Photos: Metalween @ the High Dive

Halloween party at the High Dive? Photos of it for New Year? Okay, it took a while but here are my snaps of Metalween 2011 at the High Dive. I was there for most of the evening and enjoyed a Danzig tribute called Danzig With Wolves, a Judas Priest tribute called Call the Priest, plus Thunderpouch and Darkfunkel. Darfunkel was Daniel G. Harmann with Spanish for 100, performing Simon & Garfunkel “in the key of metal.”

Photos: An Evening with Neil Gaiman & Amanda Palmer @ the Moore

English author Neil Gaiman and American musician Amanda Palmer, who wed in 2011, recently played the Moore on November 9th, 2011. The night featured music and spoken word, and photographer Nicky Andrews caught the action. While researching Gaiman I found that he authored an early book about Duran Duran. He is even more awesome than I thought. Palmer is currently touring Australia and New Zealand in her band, The Dresden Dolls.

Photos: Pink Martini at The Paramount

Posted on by

The last show I shot in 2011 was the glorious Pink Martini holiday show at The Paramount Theatre.  Making her comeback debut after undergoing surgery to correct a vocal hemorrhage earlier in the year, China Forbes was in fine form.  Opening with the stunning “Amado Mio,” and backed by the Seattle Symphony, the band made for an enchanting evening, filled with carols, special guests Ida Cahana and Ari Shapiro and the Pacific Youth Choir.  I almost wish it were Christmas again!  Photos below:

Pink Martini have already sold out their upcoming April show, so you may have to travel outside of Seattle to see them – if you do, I promise you will not regret it.
