New Years Eve at the Red Bicycle

If you happened to go to the Church of Great Rain show last February, you saw an amazing band perform called Publish The Quest. They were responsible for a lot of bodies moving in chairs that night and sold a lot of CD’s because of it. Then they blew the roof off the Bike at the Halloween show this year.

Publish The Quest blends groove music melodies with vocally driven compositions that continually question social issues through story telling. Songwriter Jacob Bain formed the band in 2008 to record The Threads. As a result of that experience, seven passionate people have come together to form a strong bond and a band that is serious about keeping feet moving, bodies shaking and minds engaged!

Publish The Quest is destined to make a difference both at home and abroad. After recording with Femi Kuti, Matt Chamberlain, Eyvind Kang, Radioactive and Vieux Farka Touré, the band went into the studio recently to record a song to benefit music education in Cape Verde. Sodade, which features Cape Verdean vocalist Laise Sanches, was released in Portugal earlier this year.

Publish The Quest performed in Zimbabwe in April at the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA). HIFA was a six day annual festival and workshop program that showcased the very best of local, regional and international arts and culture in a comprehensive festival program of theatre, dance, music, circus, street performance, spoken word and visual arts.

PTQ is fresh off a road trip through California this month and about to embark upon another trip to Poland in November, where they will open for the amazing Nneka.

This is an all-ages show until 11pm, then 21+ after that. The cover charge is only $10.

Saturday, December 31, 9:30pm. At the Red Bicycle, 17618 Vashon Hwy - 206-463-5959
