Vela Lounge.. By way of pizza parlor?

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Seattle’s got a new hot spot, or so we’ve heard? Vela launched their grand opening last week and word on the street is that the former pizza parlor isn’t close to being a bona fide nightclub, even with Seattle’s sub par standards.

The approximate 350 capacity venue offers the feel of high school hallways with cheap linoleum, obnoxious fluorescent lighting and their outdoor patio/”cabana” area (which was supposed to be the icing on the cake) produces an atmosphere one would imagine similar to that of a garish prison yard, confined by concrete walls.

Though Vela isn’t quite finished and they appear to have much more up their sleeve, it’s still exactly what Seattle needs - new venues. We’re crossing our fingers they’ll come out of left field and give us a little something more.

Seattle’s Got Dancehall?

Monday, July 6th, 2009

There seems to be a pretty steady buzz if you’ve got your ear to the street in the local music scene around here. The dancehall and reggae that seeming died off in the last five years or so is rearing it’s pretty little head back around the corner - and growing with stark force.

Listen close enough and you’re sure to hear the euphonious sounds of the up and coming productions company, Dynasty. Combining the intrinsic talents of Dan Grossman and Spencer Green, they’re quickly revamping the Reggae scene here in the shadow of the Space Needle. Whether they’re producing tracks for world renown artists like Sizzla and Perfect to hosting live showcases featuring local artists such as Bobby Hustle, Dway and Papa Black Davinci, Dynasty is without a doubt creating a name for themselves, both locally and internationally in the Reggae/Dancehall world.

In 2009, Dynasty has partnered up with Imperial VIP to host and produce a few hip hop/reggae showcases, featuring the up and coming squad of local artists, to which seem to have been moderately successful. Their next show is set to go down Wednesday, August 12th @ Nectar Lounge in Fremont, with DJ Cide and Dynasty’s artists on the roster.

Everyone’s familiar with the newly acclaimed phenomenon that is Twitter - Well, we’ve caved.

The jist of it is, Twitter is a mini blogging site. Unlike status updates on Myspace and Facebook, you’re updating the people of your choice with mini blogs and blurbs into your daily life. What better a way to bridge the gap between texting, blogging and saturated social network sites?

So, after 3 weeks and hours of troubleshooting we’ve finally been able to take the ancient TPD content servers and mesh them with something new, result, a bunch of sh*t you don’t really want to read. Wondering what the hell this is?! Wondering why you need ANOTHER site to check every day ?! Well, we’ve done a lot of thinking and it’s time that the Seattle Nightlife “Scene” gets attacked from every angle. You won’t be dissapointed.
