Belltown Yacht Club Presents, Chairs for Giants / The Angry Lisa's / Seth Anderson
Chairs for Giants
C4G is an outfit out of Seattle, WA. Primary composer and writer is Matt Strutynski and through the years the band has been comprised of the best that the Seattle music scene has to offer. Each batch of songs brings a different vibe to the table showing that this project cannot be put into a single box. But what is certain is that the songs will make you feel.
The Angry Lisa's
Regret, nostalgia, gratitude, and sorrow color the restless memories that he has collected over the last decade, memories that display themselves in bristling intensity on the band’s upcoming album, Slate Violet. The act of writing is not merely a passion for Taylor, but also a necessity; it is the sole means by which he is able to process and heal from those chapters of his past. “I need that process to do that for me. Cheap man’s therapy.”
Slate Violet pairs these instances with a rich palette of guitars and rolling drums that beg to be unleashed through car speakers while tearing across a moonlit highway. The Angry Lisas reflect not only pain, but also, and more importantly, the ecstatic relief of its release, a relief that comes in the form of riff-rock anthems that are as catchy as they are earnest. The result is an emotional atlas that tackles some of the most challenging moments in Taylor’s twenties with bold self-reflection, and most notably, humility, as he faces the reality that it is often our own faults that are the most difficult to accept.
Seth Anderson
Seth Anderson has spent his time on a journey; in search of his truth, purpose, and an understanding of the world around him and his place in it. His songwriting offers an honest view of life from a unique perspective that has stemmed from years of travelling, moving from town to town, city to city, highway to highway; the high peaks, the low valleys, and all the spaces in between. Through all of this, there maintains one common thread- a bellow for love and hope. With an intensely emotional connection to his craft, Seth’s delivery is genuine, yet at times ferocious with both conviction and vulnerability, comparative to artists such as Steve Earle, AA Bondy, the Weakerthans, and Frank Turner. His evolution began in a small town DIY scene where he grew up in Hartland, New Brunswick; followed by years of a blue-collar approach to his career, putting in thousands of miles while taking his music to audiences all over the world. His highly anticipated February, 2020 release, “We Could Be.” (Snappy Little Numbers), was an impressive step forward for Seth in his exploration of songwriting, musical styles and sounds.
He returns with his new single, “Big Red Sun”.
“I wrote this song while living in a new city, trying to process the feelings that came with that. Along with excitement, there was isolation, and the challenge to be open to new people and opportunities. I was also processing the loss of some important people in my life, so it was a very transformative period.”
Recorded at Noble Street Studios under the guidance of producer/engineer and friend, Trevor Anderson, they emerged with a vibrant folk-pop recording which beautifully captured the emotional rawness intended from the origin of the song’s creation.
. A singer/songwriter with east coast roots who has called Canmore, Alberta his home since 2004.
Blending elements of indie-rock and emo-folk, he summons the spirit of punk rock in his high energy performances, anchored by his catchy, truth laden, heart driven lyrics; strongly connected to the community and surroundings of his Rocky Mountain home of the last decade, Canmore, Alberta. In 2016 Seth joined Joey Cape's (Lagwagon) One Week Records roster based in San Francisco, CA to reveal his well-received fourth full length effort.
The vinyl release of his One Week album followed with Little Rocket Records (UK) in 2017.
February, 2020, saw the release of “We Could Be”, where he worked alongside Canadian songwriter/author/musician Eamon McGrath to produce and record the album featuring a backing band comprised of Eamon McGrath, Chuck Coles, Clay Jones, Will Whitwham, and Danny Miles. The track listing features a blend of full band arrangements, along with a handful of simply produced recordings of he and his acoustic guitar, holding onto the essence of his awe-striking live performances. An honest, emotional statement of loss, hope, and the need for a world that embraces love. The album was off to a positive start, as the track "My One Belief" was chosen by CBC's television series "Kim's Convenience" to be included in an episode, as well as radio play from other tracks from the LP.
With five full length albums, and upwards of 15 years of road experience he most recently had opportunities to tour with Joey Cape (Lagwagon), Off With Their Heads, Jon Snodgrass (Drag The River), Kj Jansen (Chixdiggit), and others which have taken him across Canada, the United States, and Europe connecting with many new audiences and establishing an international fanbase. With tour release plans around “We Could Be.” through out North America and Europe sidelined due to Covid 19, Seth has been focusing on material for release, with his sights set on getting back to his extensive touring schedule.
