Details: This one looks like it could wonderfully be straight out of the ’70s (except for the bike, possibly. I have no idea what kind of motorcycle that is). I love that outfit, and the lighting is so smooth for this photo.

Snail Mail @ the Neptune, Mon. 1/28 – Show Preview by Dagmar

Snail Mail – aka Lindsey Jordan – makes a return to Seattle tomorrow, Monday January 28th. The 19-year-old Jordan released her debut full-length album, Lush, last summer on Matador Records. Impressive! For her first album, she worked with producer Jake Aron, who, having worked with artists such as Beth Orton and Jamie Lidell, proved to be an excellent choice. You can also definitely hear Sonic Youth in the Maryland-born singer-songwriter’s sound. Snail Mail will perform as an entire band on Monday, with Choir Boy as openers.

Los Angeles’ Dorothy will bring their Freedom Tour to the Neptune tomorrow, Saturday January 26th.
The five-piece, led by singer Dorothy Martin, play hard rock. That’s enough to know for a rock fan to get revved up, but also singer Martin has a powerful, incredible voice (she’s been compared to Grace Slick and Patti Smith). Two albums into their career – 2016’s Rockisdead and this year’s 28 Days in the Valley – you get the feeling they’re going to be around for a long time. In addition, they were openers for hard rockers Greta Van Fleet last year.
Dorothy worked with esteemed producer Linda Perry on 28 Days in the Valley. Martin explained that “This was a spiritual journey and very healing, and because of that it’s an unapologetically honest record. . . Somehow Linda [Perry] knew I had more to give as a singer and writer. I used to hide behind the tough girl sound, but she taught me that there is power in my vulnerability and that’s what you get on this record.”
New York rock quartet Spirit Animal will open
