Despite a postponed show, Earl Sweatshirt gifted audiences with an honest, in-the-moment performance.

DCist interviewed Young the Giant drummer François Comtois in advance of the band’s Sunday night show at The Fillmore in Silver Spring.

The Fillmore Silver Spring finally has an opening date. The Live Nation-owned venue on Colesville Road, which was announced way back in 2007 and hit a long series of speed bumps during development, will officially open on September 15 with a Mary J. Blige concert.

Silver Spring’s new Fillmore music hall will be getting an $800,000 tax break over ten years under a law proposed by Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett.

Is this the end of the Silver Spring Fillmore saga? About a week after withholding funds for Live Nation’s Fillmore music hall in downtown Silver Spring, Montgomery County Council members voted yesterday to approve $2 million more for the project.

Seattlest watches as a S.L.U.T. is born and Seattle Flickr users go nuts over a local art installation. A restaurant critic demands a Diner’s Bill of Rights over a gnat next to her drink, and, in lieu of a Portlandist, Seattlest debates with itself over the identity of the Northwest’s crown jewel. Seattlest also joins the guys from Fantagraphics for an ill-fated gun party in the woods. LAist saw national headlines soar this week with…
