We sent star photographer Tori Dickson to all three nights of Pizza Fest, the garage/punk extravaganza at the 2 Bit Saloon and Highline. It featured favorites like The Coathangers, The Shivas, and local luminaries like TacocaT, Pony Time, Summer Babes, and a lot more. Enjoy these photos!

Seattle’s premier garage rock/pizza festival, Pizzafest, returns this weekend
Starting tonight, the popular Pizzafest comes back. Formerly a mainstay at the dearly departed Funhouse, it will stretch out three nights (starting tonight!) at the 2 Bit Saloon in Ballard and Highline on Capitol Hill. It has an impressive lineup with The Coathangers, the popular Atlanta-based all woman trio, PDX’s The Shivas (who were the Timber! Fest favorite of everyone I talked to who went), plus local favorites like Pony Time, Acapulco Lips, and TacocaT. I’m particularly fond of Pony Time and The Coathangers, both of whose music we’ll include below.
As far as tickets, you can get a 3-day pass for $22 (cheap!) here, or individually for night one at the door, night two, or night three.
