The Softies play live on KEXP-FM at noon (PDT) this Friday, September 6. Later that evening they play a show at Fremont Abby in Seattle. They fill out the weekend with a show at The Unknown, in Anacortes, Washington, Saturday night. This will be The Softies' only West Coast shows until they swing through California at the end of October.
You can tune in and listen to The Softies' broadcast via the website kexp.org. The broadcast begins on Friday at 12:00 noon, Pacific Daylight Time.
The Softies have been playing shows over the summer with a set list featuring ten songs from their new album The Bed I Made (Father Daughter Records), augmented with a few songs from their three previous K releases Holiday in Rhode Island [KLP119], Winter Pageant [KLP061] and It's Love [KLP043]. All three K albums have been repressed on the long-playing (LP) phonograph record format; It's Love [KLP043] comes out on LP this Friday, Sept. 6.
