Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s a 40th birthday! The Seattle Sounders 40th Birthday!
The current incarnation of the Seattle Sounders took shape in 2009, but the first version of the Sounders began in 1974. We were a member of the NASL league, which is no longer in existence. This team did well, and played in the Soccer Bowl within three years. Despite the Sounders doing well and gaining a large following, the end of the struggling NASL League in 1983 also ended the Sounders Part One. The Sounders Part Two formed in 1994 as a part of the American Professional Soccer League before they moved to the USL in 1997 where they won four titles between the years of 1995 and 2007. 2009 marked the first season with the current team.
So come on out tonight to Century Link Field for the Sounders FC 40th Birthday celebration which also happens to be KEXP Night. The Sounders will go head to head with The Vancouver Whitecaps. We’ll get started at 5pm at Occidental Park where you can join us in the March to the Match. We’re also excited about the limited edition commemorative KEXP/Seattle Sounders FC Scarf. And now, here are a few songs and artists to get you pumped and in the Seattle spirit for tonight’s game. Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady Seattle gave the world Jimi Hendrix and I have no doubt if alive today he would be a Martins fan. Plus he would open every match with the Star Spangled Banner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PVjcIO4MT4 Nirvana - About A Girl (MTV Unplugged) Seattle also produced Nirvana. I'm guessing Kurt would be a Dempsey fan. Maybe they would have collaborated on Clint's latest...or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhcttcXcRYY Heart - Crazy on You And Seattle has Heart and if they don't play this song at a playoff match soon I'm going to be very mad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVcl0Iw3fs8 Honorable Mention: Loverboy - Turn Me Loose Vancouver BC gave the world Loverboy, one more reason they don't deserve the cup.
