For anyone who doesn't know, Seattle is losing a lot of small venues right now, all at once.

is gone, but .kraken.seattle will only be moving!

Seattle is full of brilliantly talented musicians and a thriving music scene, but the city is not protecting our small venues where culture is created.

Your favourite bands all had to start somewhere, and we all deserve a community of people who have our backs. This is where these things happen in Seattle - small venues. So let's support and save them!!

DONATE LINK BELOW and link in bio!

Long live our dead bars! May we continue to find and make new spaces to connect and create.

Help the Kraken out with their GoFundMe here:

Seattle Super Friends is now Kaala Seattle

HEY ROCKERS! Iris and Seattle Super Friends here with a special announcement: SUPER FRIENDS IS DEAD! Long live Super Friends! The spirit of this project will continue as Kaala Seattle. Lemme 'splain:

Three badass music lovers got together some years back and decided to do a podcast alerting Seattlites to upcoming shows in hopes of getting more people out to support local bands and venues.

Wild child Bobby Stills collaborated with Keith Ancker and The Soundcasting Network to give our beloved local music lover Adam Noble Bass a platform to share his extensive local knowledge. Joined by Mary Ortiz and then me (Iris) as cohosts, the podcast ran for a good year and a half before Seattle got the best of us and we had to take a step back.

Since then, I've putting what time, energy, and love I can into shout-outs about upcoming shows and releases, but something like this is more than a one-human job. Enter: Kaala.

In short, Kaala is basically Super Friends for Japan but focused on heavy music, and much farther along.

It's a project founded by Matt Ketchum that began with documenting, promoting, and booking extreme underground events in Tokyo, and has now expanded to include heavy-music based tours to Japan for both fans and bands, as well as a record label and various other projects driven by a love for heavy music, independent bands, and powerful community.

I joined Kaala nearly 2 years ago now, as it's so aligned with everything I've wanted to do from inside of Super Friends as well as work I've been doing to support local music since 2003, really.

So. I WELCOME you to this new chapter. It won't be terribly different from what it's been, likely. We still want to make it really easy for people to find shows they'd love, and to discover new music.

There might be a heavier focus, sonically. And it's also going to take some time to ramp up - I'm going to need some help, but in the meantime, I'll do what I can to throw upcoming events on here when I remember to!

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has supported Super Friends over the years. We're excited to bring you new awesomeness as Kaala Seattle. 📷
