Arts Ariel Pink… and you?
Are you a fan of home-tape maestro Ariel Pink, who is playing Chop Suey next Monday, Feb. 13? And are you a member of a local band, who would welcome the chance to learn one (or even a couple) of Mr. Pink’s songs - your choice - from any of his albums, and perform with him during his Seattle show? If so, e-mail tour publicist Katy Martineau, katy@fanaticpromotion.com, and express your interest ASAP. Many of the other dates on his tour have had numerous applicants, but for some reason, no Emerald City candidates have come forth. WTF, people? His latest album, House Arrest, is full of twisted, idiosyncratic pop gems - somebody in this burg should be up to whipping at least one of them into decent shape, in time to give Ariel an onstage assist.
BSP ahead: Look for Dave Segal's enlightening feature on Ariel Pink in this week's Stranger. (Although the photo's the best thing about the piece.)
