MS MR – the NYC-based duo consisting of Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow – headlined at the Neptune Theatre on October 20th. It was obvious that they were excited to be on stage and kept the energy flowing from the beginning to the end of their set. Lizzy’s stage presence and stunning vocals were a real treat. MS MR’s second full-length studio album, How Does It Feel, was released in July.

Kate Boy, an electronic band based in Sweden, returns to Seattle this Wednesday. The Stockholm group will only make four stops in the States, and Seattle nabbed one of those dates.
This month has been a huge one for Kate Boy, who released its first album, ONE, in early November. Now a duo (Aussie Kate Akhurst and Swede Markus Dextegen), the synth/electronic Kate Boy is always one we’re eager to recommend. After all, if you love some moody melodies, you’re in luck with Kate Boy. The pair will play the Sunset!
