Maurice Harnsberry – I set out to photograph G-Eazy’s recent performance at the Showare Center near Seattle with a bit of skepticism. I’m not what you’d call a “big fan,” but so many of my friends are, so I decided to see if a live performance would win me over. And it worked.
Travis Trautt – I’d heard a couple of songs from heralded UK post-punk band Shame and was intrigued, so when I heard they were playing Barboza with support from Seattle’s great Monsterwatch (#41for2017). I had to get myself out on a Tuesday night.
Andy Perkovich – Starting this evening of music at Seattle’s Chop Suey was Second Still, a 3 piece band originally hailing from Brooklyn that now resides in Los Angeles. The group combines beautiful vocals, pounding 80’s synth beats, steady bass, and a reverb soaked guitar to take it’s listener on a dark and dreamy ride.
Rachel Bennett – I have always liked Spoon. I grew up hearing their music on alternative radio and their song “The Way We Get By” on iconic TV show The O.C. I even saw them live when I was 15 or 16 years old (but, even though Spoon was headlining, my teenage self was really there to see Passion Pit and Phoenix who opened the show).
Eric Tra – Canadian musical conglomerate Broken Social Scene was one of my “gateway bands” into indie rock music back in the early 2000s, a time when most popular rock hits seemed to all be some bizarre amalgamation of nu-metal and scream. Following a couple year hiatus following their last release, Forgiveness Rock Record, the band is back on tour promoting their new album Hug of Thunder.
