Photos: Duncan Sheik @ the Triple Door

Posted on by

Duncan Sheik‘s new composition, the score for musical adaptation of American Psycho, just hit the stage in London to awesome reviews. Here’s to the hope that we’ll have it in the States soon. Sheik, who, in addition to songwriting, is a skilled composer, after all. If you get a chance to see Spring Awakening, a prior musical score of Sheik’s, we recommend it. A couple of years ago our own Jerick Hoffer had the role of Moritz at Balagan Theatre (you may know Hoffer better as Jinkx Monsoon). It was wonderful. Sheik just made an appearance at the Triple Door on February 10th, and we’re thrilled to share some handsome photos by Geoffrey Gribbin:

Ash, the great trio from Northern Ireland, made a rare appearance in Seattle on January 27th. The Tractor was lucky to host them, and we’re all lucky because there should be new Ash music coming out this year! Thank you to photographer Nicky Andrews for getting these cool shots of the band!

The as always low-keyed, but thoroughly entertaining, Maria Taylor made a stop at Barboza during the first leg of her 2014 tour. She started on drums while playing a few songs from her new album, Something About Knowing, then switched to guitar and occasionally piano for the remainder of the set. Maria had 3 other members in her band which included brother Macey Taylor on bass. They concluded their set with a rocking version of “Xanax” from her first album, 2005’s 11:11.
