Photos: Bumbershoot – Day 1 w/Fitz and the Tantrums, Babes in Toyland, Raz Simone & More

Photographers Simon Krane and Kirk Stauffer got through the Bumbershoot, day one thunderstorm! For the final installment of the day’s coverage, we’ve got photos of Fitz and the Tantrums, Babes in Toyland, Raz Simone, Deep Creep, and On and On. All great bands to get on the bill, Babes in Toyland made a rare appearance after reuniting just this year. Deep Creep is also a reunion of sorts, with two Pretty Girls Make Graves members in it.

Show Preview: Uncle Acid and the deadbeats @ El Corazon, Sat. 9/26

The lusciously dark and hypnotic Uncle Acid and the deadbeats make only their second appearance in Seattle on Saturday, September 25th. From Cambridge, England, Uncle Acid and the deadbeats have been described as psychedelic, doom metal. . . take your pick, but they go beyond that. With three albums each utilizing different themes (Blood Lust: witch-hunter Matthew Hopkins, Mind Control: cults, and The Night Creeper: killers), they also have a pretty much impossible to find work called Volume 1. Each album is fantastic rock, and even though Uncle Acid and the deadbeats’ popularity has been slow going (I can’t explain this), they’re really a band you should get to know.

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!

Photos: Capitol Hill Block Party – Day 1 w/the Kills, Wye Oak, Big Wild & More

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.
