We recently posted on Seattle Twist about an event, linked here, W HOTELS Symmetry Live presents LP, here at W SEATTLE, which happened on 5/10/12, and we extended the invitation to our readers to join us for an evening of complimentary cocktails while experiencing an intimate performance by LP, one of music’s hottest rising talents.

The event was a huge success, and we want to share some of the evening’s entertainment with you. I’ve posted videos of LP‘s set below, and also videos of interviews with LP, legendary rock and roll photographer, Mick Rock, and Michaelangelo L’Acqua, who serves as the Global Music Director for W Hotels Worldwide.

This video below is an example of what to expect from an intimate live LP performance

LP, now an LA-based singer/songwriter on the rise, recently performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and was included on Paper magazine’s list of the 20 Most Beautiful People. She is one of Esquire magazine’s Artists to Watch in 2012 and was a breakout performer at this year’s SXSW, creating a buzz playing in clubs and busking on the streets of Austin. During GRAMMY Week in February, LP performed at the One Night Only: A Celebration Of The Live Music Experience — the GRAMMY Foundation’s 14th Annual Music

Coming to shoot the action of LP at Symmetry Live is legendary rock and roll photographer Mick Rock, often referred to as “The Man Who Shot the Seventies.” Rock is perhaps best known for his iconic images of David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, Syd Barrett and Queen. He has also published a series of books including Glam: An Eyewitness Account (foreword by David Bowie) (Omnibus Books, 2006), Picture This: Debbie Harry & Blondie (foreword by Debbie Harry) (Omnibus Books, 2004), and, most recently, Exposed: Faces of Rock n Roll (Chronicle Books, Autumn 2010). His recent subjects include Black Keys, The Gossip, Lady Gaga, Michael Stipe and Kate Moss. For more information, visit www.mickrock.com.

Update: Fantastic! I see from today’s press release announcements that LP will also be a featured performer at Bumbershoot 2012 – Seattle’s Music & Arts Festival this year, September 1 -3, 2012.

…and also that LP will be a featured performer along with Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and many more great acts at Music Midtown – Atlanta’s Music Festival - September 21 – 22, 2012

The Atlas Obscura is the definitive guidebook and friendly tour-guide to the world’s most wondrous places. User-generated and editor curated, the Atlas is a collaborative compendium of amazing places that aren’t found in your average guidebook.

And this month, Saturday, April 28th is Obscura Day, an international celebration of unusual places, full of expeditions, back room tours & explorations of the hidden wonders around the world. And Atlas Obscura notes two places in the Seattle area that are weird and wonderful enough to be included in the official Atlas Obscura Day celebration, the Official Bad Art Museum of Art and a tour of the Inscape Building and the Northwest Museum of Legends and Lore.

Tour #1: Atlas Obscura Day at the Official Bad Art Museum of Art, sponsored by Hendricks Gin, a “Gin made Oddly”.

All day is Atlas Obscura Day at Cafe Racer and the Official Bad Art Museum of Art.

Doors open at 10AM Saturday, April 28th. Have breakfast, peruse the Bad Art in the OBAMA, enjoy some “Hendricks Obscure Punch”.

Schedule is as follows:

2:00pm View in amazement an incredible array of bugs, marine invertebrates, isopods and lepidoptera from “Bug Man” Don Ehlen.

.

3:00pm Musical performance by Operadisiac, a surreal opera comedy duo that is sure to delight. Can I share a sample video of what you may expect?… How about Operadisiac performing their own version of the Prince classic, Little Red Corvette!

.

4:30pm Performance by God’s Favorite Beefcake, featuring Shmootzi The Clod of Circus Contraption fame, with music and sword swallowing and God knows what else???  Eeeek!  Check out JoDavideo’s cool videos of them performing on the very same stage last year right here. I guarantee this music will warm your heart, and scramble your brain, or your money back.

Everyone loves Shmootzi The Clod, because Shmootzi The Clod is so perfectly odd!

.

6:00pm (or thereabouts) the Nu Klezmer Army will entertain with their honkin’ versions of old time favorites.

… The hijinks continue until 1am.

Tour #2: Tour of Inscape building and Northwest Museum of Legends and Lore
Peek into Seattle’s past with a tour of the city’s 77,000-square-foot former Immigration and Naturalization Services building, plus a visit to the Northwest Museum of Legends and Lore for rare D.B. Cooper, UFO, and Bigfoot-related artifacts.

Sponsored by Hendrick’s Gin, a most unusual and obscure beverage.
