9pm, $7. This is also a benefit for Real Change Newspaper.
Presented by: Nadamucho.com

National press & radio campaign is underway, so if you live near a decent independent radio station, start politely calling & requesting the tunes!

First review:”Making lasting, politically-minded rock music without sounding didactic is nearly impossible. At the Spine have been bravely walking that fine line over the course of two solid albums, and find the perfect balance their third time around with Sonic Resistance.” (Editor, NadaMucho.com, April 2007).

THE TOUCHERS: The Underwater Fascist
In their own words: “In the banal,bloated and completely corporate modern (rock) horse shit that is supposedly alternative or indie, one finds little hope for anything original and full of hate for the mainstream and its culture of doom and class warfare. Rising from the voluptuous mountains of Montana comes The Touchers, carrying the ethics and ideals of the late seventies early eighties punk scene. FUGAZI, NATION OF ULYSSES, MINUTEMEN, FLipper–minor threat, BLACK FLAG, DEAD KENNEDYS, the Stooges and X. Ramones, heartbreakers, Daniel Johnston, tom waits and the butthole surfers, Frank Black, etc so we have a twang and a taste of johnny cash and Willie Nelson but the Fury of THE Jesus Lizard or the melvins.”

Enough said? BUY THIS ALBUM NOW AT: CDBABY! Catch them live on tour. This music will make you dance.

MARCH/APRIL 2005

SHOWS

Thursday, April 28, 2005
See it First Showcase
See It First, with Plan B, At the Spine, Fey Ray, Touchdown Eagle
Neumo’s Crystal Ball and Reading Room
925 East Pike St
Seattle, Wa 98122
21 and up
Doors 8p, Show 9p

Another gloriously diverse bill filled with the best in emerging Seattle bands. Touchdown Eagle may just be the best band K Records never signed. They’ll lead things off at NadaMucho.com’s 10th See it First showcase at Neumo’s on April 28. Their beautifully simple/sweet indie rock boy/girl harmonies will segue nicely into the slightly more aggressive tone of Fey Ray, a group of accomplished players who deliver smart indie-rock with glorious vocals and sometimes complex song structures. At the Spine will crank the volume up yet another notch as the edgy three-piece tears through tracks from its recently-released sophomore album First Day of Spring. The band mixes Fugazi guitars with edgy precision, loud/soft dynamics and tuneful songwriting. SXSW/CMJ graduates Plan B will cap the night off with a sweaty, funky, instrumental hip-hop dance party that calls to mind DJs Shadow and Krush without blatantly mimicking either.
