Los Angeles-based post punk outfit Automatic — Izzy Glaudini (synths, vocals), Lola Dompé (drums, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals) — can trace their origins to their hometown’s DIY scene: When the trio met, they each individually had been immersed in the scene. They started jamming and writing material back in 2017. And in short order, the trio became a local club circuit mainstay. Their…

2 & 14 I just answered 💚💚💚

20. Tell us about a memory you hold close to your heart.

When I was about 15 (around 2000), I went to a local music festival called Bumbershoot. I know I saw Ween and Modest Mouse that year. But the best part was the night of the last day.

As I was heading towards the meeting spot for our group with my friend, we stopped for a moment to listen to some salsa music.

I was in a good mood and started dancing to the music a little. A couple of handsome slightly older boys noticed and came and asked me and my friend to dance.

She was to shy to say yes but I was like OPPORTUNITY!!

He was good at leading so I was able to fake my way through it. It was like a damn romantic movie or something!! I was so giddy.

I never saw that boy again but I think about it a lot.

LORDE AT SZIGET.

Photos by Christopher Hall.

"Green Light" is meant to be sung at the top of one's lungs. As Lorde headed towards the finish of her Sziget set on Monday night, she was joined on stage by Caroline Polachek. The two pop stars had the concertgoers in attendance going completely out of their mind. This was a proper finish to a spectacular set from Lorde, who is touring around Europe this summer with no album to promote. She presented new remixes of past old favorites including "Ribs," "Supercut" and "California." It is great to see Lorde in her "why the fuck not" era.

Seattle's Music Scene: Concerts, Venues & Festivals

Seattle’s music scene is as rich and diverse as the city itself, offering something for every kind of music lover. From intimate venues tucked away in neighborhoods to large festivals that fill the streets with energy, Seattle is a great hub for live music. Whether you're a fan of indie rock, jazz, or electronic beats, there’s always something happening. Here are some must-visit spots and events to experience the best of Seattle's musical landscape.

The Crocodile – Where Legends Were Made

One of Seattle's most iconic venues, The Crocodile in Belltown has been at the heart of the city’s music scene since the early 1990s. It’s where Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and other grunge pioneers played their early gigs, and it continues to host top-notch acts from a variety of genres. The intimate space allows you to get up close to the action, making it a great place to discover both emerging artists and established acts.

Showbox at the Market & Showbox SoDo – A Seattle Staple

The Showbox at the Market is another historic venue that holds a special place in Seattle's musical heart. Located just steps from Pike Place Market, it offers a unique atmosphere where you can catch everything from rock and pop to hip hop and electronic music. Its rich history and perfect location make it a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Another venue with a similar name is Showbox SoDo. Located in Seattle's SoDo district, just south of downtown and near major sports venues like Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park. Known for its larger capacity, Showbox SoDo hosts a wide variety of concerts, from big-name national tours to local acts, spanning genres like rock, hip hop, electronic, and pop. I saw my first performance there this summer, and I would definitely check out a concert there if you can!

Capitol Hill Block Party – A Music Festival Like No Other

Held every summer in the heart of Capitol Hill, the Capitol Hill Block Party is a must-attend festival for anyone looking to experience Seattle’s thriving music scene. This three-day event features a lineup of indie, rock, hip hop, and electronic music, set against the backdrop of one of Seattle’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Beyond the music, the festival also celebrates Seattle’s art and food culture, making it an unforgettable weekend of creativity and fun.

Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) and Music

While primarily known for film, SIFF also celebrates the intersection of music and film. The festival often features live performances, concerts, and screenings that highlight the power of music in cinema. If you're in town during the festival, make sure to check out any music-themed events that could give you a unique perspective on the city's creative culture.

Bumbershoot – Seattle’s Premier Music and Arts Festival

Bumbershoot is one of Seattle’s longest-running festivals and an essential stop for music fans. Held every Labor Day weekend at Seattle Center, it brings together a diverse range of musical genres, from mainstream artists to hidden gems. The festival also celebrates arts, comedy, and theater, offering a full weekend of entertainment. Bumbershoot has something for everyone, whether you're into rock, hip hop, or something a bit more experimental.

The Gorge Amphitheatre - A Scenic Music Experience Like No Other

The Gorge Amphitheatre is a world-renowned outdoor venue located in George, Washington, along the Columbia River Gorge. Known for its stunning views and exceptional acoustics, it’s a bucket-list destination for music lovers. The venue hosts major festivals from country music, to EDM, offering a unique experience with its expansive lawn seating and breathtaking natural backdrop. Whether you're attending a festival or a single show, The Gorge provides an unforgettable live music experience.
