I’m looking at Dave Lichterman‘s photos from Simian Mobile Disco‘s show at Neumos on Wednesday night and they sure bring an amazing looking collection of equipment with them. It all appears quite space age and wonderful. One of their openers was another duo, New York’s Blondes, who recently had a nice article in the New York Times. Photos of both bands:

Tapes ‘n Tapes – who just saw the release of album three, Outside (this one on independent label ibid) – headlined at the Crocodile last week for a show with Detroit duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. (or DEJJ). Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.’s debut LP hits stores in June. Check out “Morning Thought” and photographer Alex Crick‘s photos from the Crocodile show!:

Last night, Colombian superstar Juanes kicked off his world tour at WaMu Theater before hundreds of fans. The 18-time Grammy award winner is known best for his hit singles “La camisa negra” and “A Dios le pido.” He recently found success with his fifth studio album P.A.R.C.E. and will spend the next month touring various cities throughout the United States, wrapping up in Orlando, Florida in October. Check out photos from last night’s show below, with more on Flickr!
Last Saturday night Macklemore performed the 3rd of 3 sold out shows at Showbox Market in 2 weeks. Halfway through the set surprise guest Sir Mix-a-Lot took the stage to sing his local favorite “Posse on Broadway,” -needless to say the all-ages crowd erupted with mindless screaming when Mix took the stage.

The Lonely Forest, the Oregon Donor and the Violins all played the Vera Project last Thursday. Arrows, the Lonely Forest’s first release with Trans Records, comes out on March 22nd – I am listening to it right now and it’s sounding beautiful. They’re currently on tour with the Joy Formidable. The Oregon Donor & the Violins are two bands I have not seen live yet but enjoy their music. Photographer Simon Krane covered the great triple bill with some cool photos:
