Or we’re just a socially conscious disco garbage band.\nhttps://scumeating.bandcamp.com/ \nBlessed – Blessed is a band based on uncompromising work ethic\, a commitment to democratic involvement between members\, striving never to repeat itself. Comprised of members from the Fraser Valley\, the off-to-the-side Vancouver suburb the group resides in\, Drew Riekman\, Jake Holmes\, Reuben Houweling\, and Mitchell Trainor came together to create something they had been looking for in their previous projects. Between the four\, their projects have toured internationally (US\, EU)\, recorded with Corin Roddick (Purity Ring)\, and played many esteemed festivals (Sled Island\, Rifflandia\, NXNE\, SXSW). Blessed has\, in its short existence\, been fortunate enough to play alongside Garrett Klahn (Texas Is The Reason)\, The Courtney’s (Flying Nun)\, Preoccupations (JagJaguwar)\, Chastity (Captured Tracks) and Fucked Up (Matador).\nhttps://blessedband.bandcamp.com/ \nThe Sheen – The Sheen is pataphysical carcrash\, carbohydrate trainwreck quintet now with extra drums for the same interpretive price of 5-10$ The Sheen draws inspiration from Alfred Jarry\, Charlie Chaplin\, Cinema\, avant-garde jazz\, psychedelia\, noise rock\, and West African music. The group often utilizes jarring contrasts\, unpredictability\, harmonized guitars\, electroacoustics\, and free improvisation\, without completely discarding forms or songwriting techniques common to rock music.

SUMMARY:Cat Valley / Supermissive / Teo / Blood Capsules
DESCRIPTION:Soundtracking your Saturday evening is an eclectic series of performances by local artists: \n$6 admission supports the artists and the Alternative Library. All ages welcome. Doors are 7:30\, Music is at 8:00. \nFeaturing::: \nCat Valley (BHAM) – https://catvalley.bandcamp.com/\nCat Valley is a feminist surf pop-punky trio that writes songs about cat-calling\, misogyny\, and trying to get off in our modern day patriarchy. Cat Valley features dreamy/haunting harmonies from Abby Hegge and Whitney Flinn’s vocals with melodic guitar lines and crunchy tones. Melanie Sehmen\, Music Department Chair of Whatcom Community College\, joined the band after a year or so and added her awesome jazzy percussive prowess to complete the sweet tones of Abby and Whitney’s guitars’.\nCat Valley started when Abby Hegge played some songs at Whitney Flinn’s birthday party and made her cry. They started jamming together and writing songs about all the shit that really pisses them off. Cat Valley’s lyrics use humor and parody to tackle difficult topics and talk about mansplaining\, politics and the power of listening to each other.\nCat Valley is: Whitney Flinn on guitar/vox\, Abby Hegge on guitar/vox\, and Melanie Sehmen on drums.  \nSupermissive (BHAM) – https://supermissive.bandcamp.com/\nFormerly “Avalanchea\,” Supermissive is the creative effort of four individuals fusing elements of psychedelic rock\, desert rock\, and heavy metal into progressive and conceptual music about space\, time\, justice\, injustice\, life\, and death. \nTEO (BHAM) – We don’t have social media or bandcamp so you can tell we’re fresh. Joking aside\, we play a mixture of bossa nova and pop with indie rock tendencies. We’re hoping it makes you want to dance and relax. A debut collection of songs is currently working its way through the studio and will\, arrive with all that social media\, sometime soon. \nThe Blood Capsules (SOLO) (BHAM) – https://bloodcapsules.bandcamp.com/\nYet another band that for all intensive purposes\, is just one person in a bedroom at most times. Sad songs with happy chords.

SUMMARY:Bellingham Noise NoFest
DESCRIPTION:The Alternative Library presents a mini-fest of noise\, improvised music\, and dark electronics. Short performances and light intermissions will highlight harsh tones and extended techniques across the dynamic musical geography of the PNW. \nDoors at 7:30pm; performances at 8:00pm\n$5-15 sliding scale \nFeaturing: \nCj Boyd – Bassist turned vagabond\, C.J. Boyd uses bass loops and voices in order to try and stop time. On perpetual tour since March 2008\, movement and stasis are both at the center of his music. Weaving together improvisation with a sparse\, minimalist aesthetic\, Boyd creates waves of sound\, worlds of provocative unlived memories through a singular approach to the upright bass and electric bass guitar that makes everything near and far.\nhttp://cjboyd.bandcamp.com/ \nAnimal | Inside – Downtempo trip-hop twosome Animal|Inside combine electronic drums with roving synth melodies to create the perfect musical setting for delicate and haunting vocals. Cavernous\, cerebral\, and just plain dark\, Animal|Inside’s songs seem made to transport the listener to a swirling landscape of beauty and rawness.\nhttps://animalinside.bandcamp.com/ \nKole Galbraith (Sea) – Seattle based drone and noise artist\, Kole Galbraith explores rock and roll based instruments’ revolutionary affects in various contexts and settings. Utilizing both traditional and extended techniques as well as synthesis\, Galbraith combines deep drones and harsh textures to make very cathartic and emotional pieces.\n \nTwin Sibling – twinsibling.bandcamp.com/album/tarantula-town \nScuzz Nun (Sea) https://youtu.be/S70_tG5z9nM \nSpade & Archer (Members of Scum Eating) \nKristal McKinstry \nFuture Man \n—–\nThe Alternative Library is an all-ages\, alcohol-free space.

SUMMARY:Hands Off Maru:  A Benefit for Maru Mora Villalpando
DESCRIPTION:This is a night to Defend the Defenders! \nMaru Mora Villalpando has given much to the movements for immigrants and worker’s rights. Through decades of dedicated organizing with the communities most impacted by our nation’s inhumane immigration policies\, her struggle has inspired many to action\, to fight for a more just and equitable world. Now the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency has targeted her for deportation because of her activism. \nOn the night of April 13th\, we will rally around Maru and communities of undocumented immigrants and latinx farmworkers she works with. We will be raising money for her fight against deportation\, raising awareness about the ongoing struggles she’s been a part of and raising a ruckus as we dance through the night. \nThere will be a silent auction throughout the evening with all sorts of sweet items\, live jazz with the Blue Root Quartet\, a salsa lesson with Rumba Northwest and a salsa dance with live music by the Bilongo Quintet. \n$10.00 suggested donation at the door.\nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP and more info: https://www.facebook.com/events/591599697841719/
