Waxahatchee

Waxahatchee, a rock band – a bit indie, a bit folk – formed by Katie Crutchfield, and including her twin sister, Allison Crutchfield, starts the west coast leg of the Out in the Storm tour with an appearance at the Neptune Theatre tonight, Monday July 24th. The band recorded much of Out in the Storm‘s songs live, an idea producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth!) pitched. This is the group’s fourth release, and Crutchfield said it “digs into what I was going through without blinking. It’s a very honest record about a time in which I was not honest with myself.” Want to know my favorite track? It’s “No Question.”

And if you have not heard Out in the Storm yet, NPR awesomely has the album available, in its entirety, right over here. Listen to it loud, it deserves your attention.

For tickets and more information (the show is all ages), follow this link to the Neptune’s event page.

Mura Masa

Details: Capitol Hill Block Party kicked off day one of its annual three-day festival on Friday, July 21st. Breaking it down by two stages, photographer Alex Crick brought back gorgeous shots of Main Stage acts Mura Masa, Thundercat and Noname, plus Neumos Stage’s Fauna Shade and Eastern Souvenirs. British electronic act Mura Masa, who comes highly recommended by Charli XCX, made his Seattle debut, while Thundercat most likely wins best hair of CHBP. Everett, Washington trio Fauna Shade hit the Neumos Stage with their self-described “Twins Peaks-creepy sunniness.” Very nice. Also check out the photos of Noname, a Chicago rapper who is appearing at a huge number of festivals this year, and Eastern Souvenirs, an eclectic Seattle artist. More photos soon of Capitol Hill Block Party happenings.

Singer-songwriter and actress Sabrina Carpenter recently played a sold-out show at the Neptune Theatre. The performance was at the frontend of her North American headlining De-Tour. Backed by a four member band and sister Sarah on backup vocals, Sabrina’s set was well over an hour and included a costume change. Near the end of the show, audience member Maggie came onstage and sang with Sabrina. New Hope Club opened, followed by Alex Aiono.
