Tonight's Recommended Show: Dinosaur Jr. at the Showbox

How often does an old legend return to the fold and sound as fresh as ever? Not often enough we say (insert name of your Great Band/Bad Album favorite here).

Latest comment by: Ben Swingline: "MY GOD! That show was so very very good. My ears are still ringing a bit, and I'm very hung over, but it was well worth it. Being an old codger, every other song brought back fond memories of the glory days (read: college). Jay and the boys sound just as ...

Tonight is a great night for shows in town: Brit pop rockers the Kooks are at the Croc, !!! (!!!) at Neumo's, but the Arctic Monkeys get my recommendation, if merely on points.

Latest comment by: imaginary liz: "I am so excited about this show... I've heard that this is the only time he (or any part of Pulp) have performed in Seattle.

Live show review

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

at The Showbox

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists’ recent Seattle visit was a rollicking – and wicked loud – one. They blew through an hour-plus chunk of songs, hammering out a slew of fast-paced, impressively tight tracks.

Tonight’s Recommended Show: Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Love Of Diagrams at the Showbox

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists and will be in Seattle tonight with Melbourne’s Love of Diagrams. I’ve been loving their debut release Mosiac (released on Matador). It’s angular and rhythmic and stands out from indie’s recent offerings.
