We’re pleased to confirm that our headlining artists this year will be Bent Knee and Cheer-Accident. These two bands have been consistently creative and innovative, and easily rank among the most prominent American art rock bands. They have both made careers of defying expectations and going their own ways regardless of fashion trends. They will be joined by two more bands, which we hope to announce soon.
Cheer-Accident is no stranger to Seaprog — their performance was one of the highlights of our 2018 festival. And they haven’t been sitting still since then. Their latest album, Here Comes the Sunset, is their 24th full-length release. Yes, you read that right: 24 albums, going back to their debut in 1986.
We’ve been trying to get Bent Knee at Seaprog for quite a while now, but scheduling has never worked out until now. We are absolutely thrilled to bring this band to our stage for what is sure to be a stellar performance. There is quite simply no band on Earth that sounds like Bent Knee, and if you haven’t seen them live before, you’re in for a treat.
We’re working two more artists for the show, which will take place Friday August 5 at Madame Lou’s at the Crocodile. Tickets are now on sale here.
As always, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to 4Culture for their generous support of the arts in Seattle (not just us!) and to our fiscal sponsor, Shunpike.
