Asher Hershey Krist Novoselic, rockin' with The Presidents of the United States of America at The Croc in September.
Last September, Seattle's music establishment came out in support of the individual campaigns of Dow Constantine, Mike McGinn, and Peter Holmes. It's a sweep of wins. Having a politically active music/entertainment community goes back many years, and has produced officials like bandleader Vic Meyers, who served at different times as Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State.
The Crocodile hosted various events during election season that not only raised thousands of dollars, but also got good coverage and brought glam to campaigns. These kinds of events will now be a must-do for candidates seeking office locally and beyond.
Novoselic's column runs every Tuesday on the Daily Weekly. On Fridays he writes on Reverb about what he's listening to.

Krist,
Go check out politically conscious rapper Immortal Technique at Neumos in Seattle tonight if you can. I think you'll really dig it!
