Band: Tove Lo
Song: “Disco Tits”
Why You Want To Watch: Tove Lo’s video for “Disco Tits” features a puppet boyfriend. That little puppet is super cute, and I love the Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo, so of course I had to check this one out immediately. It’s brilliant. Directed by fellow Swede, Tim Erem, Tove Lo admits of it on Facebook: you say I’m an iconic bitch cause I did some puppet sex yah. Now, find out what happens after she asks the puppet, “If you could pick any flavor once, would you still choose vanilla?”

San Diego-based Elise Trouw brought her one woman band to the Royal Room in the Columbia City neighborhood in south Seattle. Drums, bass, guitar and piano – she played them all, accompanied by prerecorded music and looping. Her stop in Seattle was midway through her five city west coast tour (her first!). Earlier this year, Trouw released her debut album, Unraveling, on her own Goober Records label. Given the enthusiastic response from the audience, expect Trouw to be on tour again next year with a stop in Seattle.

England’s Foals made an appearance in Seattle last fall. We’re always committed to sharing photos, no matter how far in time we need to go, so this photo series by Casey Brevig comes in as number 13 in our Memory Lane Series. Again, our editor apologies that this series even exists, but we’re making a huge push to get all the awesome editorial work up before end of the year. How exciting is that? Thanks to Foals for visiting Seattle, and for being an amazing band!

LÉON
Wow, and now for the final photos by Kirk Stauffer of Bumbershoot 2017, leading off with Stockholm, Sweden’s LÉON. LÉON’s been in the area approximately 3 times this year, and her popularity just keeps growing. Northwest rock band Red Fang made an appearance, as did Brit Lucie Silvas. Los Angeles by way of Berlin, Germany, artist Bibi Bourelly was an act fans got to see doing her material (she’s written some hit for other musicians). And there were beautiful rabbit sculptures and attendees everywhere!

Getting deep, and midway, through our Bumbershoot photo coverage with material from Simon Krane. New Yorkers Sofi Tukker and the Skins lead this post, while we’re also giving some love to Pacific Northwest acts Tacocat, Shelby Earl and Joseph. This is one of the things that makes Bumbershoot so awesome: in one day you can catch bands from both American coasts, as well as an Australian group, Middle Kids! Enjoy these shots of everyone outside, when we could go outside and be kind of warm in Seattle.
