Inside Right Wrist - We Love Music
Music should be for everyone and we want to help you find the good stuff.
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...]
In a city saturated with guitar-toting musicians, Aaron J. Shay is making his mark armed with a ukulele, clever lyrics and an infectious passion for music. He has been making the rounds in the Seattle for years with his street-folk band The Mongrel Jews (they are all Jewish, so it's okay). But now, … [Read more...]
After waiting in the press room for another band that didn't show, I was determined to get an interview with some other band; even if it was a band I didn't get to see perform during the festival. I decided to bite the bullet and (with some encouragement from one of the press production managers), I … [Read more...]
I have this habit of just hanging out with people when I know I should probably be interviewing them. Awesome for me… not so much for you, our readers. I never record a conversation, the musicians rarely know that I am a writer and I never want to share the full details of our conversations … [Read more...]

The five piece band was driving the stretch between Los Angeles and Oakland, a couple weeks into their month-long cross-country tour. Aviva Stampfer, keyboarder/glockenspieler/vocalist for the band, filled me in on the … [Read more...]
I sat down last week with musician (and friend) Melodie Knight from Campfire OK to talk about the band’s show this Friday at The Crocodile. I partnered up with Morgen and we captured the inside scoop on the band, their upcoming show, why Melodie thinks conversations are an essential part of the … [Read more...]
If you haven’t already heard about ReignWolf’s surprise performance on top of the Easy Street Records van between The Shins set and Jack White’s performance, his rockin’ out on the guitar while sitting on the security guard’s shoulders early Sunday afternoon at the Yeti Stage, the crowd … [Read more...]
So I walked into the media room on Day 4 after shooting John Reilly & Friends’ classic Johnny Cash & June Carter (minus the fumbling addict part) style, or should I just say a more serious Dewey Cox country performance. I found myself sitting beside little miss Sallie Ford of Sallie Ford … [Read more...]
Editor's Note: I have been joking around all week about how Megan, the author of this post, is a chatty person. I may be taking little jabs, but honestly I am jealous of her easy nature in almost any situation. The following story about her chat with Andrew Wessen of Grouplove is just one example … [Read more...]
