Wow, Busy weekend, and sucky weather for the second year in a row! Nothing can be done, and we still had lots of fun. And we didn't unpack the rain gear, so why am I complaining! Hightlights... As always, The Dandy Warhols Courtney Taylor-Taylor Best show of theirs in ages.
So, this year at Bumbershoot, quite by accident, I discovered the KEXP lounge. I mean, I'd read about it every year but never attended a show, however this year, The Raveonettes were one of the performers, so I knew I couldn't miss it. Sharin Foo We dutifully lined up a half an hour early at the booth, not realy knowing what to expect, but when we finally entered the venue, it was clear that we were in for something special. A nice small venue that sounded great for the live recording they were performing. Sharin Foo After the show, the band even broke down their own gear so we got to meet the band. Glen and Sharin
Another favourite, and oddly, someone I've never seen live before, was The Thermals. Pillar Of Salt is still one of my favourite songs and the new album has another potential all time fav in I Don't Believe You. Here is a video I took of a different song. Awesome right??
We also saw The Engish Beat who are oldies but goodies from my youth. Tenderness (same guy but he was with Gneral Public at the time) is another of my all time favourite songs, even to this day. Dave Wakeling Antonee First
One of my favourite bands. Alex Ebert can command a crowd wearing nothing but what looks like dirty pajamas. So much love in the crowd and on the stage. Magical . Alex Ebert Alex Ebert Alex Ebert Jade Castrinos
Jeff Tweedy The 2010 Vancouver Olympics are more then an athletic event. It's also a big party and celebration for all of Vancouver to enjoy. Free concerts are abundant and I'll try to cover a few of them.
Today was one of my favourite bands, Wilco. I've seen them a few times, and they were better today then I've ever seen. Jeff Tweedy
Sure it rained. Hell, it poured at times, but as Wilco says, in Wilco (the song) As they say in their song, Wilco (the song), ( a bit or paraphrasing here)
