Our featured artist, Hexxus, is playing at El Corazon tonight with the Sky Electric, A Hope For Home, To the Wind, and Alive Through Love. The show starts at 5:00, and will cost $12 at the door. See you all there!

Chris Pastras and Jason Lee are the founders of the Stereo Sound Agency, and they will be at the Bellevue Square Zumiez hanging out and signing autographs on March 14th! Jason Lee is in My Name is Earl and Mall Rats (lolz @ him doing a mall signing).

Stereo Sound Agency was founded in 1992 by Lee and Pastras, and they pride themselves on being an innovative skate company that puts the creativity back into skateboarding. Check out their website for more information.

I am so excited for Sasquatch this year! Minus the Bear, MGMT, Portugal. The Man, CITY AND COLOUR, Massive Attack, Vampire Weekend, and Passion Pit are just a few artists playing, and... did I mention that I am excited? Minus the Bear and City and Colour playing the SAME FESTIVAL and it's not a 4000 mile drive away. AHHH!!!

Moving on...

The festival is on May 29th, 30th, and 31st, and here is a complete list of the artists who are playing:

Saturday, May 29th
My Morning Jacket / Vampire Weekend / The National / Deadmau5 / Broken Social…

The dudes of Still Life Still have released a video for one of their (only) nonsexual songs, and it's on AOL video now.

Be sure to read our review of Still Life Still's album Girls Come Too (see what I mean about sexual?).

Also, the band will be playing a show at Chop Suey THIS SUNDAY (Valentine's Day) with Wild Beasts, who I have not heard, but their name is pretty sweet so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Casual Industrees are a clothing company based out of Seattle (a garage on Alki would be a little more specific), and all of their designs are related to the northwest. Check out their website to see what Casual Industrees is about.

In honor of the Seattle Supersonics being relocated to other, less exciting cities, Casual has just released this t-shirt:

I think the design is pretty self-explanatory. Order now before it sells out!

Check out the contest that Destiny Worldwide are running from today until Friday! One winner will be chosen each day, and will receive a DW prize pack filled with t-shirts and CDs.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misquoted; Less Avenged needs code monkeys to add to their development team. It's an "on-site, full time salaried position. 40 hrs/wk with great benefits" located in Pioneer Square.. Who wouldn't want to work there?

Internship positions are also available, so even if you don't know JavaScript, PHP, or MySql (or how to make the perfect Jack and Coke, apparently), you might still have a shot.

If you are unfamiliar with Less Avenged check out their website-- or our website, for that matter, because they designed the page…

Day one was (apparently) a huge success. As usual, I have to work, so Bumbershoot will not be seeing me this year.

Check out the schedule online here, and feel free to submit any pictures or stories from Bumbershoot 2009! If we get enough submissions I will make a compilation of everything and post it on the site for everyone to read.

Send everything to kelly@raincityambience.com. I hope to hear from a lot of you!! And credit will be given where credit is due.

So... my apologies for having not posted in a bit. We've been fairly busy working away in the studio and just finished the final touches in time to released this B-side from the last album for free download on our myspace! its called Motor Truck City and you need to go listen to it RIGHT NOW!

On another note, we are playing the Vans Warped Tour in Portland tomorrow with our Seattle buddies Girl On Fire and Aiden at the Ernie Ball Stage. If you are driving down, or live in Portland area, come party with us!…

The ever so popular Seattle Tattoo Expo is this weekend. August 7-9th at the Seattle Center. I've never been but I'd imagine it to be fun. Who doesn't want to go get tattooed by some of the best artists in the country?

Who wants to get matching tattoos? Omgz. Or how about RCA tattoos. Let's all go get RCA tattoos!

Or not. But anyway, tattoo expo, this weekend, fun stuff. If you've been thinking about going to get a tattoo, this is your chance. There's going to be a ton of bands playing, so that alone is worth checking out.

There's nothing that excites me more than eating (I have a sweet blog coming up that is also related to food), so there should be no reason for me to not go to the Bite of Seattle this weekend, right?!

WRONG.

Turns out I have/had to work all weekend, and the only way I am going to get to go chow down on some delicious/expensive treats is if I get up at 8, take the light rail to Seattle (it opened today), eat, leave, then drive to work by noon. Considering it is already 1 o'clock in the morning and…

There's really no place I would have rather been than at Sasquatch this weekend, but seeing as I couldn't convince myself to cough up the money until a week before the event (and I didn't want to request a press pass until the new site was up- at which point it was too late to even ask... though I did anyway and got denied), I was not able to attend. Fortunately for me, Memorial Day weekend is never dull in Seattle, and to replace the void that was created by the lack of Sasquatch-age, I went to Folklife (and Pike…
