Saturday Night: Laura Musselman's Photos of Fleet Foxes, Cave Singers, The Long Winters at Solo Bar

Posted Nov. 6 at 4:25 pm by Chris Kornelis

Robin Pecknold, Fleet Foxes.

The opening party for Laura Musselman's "Give Me a Moment," is at 8 p.m., Saturday at Solo Bar in Lower Queen Anne.

​After several years of traveling around the Midwest in pursuit of Barusk bands like The Long Winters and Death Cab for Cutie, Laura Musselman finally decided to cut to the chase and re-locate in 2006. "I took my camera every time I went to a show in Seattle," she says. "I took lots of horrible pictures."

By the time we found her the following year at an in-store performance at Easy Street — where she was then employed — she'd just started getting serious and bought her first SLR. Our camera malfunctioned, and we tapped this enthusiastic, trigger-happy shooter on the shoulder. Might you be interested in lending a few pictures our direction?

It's been nearly three years and Musselman has not only avoided burnout, but her pictures — frequently as often as three and four nights a week — have only gotten sharper, and more original. She's chronicled the rise of local do-gooders Fleet Foxes, captured her heroes in Pearl Jam recently at KeyArena, and developed a crush on Elvis Perkins.

Go have a drink with her tomorrow night. And if you can't make it tomorrow, be sure to stop in and see her work by the end of the month.

Questions for Shawn Kock: High School, Slayer, and Bad Music for Bad People

Posted Nov. 2 at 2:47 pm by Chris Kornelis

Jenny Jimenez

​Photo & Questions by Jenny Jimenez

Name: Shawn Kock

Found: Playing guitar for the Absolute Monarchs at a Halloween house party in Magnolia.

Favorite Albums/Bands: Let them Eat by the Monorchid, Night Club by the Yummy Fur, and Bad Music for Bad People by The Cramps

Albums currently listening to: The Spits, Buju Banton, Capleton

First show he attended: All local Sioux Falls, Idaho bands at a garage show in 1992

Last show he attended: Brothers of the Sonic Cloth last month at the Comet

What he listened to in high school: Lots of Minor Threat, Gorilla Biscuits, and Slayer

On what influenced him to become a musician: Listening to records with my dad, like Kiss, Black Sabbath, Queen... stuff like that. I wasn't good at sports. I started playing acoustic guitar at age 12 when I found a Hohner at a garage sale and borrowed the money to buy it from my mom. When I was 14, I babysat my little sister for an entire summer so I could get enough money for an electric guitar and amp. I eventually hocked it for a more metal guitar; a silver crackle Ibanez.

The Absolute Monarchs play the Wild Rose on November 28th.
