1 Interesting Free Music Event in Sodo This Weekend!


Yesterday I received an email about a semi-secret event that is going on in Sodo this weekend. It seems there are some pretty sweet bands playing at a promotional event for Kia Motors called "The Soul Collective". It features live music and DJ sets all weekend, and the chance to test drive the new 2010 Kia Soul. The thing that caught my eye are the bands that are scheduled to play including No Age, Wavves, and Santigold. I'm really not sure what to expect from this event but I do know what to expect from those three groups. If you have sometime this weekend it might be worth heading down to the Sodo area for some great live music for.....Free!
Below is the press release I was sent, it includes set times and more info on the event. Cheers!
