I know you have been wanting to come check out Foscil during the 6 month residency that they have been holding at BLVD but time just kept on slipping. Well now is the time to do it. Well actually now is the last time that you can come see them do their thing at BLVD. If you don’t know, Foscil is Seattles premiere Nu - Baroque progressive Jazz Hop quartet, Kinda like Tortoise if they were raised on a diet of Wu Tang and Ninja Tune. So please come down to experience one of Seattles best bands.

BLVD Gallery is proud to announce a new music performance series featuring Seattle’s “Post Baroque Nu-Hop” ensemble FOSCIL. Foscils music is an amalgam of diverse influences touching on the atmospheric production of Wu Tangs RZA, the out-jazz of Miles, and the psychedelic meandering of Zappa.
The series of shows, titled “Residential”, will occur on the last Friday of every month with a different incarnation of Foscil. While the first show in January will feature the band in its regular lineup subsequent shows will be an opportunity for Foscil to explore their material through a variety of approaches including the use of the very deep talent pool here in Seattle. “The goal is to evolve”, says member Adam Swan “ People are in an artistic state of mind in the gallery setting and that environment lends itself to different perspectives of what our band can be”.
