Floridians Surfer Blood and the Dewars opened for the Drums at Neumos earlier this month. I’ll have photos of the Drums up soon, but I wanted to post the two Florida bands together. They both put on such enjoyable shows and I particularly think myself fortunate to have seen them together. I actually listen to these bands’ CDs and am glad Surfer Blood brought the Dewars with them so that I, and the other audience members, could be introduced to something this special.

We’ve got more photos of the mouse, the shadows of the mouse, people enjoying the mouse . . . Deadmau5 that is. These pix come from Jackie Canchola, who got some fine aerial shots as well as atmospheric shadow pix. I love that we’re able to showcase Canchola’s work alongside Suzi Pratt‘s work – they do such wonderful jobs of capturing live shows.

South African hip-hop trio, die Antwoord opened for Deadmau5 last week at the Paramount. Wow their songs are catchy, and great. Enjoy some fine photos photographer Jackie Canchola brought back from their set – thank you Jackie, I can’t get enough of this band:

Last week, Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known as Deadmau5, brought his electronic/progressive house music to Seattle, eliciting a raging dance party within the Paramount. Deadmau5 put on a flashy light show that flowed perfectly with his bumping beats. Truly, a live Deadmau5 show is all about the dancing experience and getting decked out in appropriate garb, including fan-made mouse heads imitating that of Deadmau5. Opening for Deadmau5 was Die Antwoord, a South African hip-hop group that put on a very attitude-driven show that left most of the audience stunned, yet engaged with the group’s spunky “in your face” live routine. Please enjoy photos from the show below! More photos available here.

Show Review & Photos: Rusko & Kid Hops @ Showbox Market

Posted on 10/19/2010 by Dagmar

Rusko is on fire, that’s for sure. I was able to stand a little bit next to this fire at his recent appearance at the Showbox Market. The dubstep star displayed the heavy prowess of his sound – it’s kind of like if some electronic music is sheer pop, then Rusko is like excellent metal. I heard this especially in “”Woo Boost” and “Cockney Thug” – wait actually it’s pretty much in everything. The audience never let up once either, and danced, jumped and screamed through the entire show. I will see him again in a heartbeat, and he mentioned he’d be back here in January (yes!). One of Rusko’s openers was Kid Hops, a Seattle DJ who is both a radio deejay and DJ. The audience happily lapped him up as well.
