TONIGHT: Little Big Show, w/ Real Estate & Poor Moon

The Little Big Show concert series had its first show in February, the collaborative effort of KEXP, STG and Starbucks, and was wildly successful. Seattle's Pickwick and Fly Moon Royalty headlined the sold out show, which raised $13,000 dollars for Art Corps. KEXP and STG, themselves are non-profit arts organizations, but as two of the most visible and influential  have partnered with Starbucks to put on 4 of these shows a year, each with 100% of the proceeds benefiting another arts organization. This time it's Coyote Central. 

That's cool enough. But how about the fact that Brooklyn transplants Real Estate are taking the stage with Seattle's own Sub Pop signees Poor Moon? Last years Days was a triumph for Real Estate, earning a Best New Music badge from Pitchfork, Album of the Week from Sterogum, and general praise for the bands skillfully crafted, fuzzy indie-rock (of which I myself am a fan). Fleet Foxes' Christian Wargo and Casey Wescott  are half of Poor Moon, along with brothers Ian and Peter Murray, and they craft similarly soft, sunny tunes. 

The venue is beautiful, the cause is noble, and the bands are good. Do I even have to convince you that you should go?

Little Big Show w/ Real Estate & Poor Moon @ Neptune Theater. Doors at 8pm, $15, all-ages (bar w/ I.D)
