Seattle Artist Narboo

I love Narboo. I saw a show of his at the Crocodile a couple of years ago, and another recently in a group show, at The Vera Project. You can check out some of his work on his flicker stream here, or his blogspot blog here.

No One And The Somebodies and TURBOSLEAZE at The Vera Project in Seattle

Tonight we went to see No One And The Somebodies at The Vera Project in Seattle. It was actually a twofer--because they also appeared later as their side project band TURBOSLEAZE. Last night, we went to see the Greenwood All Stars at a block party in Ballard/Greenwood. It's been a rockin' week.

I was probably the oldest person there by a factor of 2x. It was a good show. They are a band from the Bronx that my second cousin in law Sophia highly recommended (they are friends of hers). They were quite funny, and their tunes have a lot of rather hilarious false endings. The TURBOSLEAZE part of the show reminded me somewhat of Frank Zappa.. Kimi Dawson (of Juno soundtrack fame?) and Paleface also played.
