Hey! I'm a n00b here and i've been supporting kexp for... approximately 9 years now? i'll even volunteer sometimes and am usually a member!

over this summer i was swept into the local scene and serve a real purpose helping to promote bands. here are some of my favorites that i would like to share with you! (** indicates my particular favorites but the rest are still good!)

**The Ever Changing Sky - purely instrumental. experimental/ambient/space rock.
The Vague Prophets - rock. i've heard comparisons to nirvana many times but i, and the band, fail to hear the resemblance.
**Wah Wah Exit Wound - mostly instrumental but there is a singer just in case. japanese classic/progressive/rock fusion.
**Miniature - crunk/dutch pop/western swing. these boys are loads of fun and so is the music!
Evangelist - Death metal/grindcore/punk. kexp needs to have a program made for these kinds of bands! (note: singer has recently departed band for personal reasons).
Castor & Pollution - psychedelic/electronica/showtunes. emphasis on psychedelic.
**Joy Wants Eternity - experimental/ambient/indie. epic feel like a movie shot in space. seems like ur constantly riding the climax.
**Kinski - psychedelic/experimental/rock. notorious in the local scene for 10 years and counting!

anyone noticing an experimental/psychedelic love trend? yes, they all have a myspace page so feel free to google away and check them out! i am personally tied to The Ever Changing Sky, The Vague Prophets, Wah Wah Exit Wound, Miniature, and Evangelist.

Come out and see The Ever Changing Sky, Castor & Pollution, and Stepkid @ the Josephine in Ballard Saturday 10/24! show starts around 8 or 9pm. Tix are never more than $6. i'll see u there!
