Cool Cover: Henry Derek Elis‘ The Devil Is My Friend
Details: The Devil Is My Friend is the debut full-length by Henry Derek Elis (The Sweet Meat Love & Holy Cult). Its appropriately gothic artwork comes from Travis Smith, whose work you may have seen on album covers for artists such as Avenged Sevenfold, Slayer and Opeth. Get Elis’ first album starting October 26th.
Australian singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin is on the road with First Aid Kit and recently made a stop in Seattle. She played a solo set at the Paramount Theatre in support of her sophomore album, Eastwick / Cold Caller. A few more shows in the US, then it’s off to Europe for shows that have already sold out.

Danish singer-songwriter Agnes Obel played at a rare seated show at the Showbox at the Market. Her North American tour made a stop in support her recent album, Late Night Tales. The backing trio played cello, mellotron, percussion and keys, and all three also sang. Local Olympia-based Micaiah Sawyer opened for the very receptive audience.

Edie Brickell & New Bohemians
Edie Brickell & New Bohemians begin the west coast part of their fall tour at the Showbox on Monday, October 15th. Just last week, the Dallas band released Rocket, their first album in twelve years! Along with the New Bohemians, Brickell has had great success as a solo artist, even writing Bright Star, a musical with Steve Martin. Brickell has stayed involved with her former bandmates, recently telling Billboard, “I want to show how great this band is.” We want to see that! This show will let us all enjoy that connection and that lovely voice of Brickell’s.
