Also joining the Foos, who is set to return with their delayed tenth studio album “Medicine at Midnight” on February 5, in the Wednesday’s (January 27) “Viva Vera 20!” are fellow musicians uch as TV on the Radio, Tacocat, Mike Park, Jeff Rosenstock, and No Age. They will celebrate 20 years since the first ever gig at the community-oriented Vera Project non-profit venue.
TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe, who played at the Vera Project with his band early on in its career, said, “I remember getting (to Vera) and the sense of community and love for the space and the people who were in it was immediate and palpable. It makes me so happy that it’s still around to provide that inspiration and that community to anyone who shows up, because that’s a life-changing quality.”
Singer Perfume Genius and rapper Macklemore were also among the artists who staged early shows at the Seattle space, before achieving mainstream success.
