Seattle band Tacocat talks about what it's like to be working musicians in a changing city

So how does a musician actually “make it” in Seattle? We talked to Bree McKenna and Eric Randall of Tacocat, the palindromic punk-pop stars of Seattle’s garage rock scene, about how they’ve seen that scene change over the course of their careers, what it’s like to be a band in such a rapidly transforming city, and how women are running shit on Seattle stages, both big and bar-sized, more than they ever have been before.

Oh no the question got cut off. Sure, most people love the sun, but Seattle cool folks, it's clean, with seemingly supportive music scene.

+Markrar no, that's just how his face is. He was quite pleasant IRL. Sadly, some of us suffer from RBF...
