Sound on the Sound
The Seattle music scene has been mourning the loss of Sub Pop’s Andy Kotowicz for a couple weeks now. Blogs, newsletters and supporters have been pouring out their love for Andy in their publications. Pearl Jam has donated an autographed guitar for auction to help with the Andy Kotowicz Family Foundation, and now musicians across the city are coming together for a couple benefit concerts. The first is happening on November 19 at The Sunset and will feature music from The Intelligence, Unnatural Helpers and Partman Parthorse. The second is on December 4 at Showbox at the Market, where bands including A-Frames/AFCGT, Fruit Bats, Mudhoney, Michael Yonkers, Pissed Jeans, Shabazz Palaces, Vetiver and Wolf Eyes will perform in order to raise money for Andy’s wife and young daughter. The first show is 21+, the Showbox show is an all ages event. For more information, follow the link.
