Day eleven in the photo countdown heads south once again to MusicFest Northwest. It held so many great moments for Morgen that she can't help but choose more than a few shots from this event. Today is a lesser known Portland-based group dubbed The Quiet Life, but they made quite an impression on our photographer. more ›

Some of you may be rolling your eyes, but there are just some musicians who simply define a generation, and influence future generations of artists. In our opinion, Sting is one of those people. more ›

It's day three of Portland's MusicFest Northwest and we're starting to feel it, though our spirits are high as Zach headed off to the big show at Pioneer Courthouse Square with Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside, Marketa Irglova and Iron and Wine. Sounds incredible right? That's just the beginning, the night of music didn't really start until nine ending whenever we damn well felt like it (which was around 2am). What an incredibly wonderful night of entertainment and, we're pretty sure, one of the best nights of the festival. more ›

Don't worry, we won't be bowing to Lebanese overlords anytime soon. The band Beirut is actually based out of New Mexico and headed to Vancouver, BC tonight and Portland, OR tomorrow. Led by singer Zach Condon, whom also tinkers on the trumpet and ukulele, Beirut creates an off-kilter sound which on first listen seems like it shouldn't work but it just does. There's some kind of special something that pulls together the unique instrumentals, vocals and electronic sounds the band shells out into a loosely cohesive bubble. That may not sound like your idea of enjoyable music or even make sense--but once you've heard it you'll know what we mean. more ›

Many, many Seattlest writers have spent considerable amounts of time in Bellingham. Morgen and Zach are not two of them--and last night, they had their first engagement with the Wild Buffalo. more ›

James Vincent McMorrow is a singer/songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. His first (and currently only) album Early in the Morning released early last year to critical acclaim. Since then he seems to have caught the touring bug and is out on the road for most of the year. We caught up with him on the last stop of his ten-show tour with The Civil Wars. more ›

We're trying something new this week. We have a hard time keeping track of what tickes go on sale on which days--so we assume you probably have the same problem. To help us both out, we're going to start dropping you a note about what goes on sale each week. Be sure to send us one if we missed something, or you want more info. more ›

It's an ambitious task, putting on a concert. Especially when you've got a day job, a side gig and seven other things pulling at your proverbial apron strings on any given day. But Seattlest's music editor, Morgen, is putting in the footwork to bring y'all a truly excellent show--and it's this Friday. more ›

One of the things we like best about Thao and Mirah is their light-hearted, fun attitude toward everything. I was lucky enough, earlier on in the day, to be at their KEXP in-studio session as well as the Crocodile show on Saturday night. Throughout the day, even though touring and seeing city after city must be exhausting, they're happy to be wherever they were and play the music that they love. What incredible voices they have as well, you can bet there's no auto-tune used on their albums; their harmonies sound beautiful. Our very own Led to Sea had a fantastic set of their own. Having never seen them before, it was a special treat for us to see them as the supporting act on Thao and Mirah's tour. Marisa Anderson also lent her incredible guitar stylings to the evening's lineup. She may just play instrumental guitar, but it's truly a show to see. She's got talent in spades and quietly sits in a chair while the audience is in awe of her music. We grabbed a few shots at the show in the hopes of capturing even a small slice of the overall aesthetic (both aural and visual) of the show. more ›

Jen's got another round of conversational gems from our readers. This week's source? Music fans in their natural habitat. more ›

It's pretty obvious by this point that I'm in love with The Head and the Heart (HATH). I've written about them at least half a dozen times, but that's only because I know a lot of you out there love them, too (and I adore sharing the love for such a great group). more ›

This is part two of On the Road with Steel Tigers of Death (check out part one, it's just as awesome). The boys have been busy and then some. They went Mexican, found a marmot (maybe?), drank a bit, performed a bit, got sick (boo!) and did just about everything else you could imagine. They sent us pictures of the p.c. stuff and we'll leave it up to your imagination as to what happened in the meantime. We'll have one last post with eight great more shots next week and some info on their cd release show! So stay tuned for the next installment of... On the Road! more ›

Minnesota-based Owl City comes to Seattle in a sold out show, bringing fans of all ages to listen to the synth-pop wonder! more ›
