If you like hare rock bands, Tool is the band for you. They are playing at the Everett Event Center here in Seattle. Here is some info from wikipedia:
Tool is an American rock band, formed in 1990 in Los Angeles, California. The band consists of drummer Danny Carey, bassist Justin Chancellor, guitarist Adam Jones, and vocalist Maynard James Keenan.
The band emerged with a heavy metal sound on their first LP when the genre was dominated by thrash metal, and was later seen at the top of the alternative metal movement with the release of their second LP, Ænima, in 1996. Efforts to unify musical experimentation, visual arts, and a message of personal evolution continued with Lateralus (2001) and the most recent album 10,000 Days (2006) and gained the band critical acclaim and success around the world. Tool has won three Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries.[1]
Due to Tool’s incorporation of visual arts and relatively long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transgressing act and part of progressive and art rock. The relationship between the band and today’s music industry is ambivalent,[2] at times marked by censorship and the bandmembers’ insistence on privacy.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is a weird name. They are coming to Seattle to play at the Wamu theater. Here is some info from wiki:
Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced ‘lĕh-’nérd ’skin-’nérd) (or IPA pronunciation: [lɛ’nɝd skɪ’nɝd]) is an iconic U.S. Southern rock band. The band reached prominence during the 1970s under the leadership of vocalist and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant until he died, along with several other members of the band, in a plane crash in 1977 in McComb, Mississippi.
The band was named after Leonard Skinner, a gym teacher/basketball coach for some of the members at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida. Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the most critically acclaimed Southern Rock groups (although the term did not exist at the time they formed) of the 1970s and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as of March 13, 2006. Their distinctive triple-lead guitar sound made their songs “Free Bird”, and “Sweet Home Alabama” American anthems and staples of FM radio. Members inducted include: singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarists Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Ed King, and Steve Gaines, bassist Leon Wilkeson, keyboard player Billy Powell, and drummers Bob Burns and Artimus Pyle.

Evanescence got big after their song that got on the Dare Devil soundtrack. They are coming to Seattle soon to play at the Wamu theater. Here is some info from wiki:
Evanescence was founded by singer, pianist and songwriter Amy Lee and former lead guitarist and songwriter Ben Moody. The two met in 1994 at a youth camp in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Moody heard Lee playing “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)” by Meat Loaf on the piano. Their first songs were “Solitude” and “Give Unto Me,” written by Lee, “Understanding”, and “My Immortal”, written by Moody. The songs were edited by both artists, and they shared equal credit.
Two of Lee and Moody’s songs found playtime on local radio stations, raising local awareness of the group and demand for a show. The band eventually appeared live, and became one of the most popular acts in the area. After experimenting with band names, such as Childish Intentions and Stricken, they decided on Evanescence, which means “disappearance” or “fading away” (from the word evanesce, which means “to disappear”). Lee has stated she loves the name because “it is mysterious and dark, and places a picture in the listeners’ mind”.
Their first full-length demo CD, Origin (released in 2000), is relatively unknown. The band also released two Extended plays (EPs). First, the self-titled Evanescence EP (1998) of which about 100 copies were made, and second the Sound Asleep EP, also known as the Whisper EP (1999), limited to 50 copies. Origin and the EPs contain demo versions of some of the songs on their debut album, Fallen. For example, the recording of “My Immortal” found on Fallen can also be found on Origin, minus a handful of additional string accompaniments. Only 2500 copies of this record were produced; in response, Lee and Moody encouraged fans to download the band’s older songs from the Internet.

I love Canada. Stars the band is coming to the Showbox theater here in Seattle. Tickets are at the Stubhub link below. Here is some info from Wiki:
Stars is a Canadian indie pop band. Originally formed in Toronto by vocalist Torquil Campbell and keyboardist Chris Seligman, the band relocated to New York City and then subsequently to Montreal.
Their music has been described as “beautiful, eloquent indie pop”, characterized by lush instrumentation, nimble production and mixing, narrative lyrics, and soft but nuanced vocals.. The band’s style has evolved from an electronic-pop sound as heard on Nightsongs (released on the Le Grand Magistery record label) to more rock-based instrumentation on their last two full-length albums, reflecting the permanent additions of singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley on Heart (released on Paper Bag Records), and eventually drummer Pat McGee on Set Yourself on Fire.
The band’s breakthrough single was “Ageless Beauty”, from their 2004 album Set Yourself on Fire. While released to minimal fanfare in Canada in October 2004, Set Yourself on Fire slowly gained a strong following and critical praise soon after its March 8, 2005 U.S. release.

Who doesn’t like to see a half naked man in sweat pants? Pepper is coming to Seattle in the late fall and I hope he puts on more clothing for the weather. Come to the Showbox Theater for the show. Here is some info from Wiki:
After gathering a local following on the Big Island, Pepper gained the interest of Volcom Entertainment, who produced & distributed the band’s first release, “Give’n It”, combining dancehall, reggae, hip-hop, and pop. With the success of Give’N It, the band landed a spot on the 2001 Warped Tour.
After extensive touring, Pepper took to the studio with Steve Kravac (Less Than Jake, MXPX) to record their second album entitled “Kona Town”, released in March of 2002. With Kona Town, Pepper’s sound continued to evolve, adding elements of an “island sound”. The track “Give It Up” was released as a single.
Pepper continued to tour throughout 2003 and into 2004, including dates with 311 and Snoop Dogg, along with appearances at the annual Bob Marley Birthday celebration, San Diego’s Festival “Street Scene”, and a U.S. tour with Slightly Stoopid.
In March of 2004, Pepper released “In With the Old”. Recorded at 311’s completely-analog Hive studios by Ron St. Germain, the album showcases a broader range of influences shared by the trio, exploring everything from heavy metal, ’80s pop and more dub.

I don’t know anything about Tegan and Sara, so I went to wikipedia to give you info. They are coming to Seattle to play at the Showbox theater. Come and See. Here is some info from Wiki:
Tegan and Sara were born in Calgary, Alberta. The duo initially played as PLUNK, and lacked a drummer or bass player. In 1997, the two used their school’s recording studio to record two albums: Who’s in Your Band? and Play Day. In 1998, they made an early breakthrough by winning Garage Warz Battle of the Bands, a local music competition in Calgary. Since then, the two have toured extensively with many artists, including Neil Young, Rufus Wainwright, The Pretenders, Ben Folds, The Killers, Rachael Cantu, Vivek Shraya, Cake, Gogol Bordello, Hot Hot Heat, Ryan Adams, Veda Hille, Little Birdy, Iron On, Little Brazil, Bryan Adams and Weezer and on Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair. They were originally signed to Neil Young’s Vapor Records in Canada, and to Sire in the U.S. as their previous label, Sanctuary Records, is no longer releasing new music in the U.S. They are currently signed with Warner Brothers’ Records. Currently, Tegan lives in Vancouver and Sara lives in Montreal
When they were competing in Garage Warz, the duo was known as “Sara and Tegan” because when contacted at the last minute and asked for a name Tegan just said “Well we’re just Sara and Tegan..” and they were registered with their names in that order. Their first album, Under Feet Like Ours, was initially released under the name “Sara and Tegan”; copies are now a sought-after commodity among their fans.
