Catch This: Free show in West Seattle

Today in local music

To the Sea, the band

To the Sea is a band I very much enjoyed seeing last year at The Mix in Georgetown. Not only do they have a nice sound, reminiscent of Coldplay, but they also seem to have a good sense of humor, which I appreciate in my artists. From their Myspace page:

Here's What the Press Thinks [about To the Sea]:

"Their sound mixes melancholy with sometimes sharp, sometimes soaring guitars."
-SeattleConcerts.com

They opened like a hurricane, rocking the crowd with their sweet almost europop sounds.
- Kate Sparrow - seattlerepresent.com

"You guys are the first band I've ever heard!"
- Some Ahmish Guy

"We don't just give out random reviews to every band that comes along. Stop asking."
- Rolling Stone Magazine

"The number you have dialed has been disconnected or is no longer in service. Please check the number and dial again."
- Steven Spielberg

I bought their EP at that show, and now you can too. They're playing tonight at the Skylark in West Seattle at 9:00pm, along with Modern Athletics and Loaded for Bear. Use the money you won't have to spend on cover to buy something at their merch table.
