Graham Isaac – Dissolution and dispersal is a funny thing in art; when bands lose or add members, it can call into question the nature of the artists’ work, identity, and even integrity. For every band that essentially becomes a one-man show, there are groups that re-name themselves or disband over far smaller changes.
Ian Bremner – The crowd seems fairly tame as I wait for Mac DeMarco to take the stage for the first of shows at Seattle’s Moore Theatre. Once the lights dim, however, young fans – who have been patiently waiting in their seats – immediately flood the aisles to get as close as they can to one of their heroes.
Gary Horn – If you’re going to Bumbershoot – Seattle’s four decade old music and arts festival – for just a single day, you really should target Saturday. It usually boasts the most popular artists and the highest attendance (assuming that people-watching is your thing). This year was no exception.
Lindsey Potter – I’m excited by this year’s lineup and specifically the main stage acts scheduled for opening day, so I’ve got a tight schedule to keep. But there are too many distractions. En route to the first stop on my agenda I change directions because I NEED to get a better look at the inflatable white bunnies guarding the Bumbershoot sign.
