Calm Down Party (Album Release) with Dining Dead and Sun Spots
Seattle indie rock band Calm Down Party has released three rollicking EPs since they started putting out music in 2018, and we’re finally getting a full-length album. Lemon Light comes out on Friday, and you can celebrate with the band at their album release party with support from fellow local rockers Dining Dead and Sun Spots. Despite the fact that “calm” is in their name, Calm Down Party makes high-energy music with electric guitar riffs, propulsive drumming, and earnest vocals. It’s a little bit surf rock, a little bit punk, and a lot of fun. Mark your calendars; the band’s teasing new merch and that this might be their last show for a while. SHANNON LUBETICH
