The wonderful comedian and musician Reggie Watts performed last night at Seattle’s Neptune Theater. Watts has such an apt biograpy on his site; he is unpredictable and it works for him perfectly. Photographer Alex Crick was at Watts’ Seattle show and caught some beautiful shots of the artist:

Vans Warped Tour ’11 made its annual trip to Gorge, Washington’s Gorge Ampitheatre with a huge number bands. Against Me!, The Ready Set and Asking Alexandria were just three of those bands, and photographer Graham Lee caught these acts in action (and many more – those photos will be up shortly):

The Vaccines are delicious. The exciting London band opened for Arctic Monkeys at Showbox SoDo recently and completely blew my mind. I’ve been compulsively listening to their debut, What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?, and what an absolute stunner of a CD it is. Seattle gets lucky again because The Vaccines will headline the Crocodile on Thursday, September 8th.
Australian pop singer Sia played to a packed house at the Showbox at the Market earlier this week. Seattle was one of her last stops on The We Are Born Tour that began in mid-July and is covering both the US and Canada.
On Sunday night British artist Sade packed Seattle’s KeyArena as part of a tour that follows the release of The Ultimate Collection, a CD which features my favorite Sade song, “Hang on to Your Love.” Sade is actually the name of the band, though we all commonly refer to only the singer-songwriter Sade when we talk about the band. Don’t leave out the other band members! I had a blast taking pix at this show, and I hope you enjoy some of my shots:
