Well, with the release of more great music we figured it was probably best that we run it back with Sea Lemon as Locals Only Artist of the Month again for April. Not only was here track "Crystals" with Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie a completely perfect song, but we also can't get enough of her new single "Stay". With that we "Stay" ready for that new Sea Lemon album Diving For A Prize to be released on June 13th.

I've just got to say it right here at the top... Naked Giants is one of my favorite bands. Anywhere. The fact that we get to claim them as our own here in Seattle just makes it all so much better. On October 4th Naked Giants release their third album Shine Away. You can celebrate with the band that night when they perform in store at Easy Street Records. I cannot suggest strongly enough that you go enjoy this show and get a copy of Shine Away.

Hosting Locals Only is so much fun in a city like Seattle. Sure, the town has more music history than could be covered in an eight part Netflix docuseries, but we also have so much amazing new stuff going on right now! Not only do we have great new bands popping up all the time, but every now and then a fantastic band decides to move out here and join the party. That's what happened two years ago when Colorado band Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners decided to call Seattle home.
