The stop was in the middle of their 15-week North American tour in support of their debut album Secret Evil. This was their second show at the Tractor in just seven months. Hurry back!

Photos: The Replacements & the Young Fresh Fellows @ the Paramount & the Crystal Ballroom

In the spring of April 2015, the great Minneapolis, Minnesota band the Replacements made two stops in the Northwest with dates in Seattle and Portland. With original bassist and band founder, Tommy Stinson, and singer Paul Westerberg, the group has fed strong rumors of a new Replacements album. Yes! For the tour they had Seattle’s the Young Fresh Fellows as openers. We were extremely lucky to send photographer Monica Martinez to both dates:

Photo Preview: One Direction @ CenturyLink Field

British-Irish quartet One Direction captured a huge section of Seattle last night when they played CenturyLink Field. I will have so many more photos and a review of the show soon, but I wanted to share a few photos Right Now. Thanks for the wicked show, One Direction!
