Toad the Wet Sprocket played recently at the Edmonds Center for the Performing Arts. I’ve been a big fan since the 90’s and have seen Toad three or four times and each time I am more impressed with them. I’ve attended several shows now in Edmonds and it’s a great Read more…

It’s hard to believe but for whatever reason up until this show I had never attended a concert at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. There are probably multiple reasons for that but the main one is that it’s just so far away. It’s at least a three hour drive Read more…

A couple of months ago I went to see the Old 97’s. Rhett Miller is the lead singer and main songwriter for them. This time (Wed, June 21st) he was traveling solo with just his acoustic guitar. The Old 97’s have been in Portland recording songs for an upcoming album Read more…

Sam and I went to see the imaginatively named group, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, for three nights this past weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights). They’re calling this their “Residency Tour”, a joking reference to bands who set up shop in places like Las Vegas and just play Read more…

Eels (not “The Eels”) have been making music since the mid-90’s but this (Wed, June 14th, 2023) was the first time I’ve seen them in concert. They played a sold out show at the Neptune Theatre, which is one of the nicer venues in Seattle’s U-District. There’s not a lot Read more…

The Talking Heads were ubiquitous in the 80’s. That probably had something to do with MTV and well made videos but that would have been nothing without great music and The Talking Heads had that too. David Byrne was the face of the band and in 1991 he left, effectively Read more…

You’d be forgiven for remembering Gary Numan as a one hit wonder. The song “Cars” was a huge hit off the album “The Pleasure Principle” in 1979 and for many in the US that was probably the last they ever heard of Gary. The Pleasure Principle was part of the Read more…

Up until a couple of months ago I had never heard of Skinny Puppy but Sam educated me, which is pretty funny. He knows more about 80’s bands than I do. So, who is Skinny Puppy? Well, Skinny Puppy formed in the early 80’s in Vancouver, BC. We’ll call them Read more…

Panchiko has an interesting back story. As it goes, they formed as a group sometime in the late 90’s and recorded a demo EP in 2000. They were never picked up by a record company, the band broke up and went their separate ways and that was the end of Read more…
