There are way too many good concerts in Seattle in the next 3 months

Gorillaz perform at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California.

I spend a lot of money on shows–it’s just too hard to resist all the amazing bands that come through Seattle all the time. The next few months are going to especially bad for my wallet, however, because it feels like 3/4 of my favorite bands right now are going to be playing a show here in the next several months.

I’m going to try to break it down, show-by-show, to figure out which ones are worthy of my money and which bands I might have to miss this time around.

Behind the jump you’ll find a list of the notable shows with their dates, prices and links to tickets. Anyone want to go to any with me?
