Mastodon headlined Showbox SoDo on November 6th, with support from The Dillinger Escape Plan and Red Fang – that is one super amazing triple bill. The Hunter, Mastodon’s 2011 release, features one of the best album covers of the year. The always excellent Alex Crick contributes some cool shots of the show:

Hotels, who’s definitely one of Seattle’s very best bands, had a slot on Seattle Weekly‘s Reverb Fest lineup this year. The band played Salmon Bay Eagles Club, one of the all ages venues. Even though the club became a sauna – complete with wood paneling (it was unseasonably warm out for early October) – I stayed for every minute of Hotels’ superb set.
