Fall Arts Guide | Music & Nightlife: Rockin' on past summer
Summer? We hardly knew 'er! Actually, this year we're considering fall an official extension of our stunted summer.
Seattle Times staff writer
PREV
Deal: Eat, drink, boogie
It's dinner and a show, Ballard-style, as venerable dive Hattie's Hat and alt-country mecca the Tractor Tavern team up for a cool combo deal.
Hit Hattie's for dinner before or after a show at the Tractor, present your ticket or will-call confirmation to your server and get one meal half price with the purchase of a meal of equal or greater value. The offer's good seven nights a week; dinner's served 5 to 10 p.m.
The supercheap can max out on Hattie's $2-$4 appetizer happy hour, served 3 to 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight all week — nachos, fish tacos, spinach casserole and more — while digging Hattie's killer jukebox and some of the stiffest drinks in the 'hood.
Highlights at the Tractor this fall include upstate-NYC roots ruffians the Felice Brothers Oct. 6 and L.A. Americana-pop pretty boys Dawes Nov. 18 (206-784-0175 or www.hattieshat.com).
Summer? We hardly knew 'er!
Actually, this year we're considering fall an official extension of our stunted summer. We're expecting a fair season in more ways than one — weather-wise, of course, and have you seen the lineup for the Puyallup Fair? Kenny Rogers with the Tacoma Symphony, Sept. 13. Queensryche and Tesla, Sept. 20. Hall and Oates, Sept. 22.
The city, however, delivers the most awesome for your autumn. Seattle will ignore shorter days and falling leaves and instead keep the summer soundtrack cranked to 11 past Halloween.
First, fall festivals: There's a bunch. Decibel Festival, that internationally renowned confab of cutting-edge electronic music, returns to various venues across the city Sept. 22-26. Also returning to various venues across Ballard is the local-music-centric Reverb Fest on Oct 9. And new this year, with an ambitious agenda that includes Big Boi, the Vaselines, Belle and Sebastian and many more, is City Arts Fest, Oct. 20-23.
Nonfestival concerts are typically rife this season (the reason it's called "Rocktober"). Swamp-boogie master Dr. John makes his annual pilgrimage from the Crescent City to the Emerald City through Sept. 12. Moody indie rockers the National come to Marymoor Park Sept. 11. KeyArena hosts Almost in Chains, aka the relaunched Alice in Chains, on Oct. 8 and virtually real rockers Gorillaz Nov. 2. At the Showbox, intellectual-soul outfit Dirty Projectors plays Sept. 30 and indie dance band Caribou plays Oct. 4; Ben Gibbard of Zooey Deschanel/Death Cab for Cutie hits the Croc Nov. 3. At the Paramount: the Flaming Lips (Sept. 27), the Black Keys (Oct. 2) and the Blue Scholars (Oct. 20).
If you'd rather laugh out loud than rock out louder, check out the Moore's lineup: Comedian Adam Carolla (Sept. 10), Seattle native/cubicle Nazi Rainn Wilson plays Oct. 23, and Louis CK, creator of the legendary Pootie Tang, plays Nov. 12.
Phew! Is it winter yet?

The Gaslight Anthem
With AMERICAN SLANG, The Gaslight Anthem makes an extraordinary leap forward towards that very goal. The New Jersey-based band’s third long player reveals a remarkably powerful rock ‘n’ roll outfit honed by two years of nearly non-stop touring. Singer/guitarist Fallon’s passionate lyrical approach has grown more personal and introspective, his raw throated vocals stronger and more resonant against the band’s pulse-pounding dynamic force. Songs like “Bring It On,” “Orphans” and the rousing title track bristle and burn with the spirit of soul, the energy of punk, and the artistic ambition of any hall of famer you’d care to name. AMERICAN SLANG is the battle cry of a great band finding its own voice and using it to shout to the rooftops and beyond.

The Black Keys
It’s too facile to call the Black Keys counterparts of the White Stripes: they share several surface similarities -- their names are color-coded, they hail from the Midwest, they’re guitar-and-drum blues-rock duos -- but the Black Keys are their own distinct thing, a tougher, rougher rock band with a purist streak that never surfaces in the Stripes. But that’s not to say that the Black Keys are blues traditionalists: even on their 2002 debut, The Big Come Up, they covered the Beatles’ psychedelic classic “She Said She Said,” indicating a fascination with sound and texture that would later take hold on such latter-day albums as 2008’s Attack & Release, where guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney teamed up with sonic architect Danger Mouse. In between those two records, the duo established the Black Keys as a rock & roll band with a brutal, primal force, and songwriters of considerable depth, as evidenced on such fine albums as 2003’s Thickfreakness and 2004’s Rubber Factory.

Together with these gentlemen, Doc has crafted an innovative and exciting program.
