Photos: Two Door Cinema Club, Friends, Motopony & St. Lucia @ City Arts Fest

City Arts Fest outdid itself with one of its final shows: Two Door Cinema Club, Friends, Motopony and St. Lucia at Showbox SoDo. Any one of these groups could headline many venues, and for this Saturday evening the gargantuanly great Northern Irish band Two Door Cinema Club held the final slot. New York’s Friends and St. Lucia are two dance-worthy outfits we’re hoping return very soon, and Seattle’s Motopony are winning over every person who sees them perform.

Show Preview: Doug Stanhope @ the Neptune, Th. 11/8

The brilliant and just a little dirty comedian Doug Stanhope appears this Thursday, November 8th at the Neptune. Stanhope, who co-hosted The Man Show and has created several comedy DVDS – including his latest, Before Turning The Gun On Himself, which hits stores tomorrow – gets this description in the presser I received: “He started his career in Las Vegas doing jack-off jokes for free drinks. Not much has changed, save for the mullet.” Sounds like a solid way to go about life! You’ve probably seen him on Louis CK’s show, Louie or maybe you were in an Icelandic prison for his appearance at the Litla-Hraun Maximum Security Prison in September 2011. That’s pretty tough. He loves animals. I think I’m in love, and I recommend his show.

8 PM/$26
