Back in April we mentioned that 2013 marked the 25th anniversary of Sub Pop Records, and that the venerable indie-label was celebrating the occasion with a special one-day free festival dubbed Sub Pop’s Silver Jubilee. Set to take place on Saturday, July 13, in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood, the all-day fest will feature art exhibits, a record fair and of course lots of bands from throughout the label’s history. In addition to Saturday’s festivities, which will feature the likes of Built To Spill, Father John Misty, J. Mascis and Mudhoney, Sub Pop has also announced that they will host a night of comedy at the Moore Theatre on Friday, July 12. The charity event, whose proceeds will benefit a number of local organizations including KEXP, boasts an impressive roster of talent as well with Eugene Mirman, David Cross, Jon Benjamin, Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunholer all set to perform.
