Photos: Refused & White Lung @ the Crocodile

One day, specifically May 30th, Refused, a hardcore band from a place called Umeå, in Sweden, headlined the Crocodile. And the show looked dangerous indeed. The group, gearing up for the release of its fourth album, Freedom (ready on June 30th), has had quite the rotating lineup. However, the current lineup includes original members Dennis Lyxzén (vocals), David Sandström (drums) and Kristofer Steen (guitar). Basically it’s an awesome reunion. A cool FYI: Lyxzén was voted Sexiest Man in Sweden by Elle Magazine in 2004. Sounds good!

Opening the night was Canada’s White Lung! All photos by Paul Israel:

Grammy-award winning British band Clean Bandit headlined Showbox at the Market on April 21st. More about that Grammy: the quartet won for best Dance Recording with the song “Rather Be.” You know it. You love it. Admit it. And how many electronic bands have a cello as a key instrument? That’s pretty cool.

Clean Bandit heads out on a world tour in a few days; chances are they will be somewhere near you very soon. Opening the Seattle date were Kid Hops and Pezzner.
