Cafuné - Paramount Theatre - 9.30.22

There aren't a whole lot of artists or bands who can say their first time performing in Seattle was to a sold out audience in the historic Paramount Theatre, but New York's Cafuné can. Opening up for Chvrches on their Screen Violence tour, Cafuné left their mark on the audience with a rollicking set, making the most of their 40 minute slot and undoubtedly priming themselves to come back to Seattle on a sold out headlining tour of their own in the near future. 

If you have TikTok, You may know Cafuné from their viral hit "Tek It" from their debut album, Running. Shortly after blowing up on socials, Elektra Records signed Cafuné. Smart move on their part, because Sedona Schat and Noah Yoo's musical chops and showmanship ensures they're set up for a lengthy touring career, regardless of having another song go viral on TikTok.

With a musical through-line of alt-pop and indie rock, Cafuné would nest nicely in your playlist alongside Phoebe Bridgers, the aforementioned Chvrches, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in equal measure. Their next tour will undoubtedly be as a headliner, and when they come to your town, you'd be well served hitting up their show and moving those dancing feet to their effortlessly catchy sound.

Catch Cafuné on tour now, and hopefully again soon.

The Head and the Heart w/ Rose Windows at the Paramount Theater Seattle, WA

This past weekend's line up at the Paramount was not only a tip of the cap to the Seattle music scene but also a showcase for what Sub Pop has to offer to an ever changing world of music.

Preluding The Head and the Heart's first night at the Paramount, Rose Windows broke out with a robust and soulful presence. Rose Windows is no longer a band only for the "cool kids". Their unique sound, hard work, and energy has set them far apart from the rest of the herd.

The Head and the Heart is never surprising yet always wildly impressive. Their catchy songs and on-stage disposition makes you feel like you are watching a band that has been together for 10+ years. The H&H have been on tour pushing their sophomore album "Let's be Still" like a drug and everybody is an addict. 

Coming full circle, and back in their home town, they were warmly welcomed by their biggest fans in one of Seattle's most beautiful venues.
