SUPER BOAT

Have you heard the news. For what appears to be a one night only performance on July 5th at the Showbox BOAT transforms into "SUPER BOAT" with the addition of "Galactic Ricky". This phenomenom is being covered in the press!

You're playing at the Showbox on July 5, opening for the Cops and the Long Winters. That's a big room.

"The Showbox is the biggest place we have ever played. We are bringing our friend Ricky up from Portland to make us a super, five-piece BOAT. We will have extra vocals, bell kits, tambourines, keyboards, and Ricky is going to add saxophone to several songs. More Clarence Clemons than Kenny G. Imagine if Clarence Clemons and Buddy Holly had a baby—it would look kind of like Ricky. We haven't decided yet if we will be making confetti for the show. My paper cutter needs to be sharpened. But we are only playing songs that we consider anthems." The Stranger


The Seattle group, in addition to crafting the perfect summer release, is going to make BOAT history by playing as a 5-piece. "Galactic Ricky" joins on lead saxophone, one fingered arpeggio guitar, bells, and keyboards. And them some group named "The Long Winters" will play. With the Cops. Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave., 628-3151. 8 p.m., $16. The Seattle Weekly
