photo by Dave Lichterman Debo Band was without a doubt the largest band performing at the Bumbershoot Music Lounge last month, and it's likely that their 11 members crowding the tiny stage made one of the biggest sounds of the entire weekend. Led by saxophonist Danny Mekonnen and vocalist Bruck Tesfaye, what started as a practice band in Boston has quickly become one of the most unique artists on Sub Pop Records. Their music, filled to the brim with countless influes spanning continents and decades, is a continuous surprise, [...]

Photo by Morgen Schuler Portland based singer-songwriter Alela Diane stood in for Oberhofer at our Bumbershoot Music Lounge this year, adding a lovely dose of acoustic to calm festival goers. She performed four new songs from her album in progress, as well as played several old ones from Alela Diane and Wild Divine and The Pirate's Gospel . Bumbershoot can get crowded and busy, but listening to Alela Diane's crystalline voice indoors was refreshing as soft folky breeze. Watch the videos here: [...]

photo by Dave Lichterman For better or worse, a lot of musical duos eventually become somewhat of a one trick pony, falling victim to the limited nature of whatever two instruments and style they've adopted. The Helio Sequence is not one of those bands. Although the Portland duo has undoubtedly developed a signature style over the course of their 16-year career, to the delight of fans and critics alike they've done so while continuing to put out some absolutely amazing songs. Fresh off their fifth album, Negotiations , Brandon Summers and Benjamin Weikel [...]
KEXP just uploaded Portland's Helio Sequence session from the KEXP Lounge sessions at Bumbershoot Music Festival from earlier this month. Watch "October" above off their new album, ' Negotiations ', out now

Photo by Morgen Schuler Energetic Post-Punk group JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound and their bounce and beat shook up the Bumbershoot Music Lounge this year. Brooks - who trained as an actor - brought his best showmanship and soul, inviting the audience to Oo and Aah along with him. With his sweet croons and hilarious repertoire in "I Got High" he was one of the highlights of the Lounge. Just in case you missed it, check out photos here and watch our video below:

photo by David Lichterman The Swedish duo Niki & The Dove made the Bumbershoot Music Lounge stage look dreary compared to Niki's outfit and voice. The set opened with bleeps and bloops echoing out of the darkness and slowly built up through "Mother Protect" before finally letting Niki's voice out like a ray - "who can keep me down?" Fierce, fantastic - and if you missed Niki & The Dove at the Lounge, you can see it all here. [...]
