Doomtree If two’s company and three’s a crowd, then seven really is a lucky number, at least for Minneapolis hip-hop collective Doomtree. Each member-Cecil Otter, Dessa, Mike Mictlan, P.O.S., Sims, Lazerbeak, and Paper Tiger-has pursued his or her own career throughout the band’s 13-year history, but they’ve always contributed to one another’s projects. That spirit is evident on All Hands, Doomtree’s third and most collaborative album yet. None of the 13 tracks feature a lead artist, as the five MCs (Lazerbeak and Paper Tiger act as producer/CEO and DJ/producer/graphic artist, respectively) constantly pass the mike to give different perspectives of the same story. With Hellfyre Club, Transit. Neumos, 925 E. Pike St., 709-9442, neumos.com. 8 p.m. $17. All ages. Neumos, 925 E. Pike St., Seattle, WA 98122 $17 Monday, March 9, 2015, 8pm

Magmafest 2015 Magmafest 2015!

What is Magma Fest?

Magma Fest is a month-long all-ages festival presented by Hollow Earth Radio that celebrates independent music, sound art, and community radio at multiple venues around Seattle. The 8th annual Magma Fest is coming March 2015.

What is Hollow Earth Radio?

Hollow Earth Radio is the Pacific Northwest’s freeform online radio station that presents a forum for underrepresented music, sounds and perspectives. We support the local music community in Seattle, King County, Washington state, and the larger Pacific Northwest. Our focus is on found sound, field recordings, forgotten music, local musicians, bedroom recordings, low-fi demos, dreams, storytelling, and things that feel real. We expose works that have yet to be unearthed or have long been dormant. We acknowledge and celebrate raw talent and imperfections, and encourage bands who’ve never had their music air on a radio before to take a chance with us. Not only do we talk with musicians, but we talk with music supporters like small label owners, DIY venue curators & music bloggers to reveal the stories behind the art, and learn about the actual people involved in creating the music culture in our area. We encourage community participation and offer the local community access to training and knowledge on how to run a radio station.

Hollow Earth Radio’s “Going F.M.” Party

<2605> Religious Girls (Oakland, CA)

www.religiousgirls.bandcamp.com Using their talents, Religious Girls focus their energy into creating beautiful harmonies and layering them over intricate percussive rhythms. Preferring to play on the floor near listeners rather than a distant stage, they feel that no matter how high of quality a recording may be, the live set is what moves people, and therefore focus on creating intimacy with the crowd. These guys offer an intense and dramatic set, leaving viewers in awe by the end of each performance.

<2605> Great Spiders

www.soundcloud.com/great-spiders Great Spiders is the name of a musical project with material created solely by Omar Schambacher. Started in 2005, the name was taken from the book “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.” ‘Great Spiders’ originally refers to a medieval poison. Great Spiders is self-described as pop music, where no particular era or genre are exclusively inspirational. Melody, chordal flow, harmony, and production are what’s most important to Omar. “Lyrics are important, but are secondary to the sound” he says. Currently there is only one official Great Spiders release, ‘The Blues are Dead’ E.P. circa 2008. A follow-up record is nearing completion.

<2605> Gazebos

www.soundcloud.com/gazebos-1 “Seattle’s best band named after a yard structure (sorry not sorry, Fences), Gazebos are Shannon Perry (formerly of Butts), TV Coahran and Jordan T. Adams (formerly of Spurm), and Shane Herrell (of Bread & Butter). Think dancing and post-punk soaked in pink wine-soft angles, fall-apart endings, the good kind of nervous, the good kind of arty, and Perry channeling a more reasonable Amy Winehouse or someone reading a letter to themselves out loud while smoking a cigarette from one of those long holders. Their live shows are A+.” -The Stranger

<2605> bod

www.bodcamp.bandcamp.com/album/party-drug-2 Born from deep within the firm abdominal muscles of the Puget Sound region in late 2013, bod features members of BOAT, Cumulus, Oberhofer, and Slowwave. Bod’s sound is a vivid yet wide spectrum: the fuzzed-out growl of a diamond-encrusted theropod, lost like a lion in canyons of smoke; the baroque harmonies of the well-dressed and undead; the static and warble of a public broadcast ID; playful arabesque melodies gliding across a green screen image Saturn. Bod draws influences from late 90’s Bay Area art-rock, grunge, glam, minimalism, punk, kiwi pop, and recreational watercraft.
