Grace Cummings, a singer-songwriter from Australia, appeared at the Sunset in Ballard on September 29th. Cummings, who is also an actress, released her fourth album – this time on Virgin Music – called Bloodhorse! in August. This finds her on the same label with lovely artists such as Kate Hudson and Pendulum. Cummings was just nominated for an Australian Music Prize for best album of the year. We will be cheering her on. You can listen to and purchase the album on her bandcamp page. And attention fans of opener Evelyn Frances – she returns to Seattle on November 10th.

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!

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.
