Sexy Men and Rockin' Chicks

Two weeks ago we trekked out to the beloved Gorge in George, Washington to rekindle our love affair with Kings of Leon. It had been since Austin City Limits last year that we've seen our favorite men play live and damn it, it was about time to have a musical orgasm all over again. They played old favorites, the hits like "Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody" (at which point, all the douches came out of the woodwork and treated the Gorge like their own personal dance club, complete with man-on-man dancing and the elusive "douche dance" which is rarely seen,unless you spend time at said club.) and new songs ("Mary" and "Southbound") from their upcoming album.

The boys pleased all of our senses and and in true rock and roll style, they ended their set with a display of fireworks. Kudos boys, it was truly a pleasure. Come back anytime.

The very next weekend we headed to Seattle for the Capitol Hill Block Party! Although there were tons of great bands playing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we only went for Sunday's show and it was for one reason only: The Dead Weather.

I don't have to explain the appeal of them. Jack, Allison, LJ, and Dean are the quintessential rock stars. They exude sex appeal and can rock the shit out of anything; including a make-shift stage on the edge of a city block. It was a hot Seattle day, people were literally packed on top of each other, but once that music started, nothing else mattered.
