Bless Kirk Stauffer for coming back from Bumbershoot with these photos of band Warpaint. Warpaint is an all-female quartet from Los Angeles with a seductive and stirring sound. Their debut LP, The Fool, came out on Rough Trade Records last year.
Summer may be almost over, but it was a warm one at the Seattle Center!
The BEST hair of Bumbershoot:

It band, Tennis gave a surprisingly rocking show. And the guitarist Patrick Riley resembled Franz Ferdinand’s frontman Alex Kapranos – never a bad thing, IMO.

Seattle hipster rap, Mad Rad worked up the crowd with their great show of demanding beats:
Seattle finally found its blue sky, just in time for Bumbershoot:
Kris Orlowski was described as a troubadour, but when I saw the cello, violin, drums, guitar, etc. –I was hooked.
Wagons hark from Australia–by way of the deep southern USA. I created the genre “nerdish country” just for them.
I had the good fortune to see and photograph The Dave Matthews Band at The Gorge on Sunday night. The amphitheatre was packed for 3 days with the largest and most enthusiastic crowd that I had ever seen there.
Dave and the boys eased onto the stage in their laid-back style and the crowd was ready. They had been waiting all day in the hot sun for a show that they had seem hundreds of times before. You see, this crowd is different. Fans travel from all over the country for an event, not just a concert. A Dave Matthews show is more of a force of nature. It’s organic, like a ground swell of harmony and togetherness. It all sounds very 1960s and it should. There was a vibe and a pungent smell in the air that I hadn’t experienced since Pink Floyd and U2 years before.
This was my first Dave Matthews Band show and it won’t be my last. I had more fun at this show than ever before at the Gorge. If you get the same privilege, stay for the 3 day “Festival”. You will be transported to a different time and place.
