Presenting creative music in Seattle since 2013
Back in 2015, we presented Nik Turner with Flame Tree in a performance that combined one of the elder statesmen of space rock with an ensemble of Seattle musicians billed as Flame Tree. But Flame Tree still exists to this day, in a different form.
Drummer Jack Gold-Molina leads this improvising group of intrepid musical explorers towards the free frontiers of rock.

Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand is an improvising trio that’s been sowing chaos on the Seattle music scene since 2010, when Jeffrey Taylor (guitar) got together with John Semen (double bass) and Mark Ostrowski (drums).
They’ve released more than a dozen items on Bandcamp, and have also collaborated with others. Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand has performed around the Pacific Northwest with Eugene Chadbourne, feedtime, Acid Mothers Temple, Jooklo Duo, Lori Goldston, Sir Richard Bishop, Lee Ranaldo, Kinski, Chris Corsano, and James Brandon Lewis & the Messthetics. In 2025 HDTH released Albumen, a collaboration with Greg Kelley and Mike Watt, and in 2026 The Structure and Dynamics of Disordered Systems with Joe Paradiso.

Psychedelic Equinox on Saturday 10/3 with Flame Tree, Nosretep, Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand, and Vis & The Terps.
It’s only a couple of weeks from our next show at Kenyon Hall, and you don’t want to miss this one!
We’re doing a new kind of hybrid event starting out with vinyl Play ‘n’ Tell at 6:30. We’ll have an experienced DJ on hand with some progressive and experimental LPs, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own favorite albums to share a track along with a few words about why it’s special.
Then at 7:30, we’ll start with live music. First up is The Army of Experimental Children, a project of James DeJoie of Moraine and 20 or so other bands. The Army centers on his vocal music and features a seasoned ensemble of some of Seattle’s best players bringing to life songs that wander between art rock, space rock, electronic experimentation, and more.
Next up we have the Seattle debut of Portland’s Earthbound for a set of dark and intense instrumental progressive rock. Brian Heaney’s compositions are full of twists, turns, and the sounds of vintage keyboards.
Finally, we have Plash, a band that brings together math-rock and catchy vocal melodies into songs that are both complex and accessible.
On Saturday, 19 September, we return to Kenyon Hall for another Seaprog Presents show. This one features some familiar faces in new settings. It’s also an Off the Record event, so the evening will start at 6:30 with Vinyl Play ‘n’ Tell, where attendees are invited to bring in a favorite LP, play a track, and share why they think it’s worthy of attention. Tune Audio will be on hand to act as host.
Live music will start at 7:30, featuring Plash, Earthbound, and The Army of Experimental Children.
