again with the missed connections… a couple more suggestions for this evening from your pals at metroblogging seattle:

• Three bands that we’ve seen and loved in recent months combine on one bill of intriguing and soothing awesomeness: start with warm-fuzzies from Arthur & Yu [mb], add the industrial lullabies of Danish sensations Under Byen [mb], and top off with the gorgeous postrock sountrack of Jimmy LaValle’s the Album Leaf [mb] and you have yourself one heck of a show. 8p, $12 [neumos]
• One of the better pub quizzes in town goes down every Tuesday at the Old Pecquiliar. Every time I’ve gone, it’s been packed to the gills with people hungry for trivia and cheap tacos and a lot of fun if you can get a seat. Formerly hosted by a rotating crew of Seattlests, quizmaster duties are being spread out and tonight’s event is being run by our very own Naomi. She promises to bring in a patriotic Independence Day theme in light of tomorrow’s holiday, so study up! 8p, $5/team, get there early [1722 NW Market St]
