Saturday, Jan. 26: Big Business

Capitol Theater

By Nikki McCoy on January 24, 2013

Big Business is about business. The band - comprised of members from Karp, Murder City Devils and 400 Blows - is busy. It's in the heat of its Northwest tour. Jared Warren and Coady Willis split their time performing with the Melvins, and running their own label in L.A.

Adapting, I spoke with Audrey Henley, booker at Capitol Theater where Big Business will perform Saturday, Jan 26. Big Business will follow the Bones Brigade skateboard documentary that's part of Olympia Film Society's Documentary Film Festival.

"It was originally booked as a midweek show at the (Capitol Theater) Backstage," says Henley. "I had a huge fear we'd have to turn people away."

Henley knew it would be a perfect fit with Bones Brigade, and moved the sludge rockers to the front of the house allowing an extra 200 people to see the band.

"I remember so clearly music and skateboarding going together," says Henley. "They don't go together nearly as often as they should."

Big Business was stoked over the change. Apparently, the band has been following the film from city to city as they toured, never grabbing the opportunity to watch it.

"It's just that sort of magic," says Henley. "We're showing the movie; they're wrapping up the tour."
