It's the moment we've all been waiting for: this Saturday, April 16th, KEXP will throw open the doors to the KEXP New Home with a free, all-ages celebration from Noon until 9:00 PM. Come see the station you helped build! There will be tours, food, beer, and, of course, what matters most: music.
Seattle's own Car Seat Headrest crashed into the scene with his Matador Records debut, Teens Of Style. (Founding frontman Will Toledo previously released eleven albums independently through Bandcamp, and he's rumored to only be in his early 20s.) Combining wry, abstract lyrics with '90s-influenced lo-fi rock, Toledo has sped into the spotlight. True to Toledo's past, he's already finished another album, Teens of Denial, produced by legendary local producer Steve Fisk (out October 30th, again on Matador). Let's hope we hear some of those new songs when Car Seat Headrest perform at 8:30 PM in the Gathering Space. Scroll down to see the complete schedule of performances, and watch the band in our studios at the end of 2015:
