Gary Horn – Windowpane has become symbolic for the never-say-die, hard rocking Seattelites who identify with the heavy metal & grudge scene all the way back to the 80s. Tonight is a sold out show for the band’s self-titled CD release party and anticipation is visible in the crowd. People want to party.
The High Dive was packed with a mass of jovial souls on Jan. 30, though it was bittersweet night for many. Vox Mod (Scot Porter), esteemed local DJ and one third of the powerful local band Lazer Kitty, had recently announced via social media that he’s moving to Oregon for a change of pace, making this the last Lazer Kitty for the foreseeable future.
AJ Dent – Seattle band Bread & Butter kicked the Neptune Theater’s curtain apart on the evening of Jan 21, infatuating the all-ages crowd. I’ve never heard “I love you!” yelled so many times at a night’s opener.
Gary Horn – Since its reopening less than a year ago, Capitol Hill club Chop Suey has done an amazing job redefining itself both internally (new owners, décor that both matches and doesn’t match) and externally (a swell mix of offerings, from dance to punk, including both local and national acts).
Stephanie Oster – Tad Doyle’s latest project, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, gleefully cast us into a dark, and brooding apocalyptic mindset earlier this month at the Tractor Tavern with tons of power, a wall of sound, and layers of fascinating tones that transported the audience into a different plane of reality.
