Eight Gigs: Gazebos
Tue., Jan. 17, 8 p.m., Blue Lamp, $12
It’s always a party when a Hardly Art band comes to town. Last year’s Protomartyr and Chastity Belt show comes to mind. This time it’s Gazebos, a mainstay in the Seattle scene that got brought up to the indie league. Led by singer Shannon Perry, a tattoo artist by trade, Gazebos’ 2016 record Die Alone was not the nihilistic bummer the title suggests. It waltzed, swayed, and raged with a vintage R&B tenor that once permeated early rock ’n’ roll. Gazebos are greasy romantics, written in the doo-wop of Grease’s “There Are Worse Things I Could Do.” 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, https://soundcloud.com/gazebos-1.
