“The Seattle Band Map explores how bands from the Pacific Northwest are interconnected through personal relationships and collaborations. Bands are connected if a) they share band members or b) two artists have collaborated on a project. For the purposes of this map, to qualify as a band, a project must have recorded and publicly shared at least one song and/or played a public show.”
