Inside Right Wrist - We Love Music
Music should be for everyone and we want to help you find the good stuff.
If you haven't heard of the Hoot Hoots before, that's all gonna change right now. These guys caught my eye at Treefort Music Festival earlier this year, but it's a shame it took me so long to hear about them. They're the kind of band that you hope to see at a show when you're there for another group … [Read more...]
For this first episode of "Treefort of our Lives" you'll get a recap of my ridiculous adventures of Thursday's shows and some photo-y goodness at the end. From the moment I stepped foot in Boise for this year's Treefort Music Festival, it felt a little like another planet. I'd never taken a … [Read more...]
So Blackstreet is headed to Seattle this week. Yea, that Blackstreet. Over the last couple years, covering their song "No Diggity" has become a thing in this town (perhaps other towns too, but I'm only privy to the trend in this one). The first time I heard it uttered by a local was a set by Hot … [Read more...]
The last two nights at The Crocodile have been full of funk and surprises. Katrina and I headed out to Prombershoot (the prom-themed Bumbershoot announcement lineup party) Thursday with little to no idea what to expect. The thought of Prom to a 30-something like myself brings about annoyance, … [Read more...]
There's been a shift in the music scene lately, have you felt it? In the heady days of The Head and the Heart (HATH), Hey Marseilles, Campfire OK and Bryan John Appleby we couldn't get enough of the "americana" sound. Now it's almost a punchline as we're gnashing our teeth and wishing for something … [Read more...]
I'm talking to you from a coffee shop in Boise, ID. I'm taking it easy and writing down a few thoughts before I throw myself into the madness that every music festival I've been a part of has at its core. Boise is place I had only briefly driven through and never actually visited until today. I … [Read more...]
Natalie, one of IRW's fantastic photographers, has been in the throes of life over the last couple weeks and one of the major things sucking up all her time is preparing for the South by Southwest music festival down in Austin, Texas. For those of you unfamiliar with this particular festival, it's … [Read more...]
When I think of "avant-garde artist collective" my mind immediately wanders to visions of buckets of blood dumped on silent white-clad actors, artists donning strange animal masks and moving around the room crouched and ready to spring or, quite simply, Crispin Glover (check out his pet project of … [Read more...]
This weekend, I was able to see the infamous Sound Off! competition at the Experience Music Project for the first time ever. Three weekends of semifinals culminate in one final music battle for the big prize including recording time, gear, radio airplay, high profile performances and media … [Read more...]
Everyone's heard that anthem for bad relationships and impossible situations dubbed "Brick". In '97 it hit the shelves and by '98 it became a permanent part in our memory of those youthful days of summer. It was depressing as hell but spoke right to us, no metaphors or hidden symbolism. That's … [Read more...]
