Kerri O'Kane's documentary offers a candid appraisal and celebration of the Seattle punk-pop band that was poised for larger success in the early '90s before the murder of lead singer Mia Zapata cut their ambitions short.

The Saturday Knights are Seattle's premiere hip-hop party band. Add
a little punk, soul and blues to the mix and you've got an explosively
fun group. The Seattle music press has been salivating over the group's new
album, "Mingle," ever since advance copies began arriving last winter. On Tuesday, June 24, the group performs a dream gig with hip-hop star Robert Diggs, aka RZA, of hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, at Showbox SoDo.

The Georgetown Music Fest happening this Friday, June 13 and Saturday, June 14, is the very definition of synchronicity -- provided that one's definition of the word is "a kick-ass two-day music festival with nearly sixty local and national bands and a veritable river of microbrew."

I know you want to stare at the band with your hands in your pockets, unmoving. It's the Seattle way. But that kind of nonsense won't fly for Seattle Soundbite. A lot of good bands will be playing, and there will be excellent "street-style" food on hand to reward your other senses.

One of my favorite Seattle bands plays the Tractor Wednesday evening, March 12. I recommend Pufferfish to anyone who loves Beck, Wilco and life in general.

OK, you've probably never wondered what happens when you combine a protégé of Sir Mix-a-Lot with a bald, middle-aged man who sings about peaches and an insatiable "Lump." Or maybe you've already heard of the Feelings Hijackers, and you know that this combination is some very groovy fun.
