Introducing Thursday Night Spin Class

20 Jun

Every night at the Bourbon Bar will be a special one; filled with great people, good conversation, top notch drinks, and an amazing guest DJ in the corner supplying the ambiance.  Every Thursday the Bourbon Bar will play host to a very special weekly event, “Thursday Night Spin Class”.  Thursday night spin class is our way of celebrating those who have really made wonderful contributions to the Seattle and nearby music communities. These people are the folks who make the rich music community we have function from behind the scenes.  We’re talking about local bloggers, photographers, door staff, managers, booking agents, and the whole spectrum of those who make shows and music happen who aren’t the musicians themselves.

Each Thursday night, we will invite one of these incredibly important people into the Bourbon Bar to spin records of their choice for the evening.  We’ll celebrate their accomplishments the week beforehand by featuring a blog or video documentary here on columbiacitytheater.com about who they are and why they are so valuable to us.  It’s a true celebration of the Seattle music industry and wonderful people who make it what it is.

Folks who we have signed up for Thursday night spin class for the month of July include:

Michelle Smith - Noise for the Needy booker and talent buyer for The Comet tavern

Adam Ydstie and Doug Stoeckicht – Founders of underground Tacoma venue, The Warehouse

Chris Burlingame – Popular local music blogger from Three Imaginary Girls and the soon to be launched  Another Rainy Saturday

Abbey Simmons – Writer extraordinaire from Sound on the Sound

Chas Roberts – Re-bar talent buyer, and the mastermind behind the wonderful cult variety show, Get Loweded

See you there!

    I love this. So many people who make shows happen don’t get recognized enough.

    You guys don’t miss a beat.

    So how do people get nominated? I mean, how about Larry Mizell Jr holding down the hip hop blogs and carrying the torch DJ’ing KEXP’s Street Sounds? Or better yet, him, B-Mello, and Nasty Nes showcasing the hosts of Street Sounds dating all the way back to KCMU/Rap Attack days. These folks and this show are a primary reason NW hip-hop is one of the fastest growing music scenes in the country. Regardless of the reason(s), it would surely make for a great night of hip-hop
