Gazebos

Four friends who had long been figures on the Seattle music scene stepped into the spotlight when they formed Gazebos, a band whose music is a loose but powerful blend of punk, garage rock, and vintage pop. Founded in 2014, Gazebos feature Shannon Perry on lead vocals, a veteran of the bands Katherine Hepburn's Voice and Butts as well as a successful tattoo artist; TV Coahran on guitar, who has worked with cult hero <a href="spotify:artist:7sGhjDpOtxrMLip4lGFU7P">R. Stevie Moore</a> and runs the GGNZLA record label; Shane Herrell, who plays bass in Gazebos and Bread & Butter as well as handling guitar duties in <a href="spotify:artist:2dGSu3tGEkq0jJkwTdAqOC">the First Times</a>; and drummer Jordan T. Adams, whose résumé includes stints in Monarchies and Spurm. It didn't take long for Gazebos to develop a following in the Pacific Northwest, and in October 2014 they released their first single, "Sauna" b/w "Worse Things" (the latter a song from the musical Grease), through Coahran's label. In 2015, Gazebos had attracted the attention of <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Hardly+Art+Records%22">Hardly Art Records</a>, a <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sub+Pop%22">Sub Pop</a>-distributed Seattle indie label, and the group struck a recording deal with them. Gazebos' debut album was recorded at the group's practice space, with another Seattle fixture, Kurt Bloch of <a href="spotify:artist:2mlDM1k4J5XijZKXALxhDT">the Fastbacks</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6IfaumPVXMZ8iDue5QhuCY">the Young Fresh Fellows</a>, handling engineering and production. The finished album, Die Alone, was released in February 2016. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
