      • CD Reviews: Brent Amaker and the Rodeo & Howdy Do! by Brent Amaker and the Rodeo
        08/29/08
        Brent Amaker and the Rodeo live in Seattle but by some mystery I did not know about them until last month. They are cowboys dressed in black and they are entirely welcome in the Seattle music scene.

        I can say a lot about their attractive image - again, they're cowboys dressed all in

      • Welcome Back!
        08/28/08
        You may have noticed the massive input of reviews, photos, interviews etc. on the blog. I am doing this because well, the blog is back. Some material may be seen elsewhere - some may be exclusive - and eventually I will have little things like bells and whistles e.g. photos & media back on here

      • Show Review & Photos: Switches
        08/28/08
        Certain things are slightly illegal depending on what parts of the world you live in. Some places you can only have one spouse, some places you can't be a topless woman walking around the beaches . . . to these kinds of blurred and vague illegalities I am going to add just how much I love Switc

      • Interview: Brent Amaker and the Rodeo
        08/28/08
        Brent Amaker and Mason Lowe of Brent Amaker and the Rodeo met up with me at the Cha Cha Lounge a bit ago and let me ask them all sorts of questions. I had heard they'd spent some time in a Belgian prison, well okay, played at a Belgian prison - and I was also curious about where these guys came

      • Interview: Adam Bravin of She Wants Revenge
        08/28/08
        She Wants Revenge is really sexy stuff. Their songs are curious tableaus about pain, love, lust and how it all interacts – or not. Some of my favorites are Black Liner Run, Tear You Apart, and What I Want. Made up of a duo, Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin, She Wants Revenge has released 2 cds and 3

      • Show Review & Photos: She Wants Revenge
        08/28/08
        My first exposure to She Wants Revenge took the form of my alarm clock waking me up to one of their songs, Tear You Apart. It was of course the radio edit so a certain part of it was missing. I still thought it was beautiful and sort of evil at the same time.

        I mention this because it

      • CD Review: This is Not the World by the Futureheads
        08/28/08
        When the Futureheads debuted with their self-titled cd in 2004 it was a pivotal moment for me – and I think for music. I don't know of other bands that sound quite like them and they're superb songwriters – you listen to Carnival Kids or Stupid and Shallow and tell me these aren't ins

      • Show Review & Photos: The Fratellis
        08/28/08
        The Fratellis have a seriously fierce fan base. Made up of three Glaswegians going by the names of Jon Fratelli, Mince Fratelli, and (my favorite) Barry Fratelli, the band created a special kind of frenzy.

        Yes their show at Neumo's was all ages. Still, I was shocked by the large numb

      • Show Review & Photos: George Michael
        08/28/08
        George Michael makes me smile. I realized through most of his show on Wednesday night that I was smiling - even during his ballads. It's probably, in part, because he filled that giant Key Arena with authentic, charismatic love and joy the entire 2 hours+ extravaganza. The other part - just bei

      • Show Review & Photos: Gavin Rossdale
        08/28/08
        Seattle was fortunate enough to have Gavin Rossdale perform last week at Showbox Sodo to support the release of his first solo cd,Wanderlust. Rossdale, formerly of the British band Bush, has stayed true on this cd – it's perfectly crafted and there's nothing pretentious about it. The first

      • Show Review: Nine Inch Nails
        08/28/08
        The intensity of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor is so strong you can really feel it radiate through a gigantic stadium, and that is a gift. This intensity even poked through an awe-inspiring and strange electrical curtain used through much of the show.

        Reznor has composed – and I use

      • Show Review & Photos: Judas Priest
        08/28/08
        I have had a major soft spot for Judas Priest ever since I saw the videos for Heading Out to the Highway and You've Got Another Thing Coming – they are one of the few bands I would describe as majestic. Their music, enormous and powerful, crosses over into varied tastes. People who don't e

      • Interview: Coyle Girelli of Your Vegas
        08/28/08
        I saw Your Vegas open for the Bravery in January. Right away I loved their sound and as a photographer it really is great to see this band - they are all stunners. Fortunately they actually sound great too - their debut cd, A Town and Two Cities is a brilliant mix of instantly gratifying tunes and

      • Interview: Gavin Rossdale
        08/28/08
        -This review originally appeared on my Seattle PI Blog, Beat Back.-

        Wanderlust, Gavin Rossdale's first solo album, has just hit stores. This is good news for all Bush fans - I really think if you like Bush you will love this cd. And if you don't like Bush perhaps there is no hop

      • CD Review: Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
        08/28/08
        -This review originally appeared on my Seattle PI Blog, Beat Back.-

        Alison Goldfrapp is a goddess. She has done it again and released a super sexy cd with her co-composer Will Gregory. Goldfrapp's is as surreal as it is consoling with dreamy tunes and cool vibes.
