Seattle used to have a really fun Britpop night called Top of the Pops where you'd go get wasted and dance like a fool to Pulp, Suede, and Blur. After that died, an even more fun Britpop night called "START!" begun which incorporated live bands with their exquisite DJ sets. When that died, we got the ultimate live music and dance DJ night called "Wire" which summed up all of the fun of it's predecessors. Sadly, the Britpop part of it fell by the wayside. And you couldn't blame anyone because let's face it. Britpop died.
It's been a while, and at the risk of sounding retro, I'm incredibly excited for THE COUNCIL. It seems that I'm not the only person who longs for those drunken evenings dancing to Pulp, Suede, and Blur, and as it turns out there's a whole mess of new music to dance like a fool to! Brought to us by Tif Vicious (an adorable moniker for an even more adorable lady) and hosted by Bus Stop, THE COUCIL will kick off Wednesday July 22nd and will feature the DJ skills of Coulter (yes, that Coulter), DJ Up Above! (yes, Phil), and DJ Cuddleup! Yes, that's me.
You'll definitely hear some old favorites from the 60's on, but be prepared to hear new artists coming out of the UK and some great UK influenced artists from around the world. I'm making a point to find a few choice newbies that hopefully will be your next favorite band.
Oh, and did I mention it's FREE? See you there!
