Naming a band is an act of concentrated creative expression. Square Pig in a Round Hole exists to reward five favorite band names each week. Winners are (usually) listed alphabetically.
Selection is wholly unscientific and subject to whim, with a bias toward wordplay, humor, and local flavor. In most cases, I won’t know anything about the bands at the time of selection. Thanks to the Seattle Times club listings for abundant source material!
Not quick enough to get tickets to the Seattle Pop Punk Festival before day 1 sold out, I have enjoyed reports from afar. Almost a third of the bands are past Square Pig honorees: Botherations, Date Night with Brian, Dead Bars, The Drolls, and Stuporhero. Meanwhile, these non-festival bands made the cut this week:
Either ageism or being born in the wrong century.
Hint: it’s the one we die with.
Lesser Seattle and the spirit of Emmett Watson live on!
A gently beaming smile, or Tesla’s “Peace Beam” by another name?
When traffic gets tangled, don’t get mad; get out and dance. I also like how the alliteration isn’t obvious in the spelling.

Thanks for the the shout out Karen! We will be playing at Tims Tavern for our first show this Tuesday for Rock-o-taco Tuesday music night. Music starts at 8. Come on down and check it out. Can’t go the wrong way coming over to Tims. Thanks again for the mention. Take care.
Respectfully,
Richard Laqueur
