High fives: the best concerts of 2015, Seattle Times, by Seattle Times staff Our music writers were all over the Northwest in 2015, from dive bars to dance clubs to international jazz festivals.

“We’ve never done this before!” Wimps singer and guitarist Rachel Ratner exclaimed Friday night, as the cheeky band donned their instruments at the release party for their new album, Suitcase.

Emerald City trio Wimps, which celebrates the release of its second album “Suitcase” on Friday (Nov. 13), is to Seattle’s predominantly 20-something local underground as wily 42-year-old pitcher Bartolo Colon is to the New York Mets pitching staff.

For all the punks and proud weirdos who have missed their home at Funhouse, the music venue will return to Seattle in April, this time in Eastlake.

The Funhouse, a popular nightclub across the street from Seattle Center that closed in 2012, is reopening in a new location.

Also exciting, the building will be totally safe from developers and the “boogeyman.”

After a long search and some setbacks, Brian Foss and Bobby Kuckelburg will reopen the Funhouse—the popular punk/metal-oriented dive bar that folded in 2012—in Eastlake Avenue club El Corazon‘s lounge space on April 1.

El Corazon’s “Punk Rock Fury” 10th Anniversary Show celebrates 10 Years of Punk Rock music with 10 Bands for 10 Bucks featuring Zeke.
