The Old Haunts at the Funhouse

I always dig going to shows at the Funhouse. It’s a cool little joint under the Needle that caters to punks, beer-drinkin’ rock fans, and pool players. Olympian swamp-rock trio the Old Haunts play a Friday show with a couple other northwest bands and one from Germany (??). Sounds absolutely diabolic. Check out the Haunts 2005 debut, Fallow Fields, for a carousing, fervent, and raw take on surf rock, rockabilly, and good ol’ fashioned classic rock.

Also playing:
Little Claw (Portland)
Nice Smile (Seattle)
Catatonic Youth (Germany)

Apparently ( and very unfortunately) this show has already sold out. These East Coast superstars made huge waves far before their self titled album ever dropped. Keep an eye out for last minute tix from Neumos.

Monotonix! Yeah, this happened…

Friday night, Feb 22nd. A camera was found amongst the remains of the Comet Tavern. We’re not sure what happened, exactly. All we know is that the Israeli trio, Monotonix took to the stage at approximately 11:00. The foundations shook, fires erupted, someone tried to pull the place down by the rafters and from what we rescued from the digital files, it would appear that the crowd vanished into the throws of hedonism.We can only assume that Monotonix rocked the Comet Tavern right down into the tunnel being drilled through Capitol Hill and that nobody made it out alive….The following photos are real. They have not been modified or doctored in any way. Any commentaries are assumed, you know, cuz nobody made it out alive and stuff.

mmm…moustache
