So last night the Go! Team played their third show in three days (their second in Seattle after the KEXP BBQ Sunday) to a packed house at Neumo’s. My favorite part of the show, though, were the openers, the Saturday Nights, who in my humble opinion should be the next Seattle band to break out of Seattle (they’re shopping for a label right now…. I’ll post a link to their site soon as they finish creating it). What band these days mixes pop, girl groups, hiphop, the Pixies, and humor like these guys? They were totally on last night too, despite DJ Suspense performing with a fractured foot. They were also lucky, though, to play early. By the time the Go! Team hit the stage, the crowd was sardined in, the temp. was over 100 degrees, and the ceiling was literally dripping with sweat. I couldn’t stick it out after that.

ps. Another local band doing well lately… The Emergency, who you can hear on 107.7 the End’s morning show this Friday. KEXP has really been playing a lot of the soulful garage band, too… Check out the Emergency’s MySpace page to hear what kinda sonic gems these guys have in store.
