Seattle’s Visqueen is a rock band of triumphs. Frontwoman/guitaritst/songwriter Miss Everything Visqueen Rachel Flotard is a one in a million rocker with the sparkling personality of the girl you want to sit around and tell jokes with and the driven passion she inherited from her late great father, George E. Flotard, Jr.

Flotard, inspired by her father’s battle with cancer and his blue collar work ethics as a steamfitter in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, she set out and formed her own label Local 638 Records and released one of the best, if not the best album of 2009 – Message to Garcia.

Recently back from overseas where Flotard spent the holidays delivering supplies to a school in Laos, she has returned to promoting Visqueen and is ready to hit the road to promote Message To Garcia.

Below are the following dates for Visqueen’s upcoming West Coast tour with more dates to be added.

Rate this:

We Are Wolves: Invisible Violence

These Canadians are a hard band to pinpoint, but that is also the reason they are so damn fun to listen to.

The Soul Movers: On The In Side

Every town should have, assuming that it is a place worth living, a band like the Soul Movers. It makes for a great night out. Real music performed in bars for real people with real beer.

The Slits: Trapped Animal

Ari Up and Tessa Pollitt are back with a band whose ingredients — punk, reggae, hip hop, and even middle eastern music — have had enough time to blend, ferment, and become spicy, pungent, and tasty.

Russian Circles: Geneva

The Chicago-based post-rock unit Russian Circles is a three-piece group known for their instrumental approach to post-hardcore/post-melodic.

Prairie Cartel: Where Did All My People Go

A friend asked me to describe The Prairie Cartel’s sound to him, and the first thing to come to mind was “electronic rock you could dance to while punching someone in the face.”
