Singer-songwriter Paige Fish headlined at Baba Yaga on the first leg of her The Midnight Crisis Tour. Fish’s soulful blend of indie folk and country-pop, driven by infectious hooks, was echoed by the audience as they sang along on every song in the packed intimate venue.

Cool Cover: Natanya‘s ATTITUDE ERA!
Details: British artist Natanya tapped director/designer Tally Francish for the ATTITUDE ERA! cover. Francish, who also works in production and casting, created this ensemble of classic-looking clowns of old – like in Italian art. She’s worked with Vivienne Westwood and Idris Elba (heart heart heart) among many others. I love the contrast with red and pink flowers, stripes, and those cool outfits. You can listen to the mixtape here.

Castle Rat brought their Summon The Beasts Tour to The Showbox in Seattle on October 7, 2026, and the night felt like part heavy metal show, part fantasy stage play.
After openers Wraith Knight and Unto Others, the band hit the stage and leaned all the way into the theatrics. The show was dramatic and over the top, and above all it was fun.
Bass, guitar, and drum solos gave each member a turn in the spotlight, and an encore of “Cry for Me” and “SIREN” sent the crowd out on a high.
The band clearly enjoyed the spectacle as much as the audience did.
The band Unto Others opened.

Emei’s theatrical, high-energy performance at the Showbox was exactly what the Seattle audience wanted. Her mix of powerhouse vocals, playful personality, and constant interaction with the crowd delivered a night to remember during a recent stop on her Night at the Opera Tour. Complete with two dancers in masquerade masks, plus guitar and drums, Emei kept everyone engaged from beginning to end. Pop singer Madelline opened.
