kickball |
Kickball are everything that is vibrant and exciting about DIY music. Their fourth release, Everything Is a Miracle Nothing Is a Miracle Everything Is, is an indie gem, equally melodic and danceable, that captures the endearingly awkward energy the Olympia trio bring live to living rooms and small clubs across the country." - The Stranger |
the solvents |
Manresa Castle captures love at its best and at its most damaging with an album that is both a chronicle of recovery and a confession of vulnerability. |
super duo |

"Like a flightless bird that tries to fly again / somehow I want love so bad even though I don't want love."
As in the cover art, Jenny Jenkins reaches for the frosted cake of love again and again, undeterred by the obvious dangers of the flaming oven. And so, with bravery and brutal honesty, she confronts the subject of love while joined by a cast of talented olympians including Derrick Johnson (leton mite, unwound), Andrew Dorsett (lake), Jen Klise (superduo), and Vince Brown (tune stranglers).
june madrona
June Madrona's fourth album Battlegrounds is now available!
"The unique instrumentation lends these wistful, perceptive meditations on love, loss and youth a sense of otherworldliness; the tangible presence of those worries that nag at the back of your mind; the shapes you catch moving at the corner of your eye; the secret aches that burn the heart and sting the eye."- James O'Connell (www.rocklouder.co.uk)

"Jordan O' Jordan, Miss Spindleheart, and Onyx of Olympia are all Pacific Northwest musicians, but their band started oddly, in New Zealand in January... by the end of Polka Dot Dot Dot's first tour, the New Zealand equivalent of NPR had noticed it. Which stands to reason. The group is awesome." -local cut
jenny jenkins
Jenny Jenkins has a keen wit and an infectious laughter that can turn a room full of hipsters into giggles. Her previous projects include, Super Duo , Encyclopedia of Fun, and "Love is Stupid", a musical starring Mirah in Olympia circa 1999 that has to be seen to be believed. Look for her new album in winter/spring of '08!
