Sat 17 Oct – MARK PICKEREL&HIS PRAYING HANDS w/MARIANNE DISSARD Marianne is an excellent singer and performer. Her band was solid and did a great job of supporting, without ever being overpowering. I will see her again when she comes back through Seattle.

Tue 22 Sep – Shinedown, Adelitas Way If you are a modern hard rock fan, you know Shinedown. They are easily in the top 10 Hard Rock bands in the US right now. Their live show came off better than 2008's Pain in the Grass performance where the singers voice was blown. They were extremely interactive with the audience. And the 1500-1800 of us, loved them. Excellent show.

Note: Sick Puppies rocked with a great level of energy demonstrated by the bass player. I heard they were awesome at Bumbershoot this year, and when they opened for Evanescence the year…

Sat 1 Aug – Bronze Fawn, The Senate Arcade, The Raymontane

I couldn't go. /cry. I was sick. bah

Oh wells, will have to catch BF another time.

these guys are completely awesome live. This is not your father's rock'n roll. Their live performance is a complete assault on your senses. They are all amazing musicians. very very enjoyable.Sat 30 Aug – Bumbershoot

Sat 23 Aug – Queensrÿche, Seether, Sevendust, Shinedown, Jet Black Stare Brent and co rocked the amphitheater for Pain in the Grass. They got the audience jumping. Brent kept pushing even though his voice gave out on him. Don't miss them when they come through your area.
