Kate Voegele and the Crocodile Café’s lighting tech both did outstanding jobs during her recent show in Seattle. Kate has been touring in support of her new EP, Wild Card, and it was good to have her back in town – she’s always a “must-see”. Spanish singer-songwriter Leroy Sanchez opened and also joined Kate on stage during her set.

Toronto’s Electric Youth, a duo who plays some sweet synthpop, made an appearance at the Crocodile on November 9, 2014. They’ve also got one of the nicest biographies on Facebook:
we are electric youth
we were childhood loves
we grew up together
we make music together
Gorgeous. They also worked with Erasure’s Vince Clarke on their debut, Innerworld. Excellent.

Recently signed to prestigious Sugar Hill Records, the Berklee College of Music graduate’s self-titled album is a compilation of remixed material from several previous albums.

Coincidently, Michaela Anne Neller who toured with Anthony last winter, came on stage to sing several songs with him before her own show at the Musicquarium upstairs.
