Blue Sky Beau Brummels The Crisis The Deacons Don and The Goodtimes The Gatormen Heart The Knickerbockers The Fourth Day |

It is sad to see this edifice now. In its heyday, this was one of the "in" places to go and attracted the top bands on the Pacific Northwest music circuit.We are in the process of compiling a list of the bands that performed at Perl's in the 60's. If you had a band that played here, have a flyer or advertisement for gigs at Perl's, or remember seeing a particular band perform at this establishment, please let us know and we will add their name to the list of bands that performed here. Send any information to our Webmaster.
"When we, the Sonics, would play there (Perl's), which we usually did about once a month, it would be packed to the rafters with dancers, and we would be playing as loud as we could. We could always count on Perl's wife to walk by the bandstand at least a dozen times a night holding a sign that she always kept in the back room that said, YOU ARE TOO DAMN LOUD!"
