The end of the June Tour of Seattle Festivals

Last weekend we started off our June Tour of Seattle with a lovely afternoon show at the Fremont Fair where a very enthusiastic gentleman danced to a good portion of our set in a style which I will call The Rooster Ballet. A few of our friends joined him in a dance or two, after which my friend Mel said, "He touched my chest."





That night we played in a pure rawk-n-roll line-up with SHIM and Pipsisewah. There was no chest touching reported despite the dancing that I witnessed.

So, what's in store this weekend? Here's the agenda:

- Saturday, June 27 at 7:30 PM - we're playing at the Georgetown Music Fest which is a part of Seattle Weekly's Aropia Festival. There are many quality local bands playing that day, so you should bring your camping chair, grab a beer and a bag a peanuts, and check the whole thing out. The Seattle Weekly wrote a nice little piece about the show and the Hellgate Club for Musically Advanced Ladies and Gentlemen - read it here.

- Sunday, June 28 at 7:15 PM - I (Jamie) am playing a solo acoustic set at the Bend-it Festival at the Vera Project. What's Bend-it? In their words, "Bend It is a queer artist activist collective that makes the world a more fabulous place by building welcoming, liberated spaces, strengthening community, and creating meaningful alternatives for queer young people and their friends. " Sounds nice, yeah?
So now that the June Seattle tour is wrapping up, what's next for HIFH? Glad you asked - we're going to record Issue 2 of the Club demos in my garage, experimenting with micing in the vaulted ceiling. It will either sound cool or like we're playing in an empty morgue. I'll keep you posted. I'm hoping to have Issue 2 ready by our 7/11 Anacortes show, but we'll definitely have the new goodies for you on 7/23 at the Comet.

I'll leave you with a couple more pictures from last weekend:
