Ball of Wax Volume 41 Release Show
With Puget Power, Cold Comfort, Future Fridays, Visceral Candy, and Brenda Xu
Friday, September 18, 9pm
Conor Byrne Pub
21+ / $8 (includes Ball of Wax 41 CD)
The 41st volume of Ball of Wax is in the works, and I gotta say, it’s a doozy. There’s no theme, but it’s chock-full of delightful new music – 22 new songs from old favorites and new friends, including the above-mentioned artists as well as Low Hums, Tomo Nakayama, Amy Blaschke, GreenhornBluehorn, The Kings – the first ska band to appear on BoW, which I find very exciting – and many more!
All of the bands playing the Volume 41 release show are new to the BoW family, which delights me (as much as I love all of our old friends and regulars). The only reason I’ve been able to do this for 10+ years is the neverending flow of great new music from friends and strangers near and far – it always thrills me to welcome new folks to the fold.
And what a bunch we have here! From the beautiful songcraft of Brenda Xu to the rump-moving sounds of Future Fridays and Seth Swift (of Soft Blows)’s Visceral Candy to the dueling (hi-fi vs lo-fi) pop stylings of Cold Comfort and Puget Power, the whole night will be just another example of what makes Ball of Wax (and Seattle music) so great. Join us!
