Show Review and Photos: The Kooks at the Showbox
10/31/08
The Kooks played a sold out show recently in Seattle and even though they were missing under the weather drummer Paul Garred, they were alarmingly vigorous. This was my first time seeing them live and this band has the charisma to continue on their major way.

CD Review: Ode to J. Smith by Travis
10/30/08
Ode to J. Smith, Travis’ sixth album, is totally beautiful. Each track stands out and they’re the kind of band whose members are absolutely integral to their sound. I wouldn’t want to swap out any of these guys from this band.
Get Up bounds along with quite tribal drumming an -

I am catching up, slowly but surely, on photos & interviews etc. I took some pix of Kings of Leon last week when they played the Paramount. This is a photogenic group if there ever was one. I especially like this photo of drummer Nathan Followill blowing a bubble.

Photos and Show Review: We Are Scientists at the Paramount
10/25/08
We Are Scientists formed in 2000. They’re from Brooklyn and I am pretty sure they’ve been to Seattle several times (at least once or twice). So why did it take me until 2008 to see this band? Okay one reason is I don’t live in Brooklyn and the other reason is . . . I am not sure what my other reason -
Photos: Angels and Airwaves

I took some pix of Angels and Airwaves when they opened for Weezer a couple of weeks ago. I really, really, really like this band. According to a photographer friend of mine who was shooting with me, I was going all giddy. Well, here's why:

Show Review & Photos: Cut Copy with the Presets and Heartbreak
10/16/08
I’ve mentioned dream triple bills before but this one really took the cake – you’ve got Heartbreak opening, the Presets in between and Cut Copy headlining and you’ve also got a crowd of seriously crazed fans I don’t think I have ever seen matched at the Showbox.
Heartbreak, a British duo -
Weezer @ Key Arena in Seattle
10/13/08
How do you get a Seattle crowd to adore you even more than they already do? Point out, as Rivers Cuomo did on Saturday night that, "Without Seattle there would be no Weezer."
Weezer acknowledges this as well in Heart Songs with a reference to Nirvana's Nevermind: Back in 1 -
Interview & Photos: Travis
10/11/08
I first heard Travis when I came across their song Why Does It Always Rain on Me? – it was in an episode of East Enders and Ian Beale was in a car, processing the discovery of his wife’s affair. It was raining. Perhaps it’s a strange way to discover a band but I have found EastEnders features many b -

On Saturday night I saw the band See Me River at the Tractor. I am ashamed to admit this was the first time I had ever been to the Tractor, a cozy venue indeed.

Their song, Wake Up Are You Wasted has been stuck in my head all weekend. I like t -
CD Review: The Royal Bear
10/02/08
The Royal Bear's debut ep is ideal. It's got four songs on it filled with a juicy wallop of flickering guitar work and New Romantic rhythm – add to this synths and pensive vocals, then shake it up and let it have its way.
