PHOTOS: HELP YOURSELF RECORDS WEST COAST TOUR KICKOFF WITH SSDD, NAIL POLISH, & UBU ROI @ CHOP SUEY, SEATTLE, WA. 11/4/15

We here in the Emerald City are afforded, EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, a spectacular bounty of incredible local music talent to enjoy, fed to us like peeled grapes. All we have to do is show up and BOOM! Grape in mouth! Now we will share some of our BEST GRAPES with you, the residents of the West Coast, courtesy Help Yourself Records: post-punks Steal Shit Do Drugs and Nail Polish are heading to Oregon, California, and Nevada RIGHT THIS MINUTE IN A VAN!! The "WE'LL ALL BE RICH" World Tour begins TONIGHT, November 6th at the Kenton Club in Portland, and continues on through Santa Rosa, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Davis, and ends up in Reno on November 14th. I encourage my friends in these three fine states to check out our lovely friends if you can, buy some merch, and dig some of our best and brightest (or best and darkest, if we want to keep with the whole No Wave thang). Thank you!




Last Wednesday night kicked things off at good ol' Chop Suey, and the place was packed, with Help Yourself thrashers UBU ROI beginning the night. Please to enjoy these digital photographic images which I hope will entice you to explore the bands and their music further. Click on the photos to enlarge and click on the Flickr links for more!
