Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan recently toured their third album together, Hawk. One of their show dates was at Seattle’s Neumos, where Kevin N. Murphy took a fantastic video of “Back Burner” and some lovely photos.

Yo Gabba Gabba!, the Nick Jr. show brought their live tour to the Tacoma Dome on Saturday. DJ Lance Rock, Foofa, Brobee, Plex, Muno and Toodee all make appearances in these sweet pix by Alex Crick. I think my favorite cast member is Toodee (of course, she is a cat dragon, after all). How awesome is that?

Vocalist Lucy Woodward performed for a packed Jazz Alley audience on Monday in support of Hooked, her third album. She and her four-piece band wowed the crowd with a combination of jazz, pop and soul. As seen in the following photos, Lucy had some great expressions during her set.
Oregon and D.C.’s Wild Flag played the High Dive in Seattle on Friday night. The all-female band includes Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney fame and Mary Timony (Autoclave) and Rebecca Cole (the Minders). Alex Crick was on hand to get pix of their Seattle show:

East Los Angeles’ Funeral Party remind me of the Strokes – I need to get that out of the way immediately. And this is a good association, they have opened for the Strokes’ Julian Casablancas after all. I am sure they must get tired of the comparison but it’s a compliment! I really want to see this band headlining. Their opening set in November for Two Door Cinema was the second time for me seeing the band as an opener (first was for New Politics), and I can’t wait to see them have their own exciting show here in Seattle. It will happen. Their sound attacks, hard, and I like their songs’ attitudes. “Just Because,” “Car Wars,” “Giant Song” are just some of the songs capable of coming part of your life. I wish I could have gotten pix from the other side of the stage but the crowd was enthusiastic and immovable. One has to pick a side. I also enjoy this band because their Facebook account lists Our Daughter’s Wedding as an influence. It comes through on the keys.
