Punk rockers from New Jersey, the Gaslight Anthem played Showbox SoDo earlier this week with the Menzingers. The Gaslight Anthem’s latest, American Slang has been a huge hit for them. Here are some of Brittney Bush Bollay’s beautiful pix from the evening:

Kina Grannis performed at a packed Vera Project last night for the second stop on her west coast/southern US tour. Check out her clever Valentine video – the song is from her new Stairwells record.
Tift Merritt opened for David Gray and Ray LaMontagne last weekend at Marymoor Park in Redmond. She’ll be back in town on November16, headlining at the Tractor Tavern and playing songs from her new record See You On The Moon.
Jay Electronica and Jenny and Johnny were two of the variety of acts at Bumbershoot who played on a couple of the outdoor stages. I saw part of Jay Electronica’s set and it was packed with an excited crowd – they all seemed to know the songs. Here are some of Nicky Andrews’ shots!:

Until Wednesday night with their sold-out appearance at Showbox SoDo, Scissor Scissors hadn’t been to Seattle since October 2006. I knew that I missed this band’s live performances, but I really might not have realized just how much. Their new material off Night Work is glorious, and I absolutely could not stop paying total attention to their show. They are one of the best bands out there now, and I’m also going to say they’re one of the best bands I have ever heard and seen. Here are some of my photos and shots from special contributor, Josh Armstrong (thank you for sharing your sexy shots, Josh!):
