You know a show is going to be interesting when the doorman grabs your hand and draws a “P” on it in hot pink sharpie and says, “There’s your photo pass!” The lighting was pretty dark but I was able to salvage a couple pictures… Enjoy!

Steven Page – co-founder of the Barenaked Ladies – played a seated show at the Showbox Market on Friday in support of his first solo album, Page One. He had a great rapport with the crowd and twice, a woman named Marla was up on stage dancing while Steven played.
Show Previews: Lords of Acid @ Studio Seven, Sun. 3/6; New Politics @ El Corazon, Mon. 3/7
Lords of Acid are in Seattle tomorrow night – that’s Sunday, March 6th – at Studio Seven. Their show last year was exquisite and I would expect nothing less, and probably more from Sunday’s show. I am told the band is playing two brand new songs from the Lords of Acid album currently in production in their set. Excellent.
On Monday night Danes New Politics come to El Corazon, bringing their rabid and awesome rock to an all-ages crowd. I totally recommend this show.

Post-hardcore band Escape the Fate brought their North American tour to Seattle on Thursday night, filling the Showbox at the Market full of fans. The band’s self-titled third release came out in November 2010, featuring Craig Mabbitt on lead vocals. Thursday’s show saw a stage full of the band’s special risers and metal staircase wrapping around an elevated drum kit. The set was lively and energetic, filled with many of the band’s familiar songs that had their fans screaming along. A handful of bands opened for Escape the Fate, including Alesana and Motionless in White. Photos from the music-filled evening available below and on Flickr.
