Another social media app… Polaroid portraits of rad folks and poorly drawn sketches of folks I haven’t been able to photograph.

Tad and Peggy. Once when I was on tour in San Diego, I was asked, “Do you know Pegadeth?” And proudly, I was able to answer, “Yes I do!” Peggy played bass in Brothers of the Sonic Cloth along side Tad.

I’m a big fan of all the wildly varying music Corey has been a part of making. Bands like Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death and Cold Lake, his solo recordings and alternative soundtracks to classic movies, it’s all fantastic.

He Whose Ox is Gored, the Great Goddamn, Haunted Horses, Filth is Eternal… Brian has played in so many rad, loud bands. And he has been so incredibly supportive of my attempts to make music. It’s really meant a lot to me.

Every neighborhood needs someone like Jesse. I live in the White Center neighborhood and when I hang out there, whether it’s going to see bands, or getting a drink or a bite to eat, there is often a connection to Jesse. I first met him when he owned Company Bar.

Josh Rhoads and his family own and operate the Southgate Roller Rink. The rink is a place for birthday parties, a place for live music, and a place where communities can come together and celebrate joy.

That booming voice always lets you know when Matt Brown is around. Matt is another person I don’t remember when or where we first met. I remember knowing of him before I actually met him. I knew he co-hosted annual viewings of the Empire Strikes Back at Hattie’s Hat.

Nick Brown has excellent taste in music and all the northwest bands you wish you’d been able to go see, he probably saw several times. Brandy has known Nick for around 30 years.

Tim Hoff, bass player for Gaytheist. He might look like a mean biker dude, but I’ve always found Tim to be super friendly. I’ve been going to see his band, Gaytheist, since 2012. On stage, it’s all loud, heavy bass, off stage he’s soft spoken and all smiles.

Multi talented and all around nice guy, Darren Chase. When I met him more than a decade ago, he was playing guitar in a band called Ancient Warlocks. These days he’s creating electronic soundscapes under the name Annihilation Squares.

Larry Reid never stops championing the art and music of others. He put on punk shows at Roscoe Louie, Graven Image Gallery, and CoCA back in the day. He organized Big Black’s final show at the Georgetown Steam Plant (you can find it on YouTube). He managed the U-Men.

Bert and Michelle Ring. Bert was Brandy’s high school English teacher. Michelle is from France. They split their time between Seattle and a small town outside of Paris. Once or twice a year we get together with them for lunch or dinner and catch up. They are fantastic.

I think it was Joel Cuplin who once called Ben “Seattle’s best friend” and I’ve always loved that description. I’ve been going out to see his bands for more than 20 years (Helms Alee, Constant Lovers, Harkonen, Roy,…).
