Inside Right Wrist - We Love Music
Music should be for everyone and we want to help you find the good stuff.
Editor's Note: One of our talented photographers, Megan Kumakura, has an incredible knack for chatter. What I mean is, she sits down near any one person and she creates an instant bond and friendship that puts them at ease and opens them up. It's a gift that we're lucky enough to incorporate into a … [Read more...]
Last year's Sasquatch was my first experience writing/shooting for IRW, and while I did get a lot of day-time reviews and interviews up, we just couldn't manage to get my big gallery up in the madness of the moment. Apparently sifting through 5,000 photos and editing a handful takes some time … [Read more...]
It was the Saturday following Thanksgiving, after the frantic holiday preparations, massive feasts, food coma, and black Friday craziness had passed. It was also time to hit the music venues for a night of kickin' back and actually enjoying time with family and friends. This particular night, the … [Read more...]
Wednesday evening ended up with an invigorating, last minute assignment to cover Alt-J (∆) and Grouplove at the Moore Theater. British band, Alt-J, created a very soothing environment with beautifully swelling melodies, lovely harmonies and a pulsing baseline that got the crowd gently throbbing … [Read more...]

One dollar!” There was no shortage of … [Read more...]
This year's Summer Meltdown Festival was nothing short of amazing... and hot. Where do I begin? From the musicians that performed, to the dust-loving, sun-kissed, water-floating attendees, to the deliciously refreshing foods, to the surprises that they had in store for us, to the way that I was … [Read more...]
If you are anything like me and have been hiding under a rock until earlier this year, then slap your face and pay attention to the Summer Meltdown Festival that is going down this weekend, Aug 10-12 at the Whitehorse Mountain Amphitheatre in Darrington, WA. With new announcements continually … [Read more...]
On Saturday, June 30th James Coates had a CD release show at the Mandolin Café in Tacoma, WA for Land of Fame & Glory. The bushy-bearded, curly-haired musician chose Umber Mishra, Kurt Lindsay and Gina Belliveau to set the scene for him. I had to arrive late, missing Umber Mishra and the … [Read more...]
