Photos: Nine Inch Nails & Soundgarden w/Cold Cave @ White River Ampitheatre

Posted on 04/01/2015 by BBS

How the music gods got this lineup together, I do not know. What a lucky person you were if you got to see Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden together at White River Ampitheatre last summer. Sometimes really good things happen! Soundgarden fans can rejoice that the group will release Echo of Miles, featuring all rarities, on May 19th, while Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor recently collaborated with Atticus Ross on the soundtrack for Gone Girl. Los Angeles’ Cold Cave opened. All photos by Monica Martinez:

What to Expect this Year: Capitol Hill Block Party 2015

Posted on 04/01/2015 by BBS

The Pike/Pine corridor may be rapidly shape-shifting, but in the spirit of this acclaimed locale, Capitol Hill remains a target of revelry. So why not throw tribute to an evolving neighborhood at the CHBP? The partial line-up just got dropped with bands who cultivated owner/producer Jason Lajeunnesse’s grassroots beginning. You know you love Built to Spill, Shabazz Palaces, Chastity Belt, and Slow Bird right? What about RATATAT, Kinski, TV On The Radio, Julie Ruin or The Kills! Here is the deal: Get your tickets ASAP because 3-day passes are only $99 through April 2. More ticket info available here.

Also, check out these never before seen snaps of last year.

Posted on 03/31/2015 by Kirk

Back from my annual pilgrimage to Austin. SXSW seemed to get back to its roots this year – lack of huge names and more emerging performers. Armed with my camera, here’s how I’ve summed up a few of this year’s artists …

Best New Find – Natalie Prass (made a point of seeing her twice)
Best Swedish Accent – Tove Lo (Tove Stryke was a strong contender)
Bluest Eyes – Rainey Qualley
Reddest Hair – Lauren St. Janes
Most Photogenic – Zella Day (former model)
Most Energetic Performance – Ryn Weaver
Most Photographed – Lenka (this was my ninth time)
Most Twang – Nikki Lane (she’ll be in Seattle in May)
Looking Forward To Seeing The Most – Sam Pinkerton (discovered her music last year)

New Politics, the entirely fabulous trio from Denmark, excited a massive/sold-out audience back in November, 2014. This is one of my favorite groups, and it was wonderful to see so many people going wild over them. With breakdancing moves from singer David Boyd, maniacal antics from guitarist Søren Hansen, and hazardous (yet solid) drumming from Louis Vecchio, as a live act, they’re thrilling. Look at all those people grabbing Boyd!

Posted on 03/20/2015 by Kirk

London-based sisters Colette and Hannah Thurlow, known as 2:54, headlined at Barboza in support of their recent album, The Other I. They were joined by Joel Porter (bass) and Alex Robins (drums). The Scottish duo Honeyblood – Stina Marie Claire Tweeddale and Cat Myers – opened. I caught them again at SXSW last week.
