The Sounds brought high-energy dance rock to the Neptune Theatre Monday night. Lead singer Maja Ivarsson demonstrated her strong vocal prowess while showing off her assets in an American flag tank and five-inch stilettos. The band’s thumping electro-infused beats and catchy rock riffs kept the party going as fans danced and sang along late into the night. more ›

Shonen Knife is another of those bands that have been a persistent whisper in the music industry since the early '80s. So many of my favorite bands from back in the day have returned to the limelight and this one got us the most excited this year. more ›

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah kicked major butt at the Neptune Theatre on Tuesday. We ran around the venue snapping shots like crazy all the while dancing and singing along with a smile plastered on our face. Take a look for yourself. more ›

Morgen Schuler, Seattlest Music's editor, went to Everett on Friday night to see Duran Duran playing at the Comcast Arena and came back with a passel of images. more ›

While the last day of Bumbershoot found us weary, hot and just plain worn out, we were excited to see the day's festivities and shows. The shows we had really been anticipating were Reverend Horton Heat, Phantogram and Lemolo. Little did we know, the best show of all was right under our noses. more ›

Josh Groban delighted fans at the Key Arena on Saturday with his theatrical show and operatic voice. We captured a few moments from the evening and if you are hungry for more head over to the flickr set as well. more ›

This week was glorious, and we all tried to be outside as much as we could. more ›

Thanks goes out to Weezer for reminding us of the good times in high school and forgetting the pimples, broken hearts and harsh curfews. more ›

This week, Seattleites fought for Metro (and won), got a visit from the Wienermobile, reluctantly returned from Orcas Island after a weekend of music, and of course, went about their daily lives--taking pictures all the way. more ›

Widespread Panic (WP) visited our fair city on Tuesday to a plethora of half-baked, super-excited fans. They were clustered outside the Paramount Theater and in nearby parking lots tailgating with fellow WP enthusiasts. more ›

The Triple Door was packed with concert-goers, like sardines in a can Wednesday night. As a matter of fact, it was the first show we can recall "standing only" tickets being sold at this venue. There was a line of fifteen to twenty people just standing in the back watching throughout the evening. The Civil Wars obviously have quite a following in Seattle since they're last trip here with a stop at the Tractor that had an equally packed house. According to each venue, the Triple Door actually has a smaller capacity so it's curious the duo didn't decide to play a bit bigger venue like Showbox at the Market. We also learned that both shows (they had a second performance on Thursday at the same location) were some of the quickest sell outs Triple Door has ever seen. more ›

This is the big Sunday finale gallery. We're tossing in Gayngs (whom to our delight shares a lead singer with Sean Na Na and Har Mar Superstar), Das Racist, Fitz and the Tantrums, Modest Mouse and the Flaming Lips into the mix. Now that's a hell of mix and made for one incredible Sunday. For those of you that were there, I'm betting you remember the feeling of fatigue that was beginning to seep in and you really just wanted to take a nap. Then you realized that Fitz was playing or that Flaming Lips was coming on the main stage at sunset. So you tossed back a Five Hour Energy and felt your eighth wind coming on. more ›

This sort of weather makes the city feel dead, so it's no surprise our Seattlest Flickr friends have been looking for signs of life. Flora and fauna seemed to be our photographer's favorite subjects this week. Browse through and perk up for the weekend. See you at the show tonight! more ›

With all the gloom this past week, it's no surprise that our photogs were looking for bright colors and pretty things. Lighten up with the rich shades in this week's shots. more ›

On the eve of SIFF's Opening Night Gala, McCaw Hall was abuzz with excitement and beautifully dressed people. An actual red carpet greeted the VIPs, as did as a line of photographers waiting to snap their pictures. We won't lie--we loved it. more ›

It may be Cinco de Mayo, but the photographers of Seattle can't be bothered to snap photos of tacos and other stereotypical, not-actually-Mexican foods. No, they'd rather take photos of scenery, the sky, wildlife and other awesomely organic matter. more ›

Baseball, bunnies and blooms brought feelings of goodwill this weekend. Of course by Monday, it had all gone to hell. But let's look back on the beautiful weekend that was. more ›

Paul Simon may have recently graced the city, but Seattlest's Flickr photogs seemed to shirr the Kodachrome this week. We disagree with Rhymin' Simon: everything looks great in black-and-white. more ›

We've got Sounders action, Tom Douglas previewing his new restaurants, and the world's sketchiest detour. more ›

In the pool this week: Halo, hard drinkin, and high culture. more ›

This week our Flickr pool members captured images of bagels, drugs and a call to arms. more ›

Around town this week: coffee; gnomes and perhaps even some signs of spring--today's snow be damned. more ›

Despite this week's nice weather, we've got a lot of rain-themed pics in the mix. And a fish wearing sunglasses. more ›

This week we've got a rainy lunar new year, Godzilla and a whole pile of cheese. more ›

Some glimpses into the past, a renamed stadium and one hell of a vegetarian sandwich. more ›

Woodies, ferries and the Space Needle on a throne. more ›

Snow, Seahawks, pantsless light rail riders and a seriously come-hither waffle fry. more ›

Last night's snow accumulated quickly, then the rain set about its business of transforming the city into a giant slush pile. But some of our Flickr pool members managed to get out and enjoy the winterscape while it lasted. more ›

New Year's Eve dinners are often an overpriced yawn of a set menu. However Madison Park Conservatory was so new that the restaurant didn't have time to plan anything other than its regular menu (though the regular menu changes frequently). more ›
