Saturday, SHIM, Spokane, six bucks … Seriously
If you need something to do this weekend, I’ve got a pretty good suggestion for ya.
As many of you may have heard in blog testimonies by my friends Travis Hay and Brent Stecker, Seattle band SHIM is (as the saying goes) the new black. And they have not steered you wrong.
In the interest of full disclosure, I attended Wenatchee High School with two of the band members. I worked on the school newspaper with vocalist-guitarist Ragan Crowe and vaguely remember being in the same room as Mike Notter on at least one occasion. Amazing to think that a couple of dudes from Wenatchee, with whom I’ve likely shared air, produce this quality of rock — the kind of rock that makes me wonder why they haven’t yet received Zeppelin-level accolades.
On one hand, this is sad. It means SHIM isn’t getting the recognition it so deserves (these guys were obviously born to rock, to the point that I’ve concluded they did not grow their long hair and sideburns, the long hair and sideburns grew them simply for the sake of creating rock). On the other hand, it’s to our own benefit. The band plays a 21-and-over show at Spokane’s BLVD concert venue at 9 p.m. Saturday. The real treat? Admission is $6.
If three Wenatchee World blogs have not yet convinced you of their greatness, I don’t know what to tell you. Except drive to Spokane this weekend and see them for yourself. It may just change your life forever.
