I would like to introduce you to our newest reviewer, Nick Larzalere! The first thing you need to know about this guy is that he means business! Aside from his work with Seattle Show Gal, he is a video editor for a small company. His main job there is editing promotional clips by taking the best 1-2 minutes of a 16 minute video for use promoting our material. How perfect is that for Seattle Show Gal? Before that, Nick interned at KIRO radio for a show called Too Beautiful to Live.

So we know that Nick has got the media side down. What about Nick’s love for our community? Nick comments, “Recently, I have really been into indie-pop, so bands like Tullycraft and Bunnygrunt. That means I’ve been going to house shows and smaller bars like The Comet Tavern.

What I love about live shows is the intensity. When even mediocre bands really get into it and get the crowd involved, it’s a great show. One of the reasons I love small shows is that it is such an intimate affair. Large shows are great, but they turn into an over-produced affair; then I lose connection with the band.”

Could Nick be a better fit for SSG??? I mean really … Somebody pinch me … I’m waiting … Hello?

I would like to welcome Nick Larzalere to the Seattle Show Gal staff! (Clap…) Nick, we wait on baited breath for your continued contributions. Below you will find Nick’s first Seattle Show Gal review. Please enjoy the critical review of … The Cute Lepers!
