So the rumors are true. I just received a confirmation email from the Showbox at the Market stating that indeed popular nineties post-grunge Seattle band Green Apple Quick Step are playing a show December 20th or this Sunday to be exact. The bummer deal is it's a private party for Cafe Vita, so unless you slang coffee at their local coffee shops or work in the front office chances are you'll be shit out of luck. The set will consist of tunes from their first two records, Wonderful Virus (1993) and Reloaded (1995), and marks the first time in 12 years the songs will be played live.
A crazy amount of great post-grunge Seattle bands have made their way out of retirement since 2007 to play shows in the area and even release records. I have had the opportunity to check out Sweetwater, Seaweed, Love Battery among others and its been great since I spun their records with reckless abandon when I was in middle school. This event may bode well for future endeavors and possible few reunion shows in 2010, so lets keep our fingers crossed.
I just sent off an email to Cafe Vita asking if they wouldn't mind a straggler hanging out at their party. Yes, I'm a nerd, but I don't want any of their food or booze. Just a little "Dirty Water Ocean" would be fine, and maybe a cup of joe.
