Inside Right Wrist - We Love Music
Music should be for everyone and we want to help you find the good stuff.
By the final day of SXSW, I was worn out thanks to a cold I had developed over the previous few days. It turns out that when you work from home, your immune system can't handle the craziness of so many people packed into tiny venues. So we slept in and got our start with another set by The Local … [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...]
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...]
Friday at SXSW started out with my favorite band, Frightened Rabbit, at Waterloo Records' day party. Having just seen them at the Showbox did not diminish the experience. Lead singer Scott Hutchison's stage banter was as cheeky as always. After informing the audience that they'd be signing records … [Read more...]
Day two at SXSW started at noon, with a set at Haddington's by Cobalt & The Hired Guns. After hearing so many stories about this band, it was fun to finally see them live. Following Cobalt's set was Seattle-based The Local Strangers' set. I'm continually impressed by their ability to draw … [Read more...]
My first trip to SXSW started with a cab ride to the airport in a white Lincoln towncar. Our driver was a former employee at Arista Records, and we had a sweet little puppy companion, so we were off to a good start. Moments later it was made even better by the realization that Telekinesis was on … [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...]
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...]
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...]
