The Softies, Seapony, and Lisa Prank
(MUSIC) I shrieked once I noticed this lineup! The Softies are probably the greatest, most underrated bands of the ’90s. Rose Melberg (Tiger Lure, Gaze, Go Sailor) and Jen Sbragia began the delightfully saccharine indie pop undertaking again in 1994 with a handful of information on Olympia’s Ok Data and Oakland’s Slumberland Data. Their debut album It is Love is pure pop perfection with mild jangly guitars, breathy harmonies, and diary entry-esque lyrics. Belief me, I listened to plenty of twee pop as a teen, and none of it holds up for me the way in which the Softies do. The pair disbanded in 2000, however fortunately, they’ve reunited for a handful of PNW reveals this 12 months. Do not miss opening units from indie pop gems Seapony and Lisa Prank.

Stephanie Syjuco: After/Photos

In Stephanie Syjuco: After/Photos, the artist considers the digital camera, describing it as a “expertise of imperialism that information and creates racialized American histories.” The exhibition’s reconstructed archival images, movies, and installations middle the US occupation of the Philippines, American colonization abroad, and the troubling ideology of Manifest Future.

Then I found her beautiful baking Instagram, which showcases fluffy domed pavlovas, vibrant blood orange pies, and dreamy pastel cross-sections of baked Alaskas.

John Early: The Album Tour
;
(COMEDY) I will be sincere: Most of my information of John Early comes from my diehard obsession together with his longtime inventive collaborator, Kate Berlant. However when you’re something like me (obsessive about alt comedians like Berlant, Jacqueline Novak, Tim Heidecker, Joe Pera, Jo Firestone, and so forth.) then Early wants no introduction. The absurdist visionary with a glittery, determined gleam in his eyes will go to Seattle with iced espresso in tow. (The Showbox, 1426 First Ave, 8 pm, $45-$50, all ages) LINDSAY COSTELLO
