Japanese Breakfast Kick Off Tour in Seattle
Rachel Bennett – It’s awesome to see a show stacked with all women-fronted bands; it’s even more awesome when the main opener and headliner are both Asian American women who own the hell out of the stage.

Stephanie Oster – Insane expectations are reasonable when it comes to Dennis Lyxzén. The performer, known for his work in influential post punk bands The Refused and International Noise Conspiracy, is the lead singer for INVSN, which also features INC’s Sara Almgren on guitar.
Casey Brevig – Illinois-born singer, songwriter, rapper and musician K. Flay (Kristine Meredith Flaherty) stopped by the Showbox in Seattle last month as part of her Every Where Is Some Where Tour Pt. 1. After openers Sir Sly warmed up their crowd with their SoCal Indie Rock, Flay performed a mix of songs from her two studio albums, Life as a Dog (2014) and Everywhere Is Somewhere (2017).
Rachel Bennett – Something fantastic about Kyle Craft is that his recorded work and his live performances sound comparable, meaning listeners will rarely be disappointed. In both cases the music is strong and raw; Craft’s voice belts above twangy guitar riffs and catchy piano chords with beautiful inhibition and charismatic energy.
Andy Lowe – Austin is a growing city that continually pushed out quality acts and keeps its music venues alive and unsterilized. While Seattle has a great music scene, many venues have shut down or changed for the worst since I started playing the Seattle circuit -I’ve been playing in two Seattle-based bands (Devilwood and The Mighty Dreadful) for the past 8 or 9 years.
