Twenty-one year-old Mercury Prize nominee Jamie T has his first show in Seattle at the Croc Saturday, and it's a big 'un: John in the Morning at Night. He'll be primarily playing from his debut full-length, but we're sure he'll throw in a few songs not found on Panic Prevention. After all, as Jamie himself said, "There's, what, sixteen songs on the album? I had about forty-five songs for that record, just because I'd been writing and recording loads of shit all the time, and everything on the next one is going to be brand new." more ›

Hey, whaddya know? There's another show worth your attention at the Sunset this week. Tonight it's Irish singer-songwriter Fionn Regan. Yeah yeah, we know what you're thinking: "Another singer-songwriter? Just look at him, all broody with messed-up hair strumming a guitar in an alley." Truth be told, we usually avoid the genre as a whole, since most singer-songwriters run the gamut from boring hippie to boring douchebag. But in this case, don't be so easy to dismiss. more ›

As far as live music this weekend, may we recommend the crazy (or crazee, if you will) the Black Keys at Neumo's tonight. If you like the Liars or any noise rock band, etc, then they are for you. more ›
