Photos: Silversun Pickups & Against Me! @ the Paramount

Posted on 08/07/2010 by Dagmar

I always know to expect something special from a Silversun Pickups show. The band puts so much passion in their sound and they don’t hold anything back. I am still certain that they are perfect at what they do, and the band members draw such strength from each other. I also caught openers Against Me! and I enjoyed their aggression. I also liked the fact that an accordion is involved in their music. You don’t hear that often in rock music, and Against Me! is definitely in your face rock. Some of my photos:

Santa Barbara’s Toad the Wet Sprocket brought their tour to Seattle’s Moore – and we were lucky to have them here as there were only several, select dates. Locals Hey Marseilles got the opening slot, and photographer Jason Tang took some groovy photos of the action:

Joanna Newsom and Robin Pecknold performed last night at the Moore. This year Newsom released her third album, Have One on Me on Drag City (the Milk-Eyed Mender andYs came out in 2004 and 2006, respectively). Fleet Foxes‘ Pecknold appeared in a solo performance that was almost as anticipated as Newsom’s headlining show. Enjoy some fantastic photos from Seattle photographer Josh Bis:
