100 Bands in 100 Days Presented by Verity Credit Union — Day 87: Good Co
Please check out Verity Credit Union, our great partner in the 100 Bands in 100 Days local music showcase.
Music fans of the Pacific Northwest, get ready for our sixth annual year-end daily local music showcase, 100 Bands in 100 Days, where every day until December 31st, we’ll be showcasing a new band or artist you have to know about. For the fourth year in a row, the showcase is once again presented by Verity Credit Union.
Make sure you are checking the #100Bands100Days hashtag on Twitter on a daily basis to stay on top of all the bands featured and be sure to follow Verity and NW_Music_Scene on there. Some days the featured act could be an established and locally-adored northwest-based musician and other times they could be a band with a small following that just hasn’t had their deserved time in the spotlight yet. Either way, we’re fairly confident you can come away from this daily segment with plenty of new favorites. Today’s featured act is Good Co.
About the artist:
Seattle six piece Good Co is the United States’ first live Electro Swing Band. That new old sound, Electro Swing combines the era of illicit booze, jitterbugging flappers, and underground speakeasies with the funky beats and the electric sound of today’s dance music. At Good Co performances it’s quite common for such things as onstage dance parties, 20 foot-long conga lines, and crowd sing-alongs to spontaneously break out.
One thing that’s a lot of fun about doing this showcase every year is showcasing the incredibly diverse musicians that make up the greater northwest music scene. We don’t do many bands like this one because frankly, there aren’t too many around that sound like this. Today’s featured band is doing a fine job of blazing their own musical trail in creating a unique sound that covers a wide spectrum of genres. “New Shoes” will instantly bring Lady Gaga to mind, while “Big Time Business” is so funky you can smell it. No matter which direction they are headed in, the band has an irresistible sound that at times borrows heavily from a long ago era but manages to mix in just the right amount of current energy. If you are looking for a fun band that’s full of surprises, check them out below.
