The nearly monthlong Seagaze Fest celebrates the Northwest’s love of 1980/90s shoegaze; a sound glazed with melodies and a LOT of noise—perhaps originally inspired by overindulgences in shitty, strychnine speedy, $5 blotter, incidental warehouse reverb, and, uh, the Beach Boys. Tonight's bill sorts Seattle locals This Blinding Light, who play cool rockin’ indie, and Blackpool Astronomy, who sculpt songs around thick, dark melodies, with two PDX groups, Lost Echoes, who frame atmosphere onto melody on top of indie pop, plus headliners True Primitives, who promise to smother us with their dreamy mid-tempo floaters. by Mike Nipper
