LeAnn Rimes performed at a sold out show at the Snoqualmie Casino last Saturday … The singer is on the cover of this month’s Shape, revealing that she stays in tour-ready shape by boxing. You can follow Rimes on Twitter.
Show Review & Photos: the Drums @ Neumos
The Drums. The Drums. The Drums. I will not forget this band. Stylized and elegant in performance and sound, I was pleasantly shocked by their set the other week at Neumos. You would think they were a British band and not from Brooklyn (yes, check their MySpace and see their influences: Orange Juice, the Smiths, Joy Division) – and each band member focused a very intense personality in his own space. Singer Jonathan Pierce capered and swept along the stage, swinging his mic cord, and guitarist Jacob Graham bowed, danced and played much like a ballet dancer. Right on. I highly recommend their CD, the Drums. There was not misstep on the set list.

Floridians Surfer Blood and the Dewars opened for the Drums at Neumos earlier this month. I’ll have photos of the Drums up soon, but I wanted to post the two Florida bands together. They both put on such enjoyable shows and I particularly think myself fortunate to have seen them together. I actually listen to these bands’ CDs and am glad Surfer Blood brought the Dewars with them so that I, and the other audience members, could be introduced to something this special.

Photos: Deadmau5 @ the Paramount
We’ve got more photos of the mouse, the shadows of the mouse, people enjoying the mouse . . . Deadmau5 that is. These pix come from Jackie Canchola, who got some fine aerial shots as well as atmospheric shadow pix. I love that we’re able to showcase Canchola’s work alongside Suzi Pratt‘s work – they do such wonderful jobs of capturing live shows.

South African hip-hop trio, die Antwoord opened for Deadmau5 last week at the Paramount. Wow their songs are catchy, and great. Enjoy some fine photos photographer Jackie Canchola brought back from their set – thank you Jackie, I can’t get enough of this band:
