Formed in 2007, Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside have become staples of the Pacific Northwest music community. It makes sense that their sound has been described as “rockabilly,” because Ford, originally from North Carolina, infuses her own style of southern soulfulness. After moving her musical talents to Portland, Ford met fellow band mates Jeff Munger (guitar), Ford Tennis (drums), and Tyler Tornfelt (bass) while she was working as a waitress. Ford’s gritty and powerful voice, which has been compared to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday, feels like the best kind of kick to the face. Their most recent album, Untamed Beast features song after song of Ford chewing up clever lyrics and fiercely spitting them out. If there’s one thing more delicious than listening to their music, it’s watching them live.
It was hard not to tap your feet and do a little jig during Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside’s performance in the KEXP Bumbershoot Music Lounge. Baby blue electric guitar in hand, Sallie dove right into “Bad Boys,” from the group’s sophomore album, Untamed Beast. As Fred Armisen aptly points out in an episode of Portlandia, Portland is “where all the hot girls wear glasses.” Sallie Ford is like Portland’s poster girl, sporting a snappy pair of retro glasses and showing off her musical skills.

Running Time: 28:17
With 9 LPs under his belt as part of the group Matt Pond PA, Matt Pond has dropped the “PA” to undertake a solo career. This East Coast born-and-raised singer/songwriter began playing music during college and eventually scored gigs opening for bands like Bikini Kill and Superchunk. While his debut solo album , The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hand, isn’t a drastic departure from his previous work with Matt Pond PA, the tracks are bright and poppy, revitalizing Pond’s individual sound and setting him apart from the “PA.”
Opening with “Let Me Live,” the first track from The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hand, Matt Pond and his four bandmates filled the auditorium with enthusiastic sound. While Matt Pond is currently touring behind his new solo act, he didn’t shy away from playing older Matt Pond PA tracks like “So Much Trouble,” and “Starting.” PA co-frontman Chris Hansen even took center stage with Pond.
Pond, excited about his flashy new python covered amp, closed with a Matt Pond PA song, “Love To Get Used.” While he claimed that as musicians he and his band live for just the one resounding shout of “woo,” Pond’s performance collected a chorus of cheers from their audience.

Running Time: 30:48
As the frontman for Hüsker Dü and Sugar, and as a solo performer, Bob Mould’s melodically heavy songwriting and guitar playing made him one of the most influential figures of 1980s independent music. Along with Grant Hart, Mould was one of the principal songwriters for Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Hüsker Dü, whose melodic brand of hardcore punk became an underground favorite early in the ’80s. However, by the end of the decade, Mould had moved onto a solo career and later became the frontman of Sugar, a similarly tuneful-yet-heavy trio that existed for the first half of the ’90s. After a brief flirtation with electronic music, Mould returned to his solo career at the beginning of the ’00s. By the release of 2012′s Silver Age, he had reestablished himself as a still-vital songwriter whose years of experience had made him a wiser musician.
Before Mould claimed the stage, audience members — in an attempt to brace themselves for the impending onslaught of sound –lodged in their ear plugs at the KEXP Bumbershoot Music Lounge. Half the stage was clear for the legendary Mould to dart around and interact with the stage, expertly avoiding stumbling over his guitar cord.
Mould’s band, drummer Jon Wurster and bassist Jason Narducy, complemented Mould’s high energy, somehow these three utilized the whole stage with unpredictable yet well-timed motions. Sharp as ever on his guitar, Mould began with “The Act We Act,” the first track off of Sugar’s recently reissued debut 1992 album Copper Blue, then ripped through the album’s next track, “A Good Idea.” Mould absolutely shredded his guitar during “Star Machine,” a song from his new album, Silver Age. The group spent the middle of their set performing songs from Silver Age until their final few which included tracks from Hüsker Dü’s Flip Your Wig. After a standing ovation from the crowd, Bob Mould disappeared backstage.
