“Maas’s unearthing of this small group of musicians, decked out in platform shoes, soul ’fros and pimp hats, serves up pure gold with every frame.”

Thanks Blue Sunshine Film Center!

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, We're Yours.

It’s hard to believe we’re just five days away from Saturday, Sept. 4., which we’ve been anticipating ever since Wheedle’s Groove was booked to play at this year’s 40th Annual Bumbershoot Festival. Now we have even more reasons to be excited. Not only is Saturday the first day of the festival and the day Wheedle’s Groove will be shaking things up before New York’s Budos Band on the Fisher Green stage, but earlier this week, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn officially proclaimed September 4, 2010 as Wheedle’s Groove Day. Everyone, from the band members and representatives to Light In The Attic HQ, is tremendously delighted and honored to be regarded so highly for their contributions to Seattle’s storied music and film history. You can find us celebrating en masse and dancing like crazy on Saturday at the Fisher Green (State Farm) stage at 3:45pm. Come get down!

We saw some amazing films and made some wonderful new friends. Just a few of my favorites from the festival are October Country, Cold Weather, Putty Hill, Rejoice and Shout. Peter Lucas did a soul music night after the first Wheedle’s Groove screening with crazy clips from soul and funk music performances from the 1960s and 1970s. To top off a wonderful weekend, Wheedle’s Groove took home the Jury Prize for Best Film! Duluth was lovely, and I can’t wait to go back.
