The husband-and-wife pop duo plays the Crocodile tonight.

After months spent sailing the Eastern seaboard, husband-and-wife duo Tennis turned out Cape Dory in January, a debut album of nostalgic ’60s pop gems that reflected all that sunshine and fresh air. It was a slice of summer in the middle of the winter.
But Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore seem to have found their sea legs with brand-new single “Origins,” off their forthcoming album Young and Old (due out Feb 2012). It’s more grounded, with a hint of soul (bolstered by synthesizers and a horn section). It bodes well for tonight’s concert at the Crocodile; tickets are ludicrously cheap ($12) and still available atthecrocodile.com.
And Erdman’s paintings: “Some Great Things of the State of Washington”

Derek Erdman shows new work at the Crocodile.
Rock venue the Crocodile is celebrating the second anniversary of its renovation/rebirth with an art exhibit. Classy move, Croc. And they’re bringing in paintings by Chicago transplant Derek Erdman, a pretty hilarious satirist/artist who’s been writing for The Stranger since he moved here seven months ago. He’s been called a “pop artist” before, but the classification is a bit too narrow. Just take a look at his site: derekerdman.com. I don’t think Andy Warhol offered his own psychic hotline.
The Alligator, The Crocodile, Laughs, Lies & Some Great Things of The State of Washington is an exhibit of new work: “It’s the fruits of a discovery process of someone new to the city, and not really sure how they feel about it,” Erdman said in a press release. “I’ve been in Seattle for seven months now and, while the people are wonderful, I’m having a hard time with the rusty, gray, muddy weather.”
Talk art, rock, and Vitamin D supplements with the artist tonight, April 20, from 6–9pm at the Crocodile.
