Zero 7, the downbeat electronic indie band, is coming to Seattle to put on another show. While they have been long acclaimed they have struggled to live up to their past glory they received on their first album Simple Things. All the same they have made some great tracks and one of their best is the song Destiny (video below), hopefully their set will include some of these classics. More details of the show can be found here on the Showbox website.

We can’t help it, we just can’t get the ridiculously sticky song Home (music video below) out of our heads. There is something altogether appealing about this simple and easy song, even if AllMusic.com repeatedly call the band “cultish”. Regardless, this is sure to be an interesting show and have some excellent music. More details on the show are at the Neumos website. Check out the video for their song “Home”.

The holiday season just isn’t the same without all the trappings of Christmas, such as pop-rock holiday music, mad rushes at the mall, and gingerbread lattes, but one absolute must every holiday season is the annual showing of the Nutcracker by the Pacific Northwest Ballet. This production of Hoffman’s classic tale includes some impressive dancing, massive sets, and one giant mouse king. Easily PNB’s most iconic performance, if there is one ballet you attend, this is the one you should see.
The Nutcracker’s season began on Nov 27th and will run through December 30th. If you are looking for something a little different, the Dec 30th performance is what they call the “Nutty Nutcracker” performance where the cast gets to let off a little steam and have fun with there own version of the tale. Tickets and more info is available on the PNB website.

Its playing at Harvard Exit this weekend on Capitol Hill and with what is sure to be a noteworthy movie of the season, we recommend checking it out. Here is the trailer:

Looking for a new place to recover from a long week at work, we suggest checking out the Lookout Bar on Capitol Hill. Located towards the north end of the hill near the intersection of Bellevue and Bellevue, the bar looks out over SLU, the lake, and the Space Needle, a perfect vantage point for watching the storm clouds roll into town. Everyday they run happy hour from 4 to 7pm with $3 micros and $4 wines and wells. Definitely worth checking out before sampling the apocalypse in tonights opening of 2012.