[729] Tamaryn – 2013-09-01 – Seattle (3:45pm)
Setlist:
01 – [Intro]
02 – Mild Confusion
03 – While You’re Sleeping, I’m Dreaming
04 – Haze Interior
05 – Heavenly Bodies
06 – No Exits
07 – Prizma
08 – [Outro]
Running Time: 32:01
Mexican Summer band Tamaryn had a killer year last year. Their debut LP Tender New Signs was not one to miss, meeting the shoegaze resurgence’s wave of mutilation head on with an atmospheric whisper led by a collected muse with the voice of an angel. The band is made up of Tamaryn (originally from New Zealand) and Rex John Shelverton, who mans production. The New Zealand via Brooklyn sound is completely evident – the busyness of the day to day hustle is contrasted by a reverberated wave of calm. Tamaryn’s sound captures both with grace and poise.
The blissful melancholy of “I’m Gone” and the shoegaze masterpiece of “Heavenly Bodies” are only two of the many delightful offerings found in this little gem. The upbeat groove of “Prizma” and the experimental closer “Violet’s In A Pool” are also completely worth the visit. But today, we get to see how their watery glitter shines on the live stage.
Tamaryn and her three bandmates basked in dark blue light on the KEXP Bumbershoot Music Lounge stage. After listlessly shaking a tambourine, Tamaryn nonchalantly draped herself on the mic to sing 2009′s “Mild Confusion.” Tamaryn calmly confronted the microphone as her bandmates grooved around her. The group put their apathetic demeanor to work, the blue light and hazy sound washing over the audience like a sea during “While You’re Sleeping, I’m Dreaming” from Tender New Signs. The track title “Haze Interior,” off The Waves, perfectly describes what Tamaryn transformation of the Music Lounge.
[730] Beats Antique – 2013-09-01 – Seattle (5:30pm)
Setlist:
01 – [Intro]
02 – Egyptic
03 – Beauty Beats
04 – [Electric Turkish Banjo]
05 – Stash
06 – Colony Collapse
07 – Cat Skillz
08 – [Outro]
Running Time: 28:55
Oakland’s Beats Antique debuted in 2007 with their unique blend of the world fusion and electronic genres, performance art and live instruments. Muti-instrumentalist David Satori seamlessly brings a variety of world influences into the mix, from Middle Eastern styles to afro-beat. The group’s dancer, Zoe Jakes, further experiments with a variety of dance forms such as belly dancing and Indian dance (not to mention that she can walk around with a vase balanced on her head). The two are joined by their versatile drummer, Tommy Cappel. This constantly innovative group is currently working on a new stage production for their Fall 2013 show to accompany their upcoming album, A Thousand Faces. We’re never quite sure what to expect from Beats Antique after they convinced KEXP staffers to dance around in animal masks during their 2011 in-studio performance.
On a post-Burning Man vibe, Satori, Cappel and Jakes arrived at the KEXP Bumbershoot Music Lounge. Not only did Zoe Jakes own the stage while balancing a huge vase on her head, she pulled out amazing dance moves with it on her head, gracefully sliding into the splits during “Egyptic.” Jakes’ dancing is the perfect complement to Satori and Cappel’s music, fluently embodying such a variety of influences. Ditching the vase for a drum (no, not on her head), the performance art continued with “Beauty Beats.” Jakes waltzed around the stage, drum in hand, falling into place with the beat laid out by Cappel.
While Jakes ran off stage for a costume change, Satori switched things up with what he referred to as an “electric turkish banjo plus slide” for a brand new song from their upcoming concept album A Thousand Faces. Even with Jakes gone, the duo didn’t spare the theatrics. The two were accompanied by drastic lighting changes faultlessly tuned with the music.
Jakes returned to stage in an even more elaborate outfit, complete with headdress for “Colony Collapse.” For the finale of “Cat Skillz,” the wide-eyed animal masks were revived. Suddenly random audience members had morphed into horses and were running onto the stage to dance with the band. Jakes once again returned, this time in a cat-like mask and unitard. The beastly mayhem culminated in a giant inflatable squid attack, the band members and participants struggling under the colossal tentacles.
