This Friday there was an all-ages concert in one of Seattle's most legendary clubs, The Crocodile Cafe (website). The bands playing are not very well known in the US. The headliner, Mando Diao from Sweden, have a few albums out in Europe and I saw them in Amsterdam. In Europe they have been promoted as the "new Oasis" and in interviews the band acts arrogant, just like their idols, but they are not nearly as good as Oasis and never will get to that size. Nonetheless, I thought this would be a good show for my students to see to taste Seattle night life.
In the end only Kanako and her friend Emi were brave enough to come downtown. But they seemed to like the show! The surprise of the evening was the band Pop Levi, who I had never heard before. They are definitely a strange bunch of guys, but I like their hypnotic guitar-driven songs.
These were the bands that played:
