On Saturday night, two bands from opposite sides of the country came together in Seattle. Brooklyn’s Spirit Animal, a pop rock quartet with oodles of funk, joined LA’s Dorothy, a blues-rock five-piece, at Neptune Theatre. Both bands put on a rockin’ show filled with sultry smoke and fresh guitar solos. Click through our gallery for a taste of the action.

Born Yesterday, Spirit Animal’s most recent album, was released in August 2018.
