Goldfrapp Show Review
02/04/07
Goldfrapp’s following in Seattle is tremendous. The fans not only sold out the show, they came dressed up and ready to dance. Goldfrapp knows how to create and sustain a sexy mood and Alison Goldfrapp appears a bit like an indifferent dominatrix in the best way meant. Watching her up close - hearing -

Show Review: Editors, Stellastarr*, Monsters are Waiting
02/04/07
With a triple bill of Monsters Are Waiting, Stellastarr*, and Editors I needed to stake my place early right in front of the stage to get pictures. The show was sold out and I didn’t feel like the audience would have let me back up to the front if I had left for one moment, so in total I stood about -

Interview: Upside Down's J-sun Atoms
02/04/07
Influences – musical or otherwise?
Kreskin! his e.s.p. powers! And we got the game with the mystery pendulum. I'm really into Sylvester (the mummy of a forty-five year old man found, half naked and half buried, by two cowboys in the wild west Arizona desert 1895) - I got the poster -
Show Review: Shim
02/04/07
Seattle seems to have gone back to its roots, back to rock n’ roll, pure rock n’ roll harking to the 70s. Perhaps it’s a trend in other places because one of several transplant bands from Eastern Washington, Shim, have swiftly and deservedly garnered major local attention. It’s as if Seattle has lon -
Bumbershoot 2006
02/04/07
Bumbershoot – A late recap
I used to collect those mini albums with bubble gum in them. Which I suppose is neither here nor there but I had one of Blondie's Parallel Lines and gum never tasted so good as it did while admiring that album cover and listening to any Blondie song. Live, -

Interview with the Blakes
02/04/07
The Blakes are a band I saw for the first time a year ago and was thrilled by their energy, sound, and presence. As a trio comprised of Bob Husak [drums] and brothers Garnet Keim [guitar, vocals] and Snow Keim [bass, vocals], they a truly exciting band.
I recently had dinner with them at a loca -

Interview with the Futureheads' Ross Millard
02/04/07
The Futureheads is one of my top ten bands ever, hands down. Combining melody, harmony - how do you describe something that you just have to listen to and let it take over your world? For the Futureheads create worlds in each song in the way film plays before your eyes. It jars, it snaps, then it ca
