It started as a scrappy local label known for breaking some of the biggest names in grunge (Nirvana, anyone?), but in the last couple of decades, Seattle-based Sub Pop Records has grown into a mega-force in the music industry, known across the planet for releasing killer music that spans a variety of genres. For example, current releases include the layered harmonies of The Head and the Heart, the experimental noise punk of No Age, Lyla Foy’s delicate dreamy pop and the recent (awesome) album from German electro-popsters The Notwist, whom you might recall from their super-popular release Neon Golden way back in 2002.
To celebrate Sub Pop’s continued world domination, Nordstrom is honoring its two founders, Jonathan Poneman and Bruce Pavitt, with bronze footprints in front of our Downtown Seattle store and a live performance from Sub Pop’s own Helio Sequence. If you’re in Seattle and want to check it out, the event takes place Wednesday, April 9, at 3pm. Until then, play around with our Sub Pop window (also at the Downtown Seattle store): an interactive touch-screen experience that allows the user to choose and watch videos from various Sub Pop bands over the years.
