Electronic duo Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin headlined the Neptune on September 7th, 2024. Their visit, which included additional musicians onstage, brought to a live audience tracks from album two, Imaginal Disk. The album was well received by fans and critics, just as their debut, Mercurial World garnered acclaim. Kumo 99 – also an electronic duo but adding some industrial sounds, opened.

In its 15th year, Sweet Dreams, The Music of Patsy Cline, returned to the Triple Door last weekend for three shows.  Singer-songwriters from across the country –  Jessica Lynne Witty, Star Anna, Miller Campbell, Kimmi Bitter, and Hillary Fretland – each sang numerous Patsy Cline songs in two sets, complete with a costume change.  Musicians Rebecca Young (bass), William Stover (piano), Aaron O’Neil (drums), Dave Harmonson (pedal steel), and Dan Rainard (guitar) backed the singers.

A few day 2 Bumbershoot highlights include Acid Tongue, Warren Dunes, BALTHVS, All Them Witches, Ladytron and James Blake. As with day 1, I managed to set up these bands so you can catch them all, with some overlap between Acid Tongue and All Them Witches. Fortunately those stages are pretty close. Have a great time everyone!!!

Mudhoney, Zeke, Hickoids, Redneck Girlfriend, and 38 Coffin at Slim’s Last Chance

Mudhoney joined an already packed lineup of 38 Coffin, Redneck Girlfriend, Hickoids, and Zeke for a late July benefit for Derelicts singer Duane Ash Shoal at Slim’s Last Chance. The show would have very likely sold out on the strength of the original bill but did so in a flash when Mudhoney was added a week before the event. All 5 bands turned in strong performances to a wildly appreciative audience on one of the warmer afternoons of the summer. The quality of the music was strong across the entire bill but Mudhoney and Zeke in particular really brought the afternoon to a sweaty and ear ringing conclusion. Money was raised for a much-loved member of the Seattle music community and a large and happy crowd was treated to an afternoon of excellent rock & roll. Cheers to the bands and everyone involved.
