Brits Wolf Alice visited Seattle to headline the Crocodile in May. One of many interesting details about this band is they released their first EP, Blush, on White Lies’ Jack Brown’s label, Chess Records. Everything is connected! Now they’re on RCA with My Love Is Cruel, and are working on the conquering of America.

Well look what we have here! It’s Other Lives at Neumos! The Stillwater, Oklahoma band made a visit to Seattle, and we sent photographer Dana Pleasant to cover the show. Other Lives, enjoying over a decade as a group, will appear in many European countries this fall.
Other Lives
Artist: Blue Zoo
Song: “Cry Boy Cry”
Why You Want to Watch: The only music video I can think of where the singer is locked in a bedroom while his band mates reach for him with their arms in gloves. Through a wall. It’s weird.
Details: The song “Cry Boy Cry” came out in 1983. Blue Zoo, a British band who started in the ’80s, reformed in 2010!
