Lindsey Stirling, Jamestown Revival, Motopony, K.Flay and Elephant Revival, whose sounds range from rap to folk, played this year’s Bumbershoot. Several of these artists, including Seattle’s Motopony, are back on tour now. Motopony has four shows lined up in New York mid-October!

Our second part of Capitol Hill Block Party, Day One includes photos of Girlpool, Smokey Brights, Moon Dial, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, One Above Below None and Breaks & Swells. Talk about a variety of artists, and so many coming out of the Pacific Northwest! And yes, a fan brought a Beaker Muppets toy to CHBP. Who can say why, but there it is a Girlpool photo!

The Kills were in Seattle! The Kills were in Seattle! This was so awesome it had to be stated twice. They were one of the bands photographer Simon Krane snapped some shots of while he attended the Capitol Hill Block Party. The Capitol Hill Block Party, if you didn’t know, is one of Seattle’s best festivals. It always puts together a compelling lineup of local and touring artists. Well done again this year!!! Enjoy Krane’s photos of the Kills, Wye Oak, Big Wild, HARPS, Kinski and the Physics.

Band: The Insurrectionists
Song: “He Who Cried, ‘Whore'”
Why You Want to Listen: Casey K makes up New York’s the Insurrectionists, a rock band listing Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins, among others, on its Facebook page. I can hear that. The Insurrectionists’ new album, I Gave You The Moon But You Wanted The Stars, comes out in January 2016.

The Sunset in Ballard hosted the Netherlands’ Jacco Gardner in June. Hypnophobia, which finds Gardner again making psychedelic magic, is his latest release, and though Europe’s got Gardner touring several countries there this fall and winter, here’s hoping he’ll return to Seattle very soon. Calvin Love and Tomo Nakayama opened the Seattle date.
