So, I dunno if $2 can buy happiness, but on Thursday, Oct 16th it can buy you frosty beverages at MOE bar. And you KNOW that frosty beverages can only lead to happiness. Am I right or am I right?

I'm right.

So, the Seattle Subsonic -Local Music- Happy Hour is happening again from 5-8, this time in rare form. It's no coincidence that directly following Happy Hour there is a free concert right there at Neumos with The Cops, Saturday Knights, and Mono in VCF. It's invite only so if you want on the list, email promo@neumos.com with "RSVP to SATURDAY KNIGHTS" in the subject line. It's a pretty kickass lineup-and I'm not sure if the concert is a great capper to happy hour hour or if happy hour is a great primer to the show. Either way, I'm in for both.

Joining us this month will be local label-and friends-Sarathan Records. Sarathan is a genuine local Seattle label founded in 2000, by Jonathan Kochmer, in genuine Seattle start-up fashion. Coming from busking and living in a Subaru, to working as Amazon's 9th employee, Jonathan represents all that is quintessential Seattle, including being 1/2 of the haunting and hypnotic Two Loons for Tea - the reason for the, then, fledgling label. Sarathan Records also represent Subsonic favorites, War Tapes, Feral Children, The Purrs, and many others. And they're coming with arm-fulls of CDs, T's and other shwag to give out. You can check out a mix-tape sampling their music with this link here.

Also in attendance will be members of several local bands, other music industry peeps, and of course, the writers from your favorite music site, Seattle Subsonic.

So, come rub elbows with musicians from all over the Seattle spectrum, meet the folks that keep Sarathan pumping out great albums and and hang with we, the meager writers of Subsonic and make it out with a buzz, most of your money, ringing ears and tons of goodies.
