Friday, May 15One of my biggest regrets is never starting my own radio show while matriculating at the University of Washington. At this point college radio is almost 50 years old, but it still feels as fresh and vital as it did in the days when KAOS and KCMU were educating the Northwest on what real music sounds like. Rainy Dawg Radio might not have a place on the dial like those influential stations, but the online station carries on the spirit. Tonight the student-run station celebrates its 12th Birthday Fest, featuring Isaiah Rashad, Wampire, One Above Below None, Naked Giants, SNUFF REDUX, and Richie Dagger’s Crime. Sylvan Grove Theater/The Columns, UW campus, rainydawg.org. 5 p.m. Free. All ages. DIANA M. LETerminal goofballs Seacats are trying their hand at being highbrow. The boys have written a play called Seacats Forever. It’s an evolution many comic actors have attempted, but the outcome is uncertain. It could fall in the wonderful space between funny and dramatic (Jim Carrey in The Truman Show), or it could be a straight-up masterpiece (Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). It could also totally suck (Jim Carrey in The Number 23). With Elch, Sun Dummy. Hollow Earth Radio, 2018 E. Union St., 588-5437, hollowearthradio.org. 8 p.m. All ages. DMLAbout three years ago, the Everett Music Initiative was created to bring more live music to downtown Everett. That’s right, Everett. Last year’s inaugural Fisherman’s Village Music Festival, the Initiative’s flagship project, was a surprising success. As far as I’m concerned, they’ve already knocked it out of the park this year with a lineup that includes some SW staff favorites: Say Hi, So Pitted, Telekinesis, Fauna Shade, Ravenna Woods, Prom Queen, Deep Creep, and Led to Sea. Downtown Everett, thefishermansvillage.com. Fri.–Sun. $30–$49. All ages. DMLAfrocop is my tangerine dream come true. For real. Get these guys a future dystopian neo-noir film to score posthaste. The band’s meandering, forlorn laser-jazz, if you will, conjures images of hardboiled nights in mega-cities where the only light comes from e-cigarettes and handheld personal computers. On second thought, maybe Afrocop is just scoring the here and now. The Triple Door, 216 Union St., 838-4333, thetripledoor.net. 9 p.m. No cover. 21 and over. WLSaturday, May 16For the past couple of years, Brite Lines has been popping up in the odd weekday slot at local clubs, posting a goofy video here, releasing an endearing ballad there, and at times in their live show achieving a blistering, if somewhat unwieldy, energy that is too uncommon in the roots scene that bore them. The whole thing felt a little precarious, to be honest. Yet with the release of its debut, When We Arrive, the band shows it is capable of a sustained effort with a quirky yet very serious collection of pop songs filled with equal parts urgency and heart. A band to watch, for sure. With The Weather, Unlikely Friends. Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave., 441-4618, thecrocodile.com. 8 p.m. $12 adv. 21 and over. MBBack in the mid-’90s, before Death From Above 1979, Lightning Bolt, or even the White Stripes, Local H was the first two-piece modern-rock band on the scene. I was all, like, “This is just a drummer and guitarist? That’s the bomb!”(That’s how everyone talked back then.) But man, they really packed a punch. They were on the harder side of alternative—they weren’t out to make friends with the Gin Blossoms- or Better Than Ezra-lovers. They fit right in with that Toadies or Shudder to Think vibe. With Battleme and Shiver Twins. El Corazon, 109 Eastlake Ave. E., 262-0482, elcorazonseattle.com. 9 p.m. $13 adv./$15 DOS. 21 and over. WL
