A conversation with Seattle
Last Wednesday, supermodel Candice Swanepoel — all legs and glorious hair — made a visit to Bellevue Square’s Victoria’s Secret store to promote the Swim 2013 collection. (Despite bikini-wearing weather happening maybe two months out of the year, Seattle had rallied enough votes to win an Angel visit. Hooray Seattle!)

Hot Water Music, La Dispute, and The Menzingers ended their weeks long tour together the other night at our very own Showbox at the Market. And what a show it was! All three punk bands play a very different brand of the stuff, but together it was a night of great music. We were there to capture it just for you.

If you have an indie-music-playing device, you’re most likely familiar with Noah and the Whale’s “5 Years Time,” and, more recently, off the new album Last Night on Earth, the single “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.” Does Fink’s deadpan baritone remind you a little of Beat Happening’s more basso Calvin Johnson?

Bumbershoot Saturday is in full swing. The great Shabazz Palaces or Pickwick dilemma is yet to come. For now the weather is nothing short of magnificent, and Spectrum Dance Theater (remember, Bumbershoot is an arts festival) just presented a world premiere to a packed Bagley Wright theater. Snapshot audience reviews: “Wow, that was awesome!” and “Way cool!” Out at the Fountain Lawn stage, a rapper explains that science is the new thing for 2012: “It’s not black or yellow any more,” he explains. “It’s boron and photons.” Continue reading Bumbershoot Day One (Photo Gallery)

Last night was the second of two nights of pre-Soundfest shows. This one was at El Corazon and featured D Generation’s first show in over 12 years. Opening the show was Dead Relatives and Prima Donna. This was just a taste of the mayhem that is going to hit Seattle’s rock venues this weekend as three packed nights of music kick off in just a few hours. You can see the entire schedule on the Seattle Soundfest Schedule page.
Here are pictures of last night’s show. I’ll be bringing you daily galleries of the fest as the weekend goes on.
