Pinching pennies this month? We got you! There’s still plenty to do this weekend on the cheap, from the U District Street Fair to Gays Eating Garlic Bread in the Park, and from the 17th of May in Ballard to Seattle Mineral Market. For more suggestions, check out our top event picks of the week.
FRIDAY
LIVE MUSIC
Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory Live on KEXP
On her new album, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory, the New Jersey singer-songwriter maintains her cerebral arena rock sound (à la Bruce Springsteen) while embracing a haunting, goth vibe reminiscent of Siouxsie Sioux & The Banshees. Just imagine Siouxsie Sioux & The E Street Band—that’s what this album sounds like to me. KEXP sets permit up to 70 attendees to watch the musicians from the “live room viewing gallery,” and the experience comes complete with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of DJing and video production processes.
