Akron/Family will be in Seattle on March 24th at Neumos. Here’s a video of their song “Silly Bears” from their latest release, Akron/Family II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT. It’s got robots and bears in it!

New York’s Jessica 6 is actually a trio that includes the singer Nomi Ruiz. Their debut comes out in May – check out the video for “White Horse”:

The video for Lazerbeak‘s “Dream Team” features jellyfish. It’s quite awesome, and fits the song in a strange way.

I had the privilege of hearing Grammy Award-winning, blues musician, Chris Thomas King at Jazz Alley on March 15th. Inspired by his father Tabby Thomas, Chris honed his skills as a teenager in his dad’s blues club. Not only is he a master of his incredibly soulful blues guitar, he has composed and acted in such movies as Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Ray. Listening to Chris Thomas King while enjoying a fine Manhattan in an upscale jazz club is a real slice of heaven.

I thought the Thermals were quite incredible when they played the 2011 Sasquatch! Music Festival announcement party earlier this year. The trio will be at the festival itself on May 28th – before you see them there, learn how the Thermals pamper pets. I think you can try these techniques at home.

A belated happy St. Patrick’s Day to you! Staind’s Aaron Lewis played a show at Snoqualmie on St. Patty’s as part of his solo tour. Lewis’ voice actually really suits country music – check out “Country Boy” (but a war is known to change a man, and the whiskey’s known to change a man/but that’s not me/I rarely drink from the bottle/but I’ll smoke a little weed). His debut solo CD, Town Line, is out now. Matthew Lamb checked out the show and got some beauties featuring the American Flag:

The Moore Theatre had comedian Adam Carolla on their stage last Friday night. Carolla’s got his own podcast, is a father of twins and was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. Interesting guy. I used to listen to Loveline all the time – I sure miss him on that show, but hearing Carolla on his own is cool too. Photographer Matthew Lamb has contributed some of his photos from Friday, and I’m totally thrilled to see them!
