<p>Anacortes, WA is a magical place. And if you’re the sort of person that delights in an intimate musical experience unfettered by the commercial onslaught of modern day festivals or even your city’s corner bar, you’re in luck, because the small Northwestern hamlet hosts a gathering each year for people just like you. Formerly What the Heck Fest and Anacortes Unknown, this year’s installment shifts slightly in approach and has yet to claim a name. No matter, the event smells just as sweet, with a lineup of great musicians set to perform in community spaces and DIY venues.</p>
<div id="attachment_16160" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 150px"><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Anacortes_Unknown_2014-33.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-16160" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Anacortes_Unknown_2014-33-150x150.jpg" alt="Bonnie Prince Billy performs Anacortes Unknown 2014; photo by Bryan C.

<p class="wp-caption-text">Bonnie Prince Billy performs Anacortes Unknown 2014; photo by Bryan C. Parker</p>
</div>
<p>Those performers include nationally known folks like Paleo, Esme Patterson (of Shakey Graves), and Advance Base (formerly Casiotone for the Painfully Alone) as well as a slew of performers from the region. While that’s all great, it’s the secluded environs and small town charm that make the festival so communal and unforgettable. <a href="http://thebusinessanacortes.com/shop/somethinginjuly/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Do yourself a favor and buy a pass</span></a>. Guaranteed to reduce stress and maximize enjoyment of life!</p>

Yes, since 2007 they&#8217;ve been periodically reunited for tours. And yes, they recently released their first album of new original material in 49 years. But the phrase &#8220;reunion band&#8221; sticks to the roof of your mouth like old peanut butter. It describes a washed out band going through the motions, in it for the payout or trying unsuccessfully to capture the fleeting moments of joy years in the past. No, the Sonics are not a reunion band. They may be <em>back</em>, but they never lost what they had.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-14.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-21165" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-14-150x150.jpg" alt="The_Sonics_061415-14" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-14-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-14-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-14-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>These progenitors of garage and punk have returned with a mission. From the first song of their set at Red 7 last Sunday, all five members played with intensity, as the band moved between new material (from their newly released album <a href="https://thesonics.myshopify.com/collections/releases/products/this-is-the-sonics" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>This is the Sonics</em></span></a>) and old hits like &#8220;Psycho,&#8221; &#8220;The Witch,&#8221; and &#8220;Strychnine.&#8221; Dusty Watson played like a madman on the skins, Jerry Roslie still has his piercing snarl, Larry Parypa&#8217;s riffs were spot on, and Rob Lind narrated the evening with aplomb while providing trademark sax.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-18.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-21169" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-18-150x150.jpg" alt="The_Sonics_061415-18" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-18-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-18-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The_Sonics_061415-18-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>New songs like &#8220;Bad Betty&#8221; and &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Need No Doctor&#8221; lack a little bit of the <em>sonic boom</em> of the band&#8217;s early recordings, but they&#8217;re damn close. It&#8217;s astounding to watch a band come back 50 years after they pioneered a genre and still perform it better than most like-minded acts in the game. The Sonics&#8217; blend of blues, rock, garage, and what-would-become-punk sounds as fresh as it ever did.</p>

I went to the show expecting to have a little fun hearing these classic garage rock songs, but left completely blown away by the Sonics intact ability to shred an audience. <a href="http://thesonicsboom.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If they come through your town</span></a>, don&#8217;t miss them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anacortes, Washington based band Hungry Cloud Darkening is set to release their new album <em>Glossy Recall</em>, out October 7th via OFF TEMPO. After a close listen to the band, you won&#8217;t be surprised to learn that they acted as regional comrades Mount Eerie&#8217;s backing band during the tour supporting <em>Clear Moon</em>. Hungry Cloud Darkening music often sounds like just that, especially the kind that drifts in on a Northwest afternoon, hangs around ominously yet in balanced harmony with bright washes of sun. On single &#8220;Blue Green,&#8221; dreamy guitar strums provide a backdrop for thudding bass and Allyson Foster&#8217;s high-range, drifting vocals. Pre-order <em>Glossy Recall</em> <a href="http://offtempo.bandcamp.com/album/glossy-recall" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">here</span></a>, and stream &#8220;Blue Green&#8221; below.</p>
