The Black Whales
Driving back to Seattle from Federal Way last December I was faced with a musical quandary. Should I listen to Andrew Bird for the 83rd time in a row, or hope that there is something decent on the radio? With hopeful trepidation I tuned into kexp – a very solid choice.
The Black Whales were playing some irresistibly catchy and well-crafted songs. And they had some top-notch banter, which is always a pleasant bit of knowledge to have about a band, right?
This Seattle-based foursome describes their music as “Flowers on drugs. Warm hearted spaghetti-westerns.” Yesssss. And it sounds good.
They have some shows coming up in the NW – check their myspace. And they have an ep available for free download on their website.
