Two years ago today, KEXP opened the doors to our new home in Seattle Center. As we celebrate this momentous occasion in our station’s history, let’s revisit some of the videos from the first sessions recorded in our space.
Are genetics the root cause of musicality? It's a much-debated idea, but after our exhaustive research of sibling bands, we're convinced it could be true. In today's video roundup, we're celebrating National Sibling Day by bringing some lesser-known sibling bands to the forefront.
Happy Tartan Day! Okay, so it's not really a Scottish holiday, but one made up by the U.S. back in 1982 to celebrate Scottish heritage. We can't think of a better way to celebrate than with some of our favorite Scottish bands.

KEXP is excited to yet again partner with the Everett Music Initiative to present the 2018 Fisherman's Village Music Festival, March 30th through April 1st in downtown Everett.
February 2nd is Groundhog Day. As you might recall from the 1993 Bill Murray film, the infamous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil will emerge from hibernation on this day. Here's KEXP playlist for songs in his honor.
