Koko and the Sweetmeats to Say Farewell on Sunday


The Indie Roots stage at this weekend's Folklive festival will be one bittersweet affair as one of Seattle's finest bands will be calling it quits :(  In a time when synthesizers dominate every aspect of modern indie rock and Dupstep is infecting America like some crazy EDM zombie virus,  Koko and the Sweetmeats embodied everything that is timeless about rock n'roll. The long hair, the pulse pounding drums, mind bending guitar riffs. It was music that felt refreshingly retro but never out of place.  I expect there will be an flood of torn denim and enough lighters in the air to increase the temperature by a degree or two on Sunday.  Make sure to be at the Indie Roots stage by 4:35 for one last opportunity see one this city's best bands ride into the sunset.
