Welcome to Electric Phase. It ain't no teenage craze! My name is Shawn Skager and for the last decade I've been working in community papers in the Puget Sound area, trying to figure out a way to meld my two passions - writing and music. Now I've found it and it's called Electric Phase, an outlet for information about music throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. So visit often and partake of the tasty morsels of musical information. And remember - read it, love it, link it, comment it. This whole online community thing is only as good as the people that participate. So let me know what you think and what you're listening to. And thanks to the band UFO for providing the name of the blog, a song from their classic 1977 album "Lights Out." See ya.
