Paula Cole achieved international fame with her hits “Where Have All The Cowboys Gone” and “I Don’t Want To Wait” (Dawson’s Creek theme song) recently played at The Triple Door. She’s currently touring in support of her fifth studio album, Ithica and will be back in town on February 18, 2011 at the Kirkland Performance Center.
Bullet For My Valentine absolutely rocked Showbox SoDo on 10/22 with support from Escape the Fate, Black Tide and Drive A. This highly energetic show sold out quickly and the kids came out in full force. Photos by Graham Lee.

Female tribute bands are the hottest ways to relive those fabulous rock bands of the past. Hells Belles, The Iron Maidens, and Zepparella absolutely rock the house and they definitely have a following.
Zepparella does a great job of bringing that sensual, bluesy sound that made Led Zeppelin the 1970’s mega group that it was. The lighting at the The Tractor favors lead singer, Anna Kristina, and lead guitarist, Gretchen Menn which is a shame because Bassist, Nila Minnerok, and drummer, Clementine, equally as good. The band oozes charisma and demands that you have a great time.

I saw Northern Irish band Two Door Cinema Club in May of this year as part of a radio show KNDD put on at Nectar. I fell in love with the band immediately. What I saw coming happened – when the band returned here on November 6th they were met with a well-deserved hysteria by fans. I stand by my review of their May show when I said they should be the band of the year. The fuss is about so much. They put on another jaw-droppingly great show with their expert pop. I’m singling out bassist Kevin Baird for the second time as being a truly magnificent bassist, and they broke my heart again with their beautiful songs and live act. In particular “What You Know,” “Undercover Martyn,” “You’re Not Stubborn,” “This is the Life,” “Come Back Home” and “I Can Talk” ripped me up inside, as did their new song, “La Nouvelle Chansion”.
