All Time Low and their Dirty Work Tour

So sorry for the delay on this post, my lovelies!! I'm in the process of getting my very own internet at the moment, so I'm at Starbucks mooching for awhile.

All Time Low recently came through Seattle on their Dirty Work tour with Yellowcard, Hey Monday, and The Summer Set, and it was a great show. I have uploaded all my photos to my flickr, so I am ready to share them with you!!! Here are some of my favorites:

The original Amber Pacific is back

So it has recently come to my attention that local Seattle natives, Amber Pacific, have brought back the infamous Matt Young.


Amber Pacific back in 2006. (and yes, that's me too. don't laugh!)

In a post on Absolute Punk, it was announced that the band will be doing acoustic shows at local colleges. They have parted ways with Jesse Cottam, the singer who took Matt's place when he left in 2008. There is no mention of whether or not Davy Rispoli will be remaining with the band or not. We can only hope that this…

Me Vs. Myself know how to rock...

...and the photos really do speak for them selves. So just look and see what I mean:





If you have seen MVM play before, then you now that the guys are great. They are sweet guys and are appreciative of their fans, and of Seattle. If you want to know more about them, check out my interview with them. It was a lot of fun talking with them.

P.S. My Flickr has the whole set. So take a look. You don't have anything better to…

We Came As Romans

Yes, I know. I epically fail at getting my photos up in a timely manner, but I guess its better late than never? Right then...



I had never seen WCAR before this show; never listened to their music, never saw them play, and had only heard their name before. Man, was that a REALLY big mistake. These guys are awesome. If you have heard of them but never listened, then take my advice and get their music. It is great. Just look:





I went that night to see…

An evening with the Maine..



...and about 300 other REALLY sweaty people. Seriously, if you were there last Friday at El Corazon for this show, you know what I mean. I think I came out of the club 5 pounds lighter, and I drank so much water!
Despite the extreme heat wave that the club endured, it was an awesome show! I have only seen The Maine play once before, and that was at a huge event [JBB this past December] and I can say that I really do enjoy them live. They have an energy that I don't see very often…

Madina Lake holding fundraiser to pay for Matt's medical bills


If you haven't heard yet, Matthew Leone of Madina Lake was brutally beaten when he intervened in a domestic dispute. Nathan, the lead singer and Matt's twin brother, posted the following on their Tumblr earlier this month:

"i’m afraid I have some of the worst news that has ever hit our lives. It’s almost impossible to even type this update. A few nights ago, Matthew walked from my apt. a block and a half down the street to meet a friend for a drink. half way there he saw a man severely beating his wife. Being

Better Late Than Never

I haven't posted anything in awhile [sorry Kelly!!], and I totally apologize.

I have a TON of photos for your enjoyment. I have been going to shows and not editing/posting my photos. SORRY!! Don't hate, I promise I'll get better!

But anyways, there's a bunch of them up now on my flickr ranging from...

Emery...


to Friday Night Boys and Cute Is What We Aim For...

Seriously, Seattle has some of the best venues and local bands ever.
So we know that Amber…

The Classic Crime does it again...



Another amazing show, and another amazing album. The Classic Crime have a strong fanbase here in their native Seattle, WA. They are one of my personal favorite bands, both on CD and live, and if you came out to their CD release show on April 6th then you know what I mean! Great guys, and great music.

So I was there, camera in hand, and took some pictures. It's another reason I love them, they shoot great live shots. So head on over to my Flickr to see more! I'll be uploading them as…
