K.Flay

One day before Halloween in 2016, the wonderful and varied K.Flay performed at Barboza. This year has been very good for her, as she’s released her second album, Every Where Is Some Where, and grabbed an opening slot for Imagine Dragons. She’s also given back; proceeds from her book, Crush Me Book, benefit three organizations to help battle homelessness and child abuse. Well done. For her Seattle date, she was joined by Nightly and Layne. Here we are, with a very special part 16 of Back Beat Seattle’s Memory Lane Series.

RL Grime

Electronic DJ RL Grime took his Nova Tour to Seattle’s WaMu Theater on October, 13th. That was Friday the 13th if anyone missed that. RL Grime is set to release his new LP, Nova, this year. Present for Christmas? By the way, he just released a new track, “Era,” last week. Other cool news: Honolulu, Hawaii’s Graves and Miami, Florida’s GTA were the opening acts, with Graves joing RL Grime for all dates. Nice!

Yelle‘s Yelle

Tuesday, October 24th is day one of Yelle’s Club Party Tour‘s West Coast dates! The French duo’s heading straight down from Vancouver, Canada tonight or Tuesday, and we’re looking forward to them playing the Crocodile.

Yelle, made up of singer Yelle and GrandMarnier, have released three albums and numerous EPs since 2007. After their 2007 debut Pop Up, they’ve also worked many artists, including Robyn, Katy Perry and Crookers. Yelle fans have been very lucky in being able to see the band perform live, with their French songs crossing over to non-French speaking countries. It’s so important to learn about the world’s cultures, and it’s just all that much better when we can do this by joining languages with cool electro sounds, right? This year, Yelle released “Romeo,” which explains exactly what listening to Yelle is like: on est bien/on est haut/on est infiniment bien/on est infiniment beau.

The event is all ages and now sold out, but I always encourage people to keep checking the site. Sometimes additional tickets are released unexpectedly!
