Friday, April 11: Captain Jack Fest '14

The Midnight Sun

By Nikki McCoy on April 7, 2014

OK, if you are going to have nine bands play a show, it's awesome to start at 4:30 in the afternoon, and it's awesome to make it all ages. So, there's that going for Captain Jack Fest '14. The other thing going is it's at The Midnight Sun, which is going through some changes. (More on that in a different article - stay tuned.) But, perhaps, the most important thing is the line-up totally rules. Do I write about our 2014 Best of Olympia Best New Band winner Fruit Juice and their poppy, fantastic dance vibe? Do I write about Mosquito Hawk's sexy, tight, space-themed rock? Or do I write about Captain Algebra's punk/metal, Karp-esque skills? Man, Olympia rules.

CAPTAIN JACK FEST '14, w/The Straws, Hot Hoodoo, Mosquito Hawk, Captain Algebra, Them Dogs, Tidals, Fruit Juice, Wauby, A Friend, 4:30 p.m., all ages, The Midnight Sun, 113 N. Columbia St., Olympia, $5
