Okay in Tacoma - August 14th and 15th (27. July 2007, 11:17 by Derek Young) ~ Join the Fun
Exit133 and The Helm are proud to present two solo performances by Berkeley-based singer/songwriter Marty Anderson. A local legend of sorts, Marty is best known in Tacoma as the front man of Dilute; a jazz influenced indie rock band that played a couple of highly memorable local shows a few years ago. More recently, Marty has been playing pop based music under the pun-lending name of Okay. Less experimental than Dilute, Okay offers classically structured pop songs and impossibly catchy melodies, which are uniquely delivered in Anderson’s obscure but charming wail. Without a doubt this should be the most relevant and interesting indie performance to hit Tacoma all summer.
Tuesday, August 14th, Okay will play a 21 and over show at Bob’s Java Jive with San Juan (ex-Eyes of Autumn) and Whiting Tennis. Doors will be open at 8PM. Tickets cost $10.
Wednesday, August 15th, Okay will play an all ages show at Club SOTA with The Elephants, Wallpaper, and Tree Roots in the Basement. Doors will open at 7PM. Tickets cost $15 presale and $20 at the door.
Buy your tickets today from Blackwater Café (747 Fawcett) or online at BrownPaperTickets.com.
