Parcels & Mildlife @ the Showbox – 3/1/22

Australia’s Parcels, a quintet who caught the ear of Daft Punk, visited Seattle in March to headline the Showbox. The band moved to Berlin, Germany, shortly after forming, and landed contracts with French labels Kitsuné and Because Music (very nice). Parcels have described their music as “Cowboy Disco,” a genre that just sounds great and delivers. Fellow Australians Mildlife were the openers.

Singer-songwriters Sarah Darling and Julie Lavery kicked-off their two-month-long US tour at the High Dive in Seattle’s Fremont district. With their beautiful harmonies, you’d never know that the Nashville-based duo paired up specifically for the tour and have separate music careers.  And if we’re lucky, they’ll continue to take advantage of the synergy long after they’re back home.
