Seattle · SeattleLogan Guntzelman performs at Here-After Friday, April 19.
by Dave Segal
Stylistically, LA stand-up comedian/writer Logan Guntzelman is the anti-Jim Carrey, the polar opposite of Robin Williams. She doesn't manically gesticulate, doesn't contort her face, and she eschews impressions. Rather, she delivers jokes—sometimes quite dirty jokes—in a deep-voiced deadpan and with a poker face, succeeding on the sheer strength of her words and setups. Gunt…See the Story

You lived with us until we helped you find a place of your own. Then we babysat for you for free. We did all of this because we wanted to help you, but then you found some lame excuse to be mad at us and to dump us for God knows what reason. Today, you w…See the Story

by Chase Hutchinson
In a world where arts and culture is often devalued, there is truly nothing like going out to experience the transformative power of cinema at a festival.

I did not know how Pacific Northwest Ballet could improve on its production of The Seasons' Canon, the ballet that took my head off when it premiered in Seattle a couple years ago, but improve it they did. Last time, PNB Artistic Director Peter Boal & Co. paired choreographer Crystal Pite's masterful, hyperkinetic meditation on nature with some very good but more or less disconnected ballets.

Seattle · SeattleLast night Matmos inflated a balloon into a hot mic, which is sexier than you'd think.
by Dave Segal
Influenced more by beetles than the Beatles, the Baltimore-based duo Matmos have been underground electronic music's arch conceptualists for nearly 30 years. Every album they release revolves around a different framing idea and consequently, every tour they do presents different approaches and vocabularies of sounds. Their latest LP, 2023's Retur…See the Story
