I recommend: Locals Brandon Lentz & Bad Kid Billy

Local vocal music we live this weekend, live in Seattle!

With all the big acts coming to town next week, this might be a great weekend to get your local music fix.

Brandon Lentz

Sunday the 28th at Columbia City Theater (4916 Rainier Ave S) is the Washington Solo Artist Awards showcase,  featuring a selection of artists who primarily work on a solo basis in the PNW. They span many different genres, but I know at least one is from the local dance music scene. Brandon Lentz is set to perform—we’ve played him on the Drive-at-Five and OneTwo, and I had the opportunity to see him live on stage at pride. Brandon has excellent stage presence, with a glam-goth presentation reminiscent of a combination of everything I liked in 1991.

Bad Kid Billy

Bad Kid Billy consists of 2 local guys who teamed up with 2 other local guys (Robot Jox) to create a track called “Bonfire Dream” that you may have heard on the Drive-at-Five or OneTwo. I’ve had the chance to talk to Matt, who we hear on vocals from Bad Kid Billy. He is a super cool cat that is all about Seattle. There are even some Seattle geographic references in “Bonfire Dream”. I absolutely love the track, and I think I actually wore the CD out. BKB has a Facebook event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/1742840635951280/ . Doors at 7:30—they go on around 8.
