IN CONCERT: Rolling Bay hosts doubleheader show
Published 11:41 am Thursday, August 4, 2016
Space Craft will host a doubleheader concert event featuring Fine Prince and John Dillon at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12 at Rolling Bay Hall.
Fine Prince is a six-piece “sunshine pop band” from Seattle. Their sound ranges from exuberant and bright to whimsical and wry, with danceable beats, electric guitars, cool synths, dreamy keys and lush vocal harmonies.
John Dillon is a Seattle-based band playing the songs of Dillon Sturtevant. Songs that had sat spinning on hard-drives or clinging to cassettes for years, transforming and shifting over the course of life-changes (including a move out to Seattle) finally made it to the light of day when members of Tomten, Kithkin and friends got together to perform them live.
The first record, “The Lost Estate,” coalesced out of this backlog of music and became sharpened, expanded and was released on LP from Plume Records in March 2016 (and on cassette from Never Anything Records).
“The Lost Estate” is characterized by lush production, high quality lo-fi sounds, sincerity laced with humor, humor laced with melancholy and a melodic bent. The LP was recorded in collaboration with engineer Andy Meyer in the summer of 2014 in Seattle. Live, the songs continue to transform and evolve in the hands of the players.
Tickets are on sale. Admission is $12 in advance, $15 at the door.
