On Saturday, February 19, the Skylark Cafe hosted Seattle rock musicians Apology Wars, Asterhouse, and Cashing in Karma.
The Skylark, located in the Delridge neighborhood in West Seattle, is known both for its live music space and its food menu, which features house-made bacon and pastrami. During the COVID-19 shutdown, the venue survived largely by opening up an outdoor patio for eating and allowing customers to order takeout.
Asterhouse, a raucous rock band reminiscent of The Doors, opened the show. They brought two of frontman John Thornburg’s music students on stage to help drum (the Skylark is all-ages until 10 p.m.). Indie alt-rock band Cashing in Karma, fronted by a sequin-clad Jonny Barrett, took the middle set. Apology Wars, a Bellingham-found pop-leaning pop-rock band, closed the show.
