Show Preview: Bleached @ Barboza, Friday April 29th

Bleached

Very happy to say that Los Angeles’ Bleached returns to Seattle tonight, Friday April 29th! The band will headline Barboza, a venue that’s perfect any night for some melodic punk. There’s a lot to love about Bleached. They’ve got songs so rad you get a feeling they’re fun to write, and not any kind of unpleasant labor; soothing punk vocals; two sisters in the band, Jennifer Clavin and Jessie Clavin; and now I am in love with that Pontiac in the video for “Wednesday Night Melody.” Sweetness! Bleached album two, Welcome the Worms, just came out in April, and it’s a winner. Oh, and early show alert!!!: Doors are at 7 PM.

Allison Pierce, formerly of The Pierces with sister Catherine, opened for Joshua Radin this week at the Triple Door. During her well-received 30-minute set at the sold-out show, Allison played primarily her own songs, but snuck in one from The Pierces. Four years and one day prior, I had the pleasure of shooting The Pierces when they opened for Coldplay at KeyArena.

The lovely women of the Suicide Girls are proud to challenge conventions of beauty. The ladies of SG performed the Blackheart Burlesque in Seattle last night to a boisterous, sold out crowd at the Crocodile. The Suicide Girls have a massive following who enjoy getting to know these sexy women through the online community at Suicide Girls.

The fans watched the talented pin-ups recreate popular movie themes like Star Wars and A Clockwork Orange. The show is good and the women genuinely seem to enjoy performing for their fans. The heavily-tattooed and scantily clad pin-ups know their fan base. They worked the audience with crowd-involved acts that had the fans cheering with equal enthusiasm.

Show Preview – Suicide Girls: Blackheart Burlesque @ the Crocodile, Fri. 4/22

Suicide Girls brings their popular show, Blackheart Burlesque, to the Crocodile tomorrow night, Friday April 22nd. The event, which we are always happy to cover on Back Beat Seattle, features an amazing group of women, including ladies from the entire United States, plus international beauties from Brazil, France and beyond. Talented and creative, the artists perform to Star Wars (yes, those Storm Troopers!!!), A Clockwork Orange. . . and other sexy themes. Because burlesque rules, I heartily recommend this event. Shows are selling out; see if you can grab some tickets over at the Crocodile’s event page. Also, please 18+. And enjoy!

Erika, Rachel and Chloe Tietjen – collectively known as The T Sisters – played at the Tractor Tavern last week while on tour with The Show Ponies. As always, the Oakland-based siblings put on a great show with terrific harmonies and guitar, drum and bass accompaniment. So good to have them back in Seattle!
