The city that gave you Nirvana, Sleater Kinny, and the Gossip amongst others, has some other great shit.
The Strangers were one of my favorite live acts in Oly, their mp3s don’t really do them justice.
There’s a couple more Strangers tracks here, and two by my friend Adam’s band Kickball.
Found on Catbirdseat
I used to live next door to Kallisti, who are one of the only “emo” bands that I actually like. Actually, maybe the only. Only a couple of the lives mp3s on this page actually work.
Found on this list of Oly bands.
Watch this space for more Oly music…

Heyy,
Olympia is not the city that gave the world Nirvana. In this case, the city that gave “you” Nirvana is Aberdeen. But I wonder if saying this matters, seeing as how the post is from September 7th, 2004.
I could be wrong, but didn’t Nirvana (as the Stiff Woodies) form in Olympia? I know Cobain was from Aberdeen, but I thought the band got their start in Oly.
You know, you’re probably right. All apologies, man.
