Inside Right Wrist - We Love Music
Music should be for everyone and we want to help you find the good stuff.
The great thing about the crowd at a Hey Marseilles show — and in particular, at Friday's album release show for Lines We Trace — is that everyone seems to know the words and feel a sense of total comfort in singing and clapping along at the tops of their projecting abilities. The funny … [Read more...]
Seattle band Hey Marseilles is one of the most unique and beloved groups in the city, thanks to their graceful melodies and hypnotizing string arrangements. Although the band has been around for several years, they don't have a whole lotta material out. So, you can imagine my delight that they will … [Read more...]
Sasquatch 2013 is just around the river bend (Pocahontas style) and we are simultaneously so excited it's happening, totally nervous it won't be as good as (enter year here), and nostalgic about (that other time). So, when STG gathered all the people in Seattle who go to concerts and have a Twitter … [Read more...]
Driving home from a friend's house at 2am one night, a song came on over the radio. Without knowing it, I slowed my car to a complete stop in the middle of a major road in Ballard. "Maybe some other time then, I'll come back again" the girl emoted over building drums. "Honey, while you were ashing … [Read more...]

Maybe "delightful," "raucous," "charming"... we could go on and on about how wonderful he was, and those who were packed in next to us on that night would probably … [Read more...]
This is going to sound... I don't know how to say it. Okay, I'm just going for it: Until Bumbershoot, I had never watched an entire Hey Marseilles set. I've seen Matt Bishop, the charismatic front man from the symphonic band, play solo in living rooms and red rooms and rooms where food is being … [Read more...]
Some bands suffer from the outdoor-ness of festivals--Gold Leaves thrives. Grant Olsen's voice has a richness which translates well to the outdoor venue of the Sub Pop stage. His natural vocal reverberations echo over the field. Bill Patton's shredding guitar and Tomo Nakayama's brilliant keyboard … [Read more...]
White fluff decorates the air as the soon-to-be passengers of the musical food tour "Musical Plates" fiddle with the faux fur mustaches they’ve been given. We stand in clumps in the graffiti'd courtyard of Fremont's Pel’Meni Dumpling Tzar, slightly dazed by the sun peeking above the buildings … [Read more...]
