Sara, Paige, Mollie, and I hit the KEXP BBQ last Saturday. I just have to say, what the hell Seattle? This is August. August is Greek for "we promise you sun".
The downpour was, excuse the pun, anything but august. Still - the lineup tried hard to keep us warm. We arrived in time to spy Common Market rip through his set, stopping one song in the middle of it as the rain gushed down all around us, noticing his line, "There's nothing better than a summer in the northwest" wasn't quite applying. Joseph Arthur sounded great and the headliner, The Dandy Warhols, made everyone bounce around in the grassy mud with joy.
Hard to believe, but despite being a financial supporter of KEXP, this was my first summer BBQ. I had a blast - thanks to everyone at the Worlds Greatest Radio Station for putting on such a great show, despite the weather.
