We’re putting you on to all the best things to do this weekend, with options from Seattle Independent Bookstore Day to the Ballard Makers Market Bar Hop and from the Burke Museum’s Dino Fest to the Seattle REconomy Seedling Festival. Check out our top picks of the week for more ideas. FRIDA Y LIVE MUSIC TV Star (Album Release), Casual Hex, OHRWhile local band TV Star has released a handful of EPs over the years, they’ve yet to put out a full-length record—until now. Music For Heads is a jangly mix of psych, pop, and indie rock, which they’ll bring to a live audience this Friday alongside performances from post-punk trio Casual Hex and electro-psych-pop artist OHR. The album release show is 21+, but TV Star also plays a free all-ages in-store performance on Thursday night around the corner at Sonic Boom Records. If you want to learn more about the band—including the origin of their name and the first record they bought—check out Stranger staff writer Audrey Vann’s interview for her Pop Loser column.
