Photos: Gomez & One eskimO @ the Crocodile

Posted on by

I hate to say that my coverage of Gomez‘s shows is over. I really haven’t wanted to say goodbye to thinking about these shows, they were that great. Thank you Gomez for such unsettling beauty. Night two featured One eskimo as opener and they were fabulous. Vocalist Kristian Leontiou has such a flowing voice and I have never seen any drummer play like Adam Falkner (you can see what I mean in my pix below). It was great to see them welcomed by the audience as strongly as the prior evening’s openers, Buddy had been. One eskimO returns to Seattle on April 13th.

I am starting to catch up on weeks of material, finally! This means I have some pix Nicky took and some more pix I took at Gomez‘s Saturday show ready for posting. We were so, so, so lucky to have Gomez in Seattle for two nights. Those with impeccable taste in music knew this and appreciated it so much they sold out the Crocodile for both evenings. I posted some photos from evening one, with Buddy earlier this week here. Please enjoy some more!:

Little Boots came to Seattle recently in all her perfect splendor with two fantastic opening bands, Class Actress and Dragonette. Each of these bands made me really happy. I love listening to them and seeing them live was just joyous. Maybe it’s the beautiful female vocals, maybe it’s the dance music rhythms, maybe it’s those two things put together in a blend of happy, touching, grabbing ardor. You could see any one of these bands as a headliner and come out pleased – as a trio it was stupendous. I got photos at the show of each band:

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club played the Showbox Market on Friday night. I have seen this band several times and they are always exciting and passionate. This Tuesday they released their latest CD, the stunning Beat the Devil’s Tattoo. They’re a fascinating band and new addition, drummer Leah Shapiro, is absolutely one of the top drummers out there today. I am so thrilled I got to take photos at their sultry show and I really think they should have a follow-up tour to bring them back here. Immediately please.

Video: Teletubbies Do Soft Cell’s Sex Dwarf

Posted on by

Soft Cell‘s Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is still one of the best albums ever. I am such a fan. It of course features their hit Tainted Love, but even better are Seedy Films, Frustration, Secret Life, Bedsitter, Chips on My Shoulder and Sex Dwarf.

teletubbies

I am also such a fan of Teletubbies, those wondrous creations who so terrorized many children and adults in the ’90s. And beyond. So how happy was I to come across this genius combination of Sex Dwarf and Teletubbies? Very.
