out Lounge and Cloudbreak Music Festival Present:A Frames (reunion show)The Fall-OutsQuid Quo Saturday Nov. 11th 8:30pm 21+ $20adv/$23doshttps://www.subpop.com/artists/a_framesBirthed from the loins of punk noise outfits like Scratch Acid and The Cows and bottle-raised on The Screamers, Wire and Joy Division, Seattle band The A-Frames have always charted vaguely familiar yet drastically different territory in the art punk genre. At times their music is minimalist and almost droning, at others its angular, jarring and noisy. Needless to say the A Frames have never feared experimenting as they interpret their dark futuristic visions into music. https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Fall-Outs/100046872296520/https://quidquo.bandcamp.com/album/apaintedroomisasmallerroom

Clock-Out Lounge Presents:Mason LoweMedicine BowsSons of Ferdinand DJ Cray Friday August 18th Doors @ 8:30 21+$12adv/$15 dos https://masonlowe.bandcamp.com/album/morning-peopleMorning People was written and recorded by Mason Lowe in 2020 and 2021. Mason escaped to his basement to burn off the stress of work at a human services agency during a global pandemic.I had a lot on my mind and I dived into this work. This was a serious time, but the songs that came out are just poppy and fun. I dont know why. Im not sunshiny person. The drummer for Seattle band Bread and Butter Mason originally missed the camaraderie and collaboration, but it was also a little intoxicating to follow every musical idea as fast they came up and far as they would go. https://medicinebows.bandcamp.com/https://sonsofferdinand.bandcamp.com/

Vernons previous band SubRosa echoes in TheKeenings chamber doom, flowing with flute, strings, harp, French horn, piano, organ and hammered dulcimer. Ultra-melodic forays into haunted bogs, endless wells, secret crimes, jeweled cages and the unenviable curse of being a murder witness abound. Dark as this sounds, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.Rebecca Vernon was the owner, lead singer, guitarist and primary songwriter of SaltLake Citys acclaimed SubRosa. She ended that 13-year project in 2018 to focus on The Keening. Celebrated Engine-ear and bassist Billy Anderson collaborated with Vernon and Witch Mountain drummer Nathan Carson as co-producers on the recording of the album. A host of Portlands finest session musicians lent their talents to the album, including Andrea Morgan of Exulansis on violin. Anderson, Carson, and Morgan form the nucleus of Vernons new live backing band, as well.The Keening is primed to release this brand new album via Relapse Records in 2023.More information about the album will be made available in the weeks and months tocome.https://serpentent.bandcamp.com/http://www.annekoneill.com/https://tinyvipers.bandcamp.com/
Clock-Out Lounge Presents:Art Gray Noizz Quintet (NYC, ex-Lubricated Goat, Live Skull)Quid Quo And The Dim Locator (DJ) aka Adam Wakeling Tuesday August 8th 8:30 doors 21+ $15 adv/ $18 dos https://artgraynoizzquintet.bandcamp.com/album/the-art-gray-noizz-quintetSpearheaded by twisted Australian guitar legend Stu Spasm of Lubricated Goat, Crunt, and The Beasts Of Bourbon, The Art Gray Noizz Quintet were originally formed for an afterparty celebrating the New York City premiere of Amphetamine Reptile documentary The Color Of Noise. It was obvious I must assemble a supergroup of the finest noise rockers New York City had to offer, says Stu Spasm. First choice was basher extraordinaire Bloody Rich Hutchins, veteran of such explosive musical exports as Live Skull, Of Cabbages And Kings, and Ruin. Next, Skeleton Boy of Woman was recruited. Who, just as Leadbelly was the king of the twelve-string guitar, is himself the king of the two-string bass. Then came the twang, with the addition of suave slinger Andrea Sicco of Twin Guns. When our guitars merge, it forms a most piquant aural mlange. In a nod to the latter half of his birth name, Stu Spasm now became Art Gray, and an entirely new mess was born. The Art Gray Noizz Quintet have recently been witnessed onstage opening for kindred spirits such as The Scientists and Mudhoney, and 2019 saw them survive a successful tour of the West Coast. Catching the eye of no wave queen Lydia Lunch led to teaming up for a collaborative musical effort, and sharing a few stages including bookending the pandemic.https://quidquo.bandcamp.com/album/apaintedroomisasmallerroom
YES Music Productions presents -Fawns of Lovew/ Fotoform, SurrealizedThurs 7/20Doors 8pm, show 9pm$15 adv, $20 dos21+https://fawnsoflove.bandcamp.com/Fawns of Love is singer Jenny Andreotti and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Andreotti. Their new album titled Innocence of Protection (Kingfisher Bluez, Sunday Records) was written and recorded in the duos studio using Moog synthesizers and Eastwood Guitars. The album centers on the themes of innocence, frailty, and vulnerability. When explaining the themes of the album Jenny says, I think when we are children we use make believe as a creative outlet, but as we get older we use daydreaming as a tool of protection when we feel overwhelmed and as a way to have control over something. For this album I liked the idea of recreating what it feels like to float in and out of daydreaming and reality. While writing the songs both Jenny and Joseph were inspired by Cocteau Twins, The Pastels, Yukihiro Takahashi, Dalis Car, and New Order. Since the release of their critically acclaimed 2019 LP Permanent, Fawns of Love released Someday (Robin Guthrie Version) b/w Never Sing For Joy 7 (Kingfisher Bluez) and a second KXLU Part Time Punks radio session titled, Part Time Punks Session: Permanent Revisited 12 EP (Obeah Records) in 2020. With both releases they further evolved their post-punk ethos using Cocteau Twins inspired reverb drenched vocals along with New Order inspired guitar leads and sequences. Someday (Robin Guthrie Version) was recorded and mixed by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins, who created his own version of the track that originally appeared on the previously released Permanent LP (Test Pattern). Guthrie created an ethereal and earnest mood to his version of Someday by contributing multiple lush guitar tracks, bass guitar, keys, and drums which Grimy Goods wrote delivers twice as much ethereal wonder as the original.https://fotoform.bandcamp.com/Seattles Fotoform create beautiful, dreamy post-punk. New album, Horizons, out now! KEXP says: This Seattle bands second album is a well-crafted blend of post-punk and dream-pop with atmospheric guitars and synths, driving rhythms, ethereal vocals, hypnotic song hooks and lyrics of grief, love and loss. https://surrealized.bandcamp.com/Surrealized is a synthwave/future bass band composed of ethereal live vocal loops, danceable beats, and evocative synths, all wrapped in layers of strings, horns and psychedelic multi-media lights and visual projections. The brainchild of Kimo Muraki and Robert Sydow, Surrealized started in Seattle in the summer of 2009 as an experiment in combining wildly different genres for parties and festivals. Surrealizeds third release DENSITY is a collection of deeply felt material telling stories about time, change and the power of music, light and dance.
