PHOTOS: PECK FEST 2013, HARD L, SEATTLE, WA. 9/8/13 (WITH PERFORMANCE BY PONY TIME)

It's a good and important thing to support art and artists, because without them our world is surely a lesser place. Art and music nurtures the better parts of ourselves, and I am ALL ABOUT BETTERMENT. Anyway, I was very glad to stop by Peck Fest 2013 in the tiny Hard L gallery/performance space in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Stacy Peck likes to make fun and funny art, videos, and plays in several bands, which is I believe is the law for garage punk musicians. The centerpiece to Peck Fest was a performance by Pony Time, an awesome fuzzbass-'n-drums pop punk duo (Peck bashes the cans while pal Luke Beetham shreds on bass and vocals). Their latest album is 2013's "Go Find Your Own," which I own and suggest that you go find your own, too, like NOW! Pony Time is going out on a national live in concert tour soon, so go give 'em some love.

Congrats on Peck Fest 2013, Stacy! Peck on!
