Vito's–Sat, October 29


It’s time to start working on your costume for Vito’s Halloween Party with Lushy!
Sat, October 29, 9pm – Sun, October 30, 2am
The Hideout, The Sorrento and Vito’s Proudly Present the Second Annual ER COSTUME CRAWL
Join us for the second annual ER Costume Crawl with a $500.00 grand prize for best costume! First Hill rounds up a great turnout for this artist fueled costume party, and all three destinations have great music and festivities planned – DJ Stack spinning records at the Hideout, Lushy performing at Vito’s and a haunted suite at the Sorrento to boot! It is a great party, with no cover charge, but you must be 21+ with proper id and you must be in costume – it’s just too crowded otherwise! Grab a room at the Sorrento and settle in for a wild and crazy time!

Happy Halloween!

ABOUT VITOS
Vito’s is an iconic restaurant and lounge located on First Hill. Opened in 1953, it has a history rich in cocktail culture, organized crime and east coast, family style Italian food.

In April of 2010, Jeff Scott and Greg Lundgren purchased this Seattle institution and began a major restoration of the space. Their goal is to return Vito’s to the glamor and style of the 1950s, respect its colorful past and set the course for a 21st-century resurrection. Over the years the club has fallen into disrepair and poor alterations. They have replaced the dance floor with a performance space centered around a grand piano, with lounge singers, jazz trios and Lynchian curiosities that will dazzle and entertain into the early morning.

Free First Thursdays at EMP|SFM offers free admission and music from 5-8 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month during winter hours. Due to capacity issues, Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition will be closed during these evenings.

December’s Free First Thursday:
Performances by surf rock masters King of Hawaii at 5:30 pm and lounge pop provocateurs Lushy at 6:30 pm in Sky Church.

Lushy concocts a refreshing pop style that blends bossa beats with elements of lounge, surf, new wave, ska and sixties pop to create their own distinctive intercontinental sound…think Jetsons on Vespas with swizzle sticks and distortion pedals. Lounge-y and danceable holiday fun with special guest Lynval Golding of The Specials! Listen to them here.

Formed in 1996, King of Hawaii is an all-instrumental five-piece band that hails from Seattle. With all-original compositions, the band is inspired by a range of music that includes 1960’s surf music, Spanish flamenco guitar and the works of guitarist Johnny Marr. Listen to King of Hawaii here.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Lushy concocts a refreshing pop style that blends bossa beats with elements of lounge, surf, new wave, ska and sixties pop to create their own distinctive intercontinental sound…think Jetsons on Vespas with swizzle sticks and distortion pedals. The 10 piece Lushy features horns: trumpet, trombone, and various saxophones plus a bevy of instrumenta rollicka: flute, synth, keys, melodica, guitars and the inevitable bongos, congas, tambourine, maracas, and shakers-martini and otherwise… this is progressive cocktail pop! Lounge-y and danceable fun with special guest Lynval Golding of The Specials!

Purty Mouth is Seattle’s camped-up country-tonk combo: a little Hedwig, a little Hee Haw, a lotta heart. Since 2002, Purty Mouth has been paying honor to the greats of country music, while putting their own special stamp on their blend of country and pop (or as they used to say, ‘countrypolitan’).
