Thu Feb 6 The Drowns
The Drowns! Punk! Proud Seattleites The Drowns have it all: soaring guitars, shout along worthy tunes, power chords, and old school swagger. The Drowns have played all over the world, despite the relative newness of the band. It should be no surprise that these boys are actually veteran rockers, past bands include Madcap, who aren't afraid to age into street punk. The Drowns' sound harkens back to the good ol' days of the early 2000s, and fans of both underground acts (think: the Pinehurst Kids) or the big bands (like Saves The Day or Ted Leo) will love it.

Share the pain, the awkwardness, the necking, the dry humping, the wretched love poems. This one is not to be missed! Plus contests and giveaways! Hailed as a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and celebrated for years by the likes of This American Life, The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, & Entertainment Weekly, Mortified is a comic excavation of teen angst artifacts (journals, poems, letters, lyrics, home movies, schoolwork) as shared by their original authors -- in front of total strangers!
