Photos: 107.7 The End’s Summer Camp 2012

This year’s Summer Camp brought some AMAZING bands to Redmond Washington for an outdoor show that attracts people of all ages from all over Washington, Oregon, and even Canada! I showed up a little late thanks to the old 9-5, but was still able to catch some of the big bands. Every band I saw was awesome, and I either already had their album or ran out and bought it after the show. FUN. definitely brought a memorable performance by spraying confetti all over the crowd and lighting it up with all the colors of the rainbow! Check out some of the highlights below! (along with a little cheesy animated LOVE for the FUN. Fetti show Fun. put on)

 Walk The Moon

Though they are often recognized for their hit single, “Anna Sun,” their full length self-titled album was available as of June this year, and is totally worth a listen (or 50).

Fun.

 

Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons @ Marymoor Park

Saturday evening cooled down while the audience settled back in their chairs to watch Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons open for Norah Jones at Marymoor Park in Redmond, just down the street from Microsoft. Chisel and his longtime collaborator Adriel Harris, are touring in support of their new album, Old Believer. They’ll finish their US tour at the end of the month, then it’s off to Europe for the month of September.

Photos: KISS @ White River Ampitheatre

The glorious rock superstars KISS hit White River Ampitheatre on Saturday. You can never have enough KISS in your life – it’s just a fact. New today is Destroyer: Resurrected, a revamped Destroyer with new artwork and of course, the song “God of Thunder.” Get it. Listen to it and enjoy some fine photos of the White River show from Alex Crick:
