Back on April 29th Manchester Orchestra headlined the Neptune Theatre. Somehow, again, due to fault of the editor and editor alone, these photographic scorchers by Josh Daniels did not see the light of day here. Until now. The Atlanta, Georgia band released their first albums after the departure of Jonathan Corley, Cope and Hope, in 2014. Opening for Manchester Orchestra was Kevin Devine. Huge apologies to everyone involved for not displaying these photos earlier!

King Khan & BBQ Show‘s King Khan/Blacksnake
Canada’s King Khan & BBQ Show took over the Crocodile for a date in early October. This was my first time seeing King Khan at all, whose garage rock shows are legendary. And good lord, did he and bandmate Mark Sultan deliver. The crowd was a raucous and happy, drunken mess of super fans, and Sultan and Blacksnake (as King Khan/Arish Ahmad Khan is known in this duo) reared a gigantic hydra head of powerfully rabid punk. If you cut heads off this monster of music, so many additional heads could grow, and keep biting your tiny ears. In a good way, of course. It’s always good for someone like me, who goes many shows, to get in touch with Danger at a show. If you like the danger of live music, with all its dirty, beer-spilling, moshing-stomping-rocking-blood could be spilled messiness, then this is a show for you. Treat yourself, and dig it.

Showbox at the Market turned 75 years old this year! One of the shows held at the venue was headlined by Seattle punk/grunge/rock band the Murder City Devils, who released a brand new album in August called The White Ghost Has Blood on Its Hands Again. That album came out just one day before their Showbox appearance on August 15th. Appearing with them were Deep Creep (Pretty Girls Makes Graves’ Andrea Zollo & Derek Fudesco) and Corey J Brewer.

Photos: Maximo Park & Eternal Summers @ the Crocodile
Somehow, due to the fault of the editor, these marvelous shots of Maximo Park and Eternal Summers from May did not get featured. Massive apology on that to the bands, publicists & photographer Steve Campagna. Maximo Park’s 5th album, Too Much Information, is definitely more great stuff from the band. Also, they just got an opening slot for the Who on December 9th in Newcastle. Nice work!
