Okay, well drift away from all the Shakedown mishegas for some news about a free guest-infused gig next week in Seattle. Global Funk will perform at Nectar on Tuesday August 30 adding some brass with Jessica Lurie (Living Daylights) on sax and Chris Littlefield (KDTU) on trumpet. This gratis gig is part of the bands tour of the west which will continue through September (and for those of you really hankering for Shakedown Camping and Music Festival related content, well point out the Global Funk was originally scheduled to perform at the fest today).

Steve Kimock and the Everyone Orchestra, Particle, DJ Logic and Gabby La La To Appear at the Crystal Ballroom

Well it looks like today the news department is all Shakedown Fest all the time. Folks who already have travel plans should take some solace in that along with tonights rescheduled Galactic gig at Portlands Crystal Ballroom some other artists originally slated to appear at the event will now perform at the club. On Saturday it will be Particle with special guests, DJ Logic and Gabby La La. On Sunday the Crystal will host Steve Kimock and the Everyone Orchestra with DJ Logic. The shows will begin at 9PM and are all ages and tickets are now on-sale at the venue box office (tickets from the Shakedown Festival will not be honored).
