This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of driving down to Portland to meet up with The Slants, the world's first all-Asian "Chinatown dance rock band." Founded in 2006 by Simon Young (aka Simon Tam), the 5-member band hardly has an Asian sound to their electro-dance music or glam rock performance, but they are incredibly fun to watch live! I'm usually a "shoot the first
Last night, Empire of the Sun put on a dazzling spectacle of a show at Seattle's Paramount Theater. It was the first time in quite some time that the Australian electronic music group had made its way to Seattle. The last time they came close was actually in May for the Sasquatch Music Festival at The Gorge. Unfortunately, the night of their performance was also
Photos from last night's explosive and highly entertaining show by P!nk at the Key Arena in Seattle with openers New Politics. Definitely a show not to be missed! P!nk's "The Truth About Love Tour" continues with select dates throughout North America.

Photos from another spectacular weekend of the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival in Seattle, WA. Highlights this year for me included Gary Numan (who did me the honor of Tweeting out two of my shots), Redd Kross, Death Cab for Cutie playing Transatlanticism, Baroness, Matt and Kim, and The Joy Formidable. Photos this year were shot for The Stranger, Consequence of Sound, and Prefix Magazine. Check
Last night, the artist formerly known as Snoop Dogg took the Showbox SoDo by storm by performing his hits all night long. Snoop was fresh off of an appearance next door at Century Link field where he watched the Seahawks' last preseason game, showing up in a Seahawks jersey. Following a stint in Portland when Snoop reportedly took the stage 2 hours late, he was
It's been almost exactly a year since I photographed Fitz and the Tantrums on the opening day of Outside Lands 2012 in San Francisco. At that point, I'd photographed them at least 3 times throughout the year, having seen them at Sasquatch and at various other shows and festivals around the Pacific Northwest. But Fitz and the Tantrums is one of those bands that you
When Gogol Bordello comes to town, there's no excuse to NOT see them. The gypsy punk rockers are touring in celebration of their sixth album, Pura Vida Conspiracy, all in spite of a recent lawsuit brought forth against frontman Eugene Hütz by a former bandmate. No legal troubles or any negativity for that matter were evident in Gogol Bordello's party of a performance at Seattle's
Over the weekend, the annual Capitol Hill Block Party went down in Seattle's hipster neighborhood. This year's lineup was an eclectic mix of artists, featuring EDM, hip-hop, and indie rock, among many others. Headliners this year included Girl Talk, local favorites Pickwick, and The Flaming Lips.
Last night, Sir Paul McCartney played the first-ever concert ever held at Seattle's Safeco Field, home of the Mariners baseball team. The sold out show was part of McCartney's "Out There" tour and seated approximately 45,000 fans who sang, danced, and marveled before McCartney, whose set list included many Beatles hits. Perhaps the highlight of the show was the encore which brought out the surviving
