Inside Right Wrist - We Love Music
Music should be for everyone and we want to help you find the good stuff.
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...]
This Saturday, Seattle band Ivan & Alyosha will be releasing their first full-length album "All the Times We Had" at a very special show at Showbox at the Market. Kris Orlowski, Smokey Brights, and the Passenger String Quartet round out the stellar lineup on this night of celebration. Ivan … [Read more...]
There's something about Campfire OK that makes me feel like I am sharing a secret when I talk about them. The Mychal Cohen-helmed band has been around Seattle for awhile now, but they are still a mystery to so many people. They play sparing shows, always with beautiful extras like a themed set or a … [Read more...]
I've noticed more and more lately how many brands have adopted the indie music craze. You know... a commercial comes on and you look up because the song is catchy and fun. Typically it's a band you've never heard of but within six months they're on tour and playing as an opener at Key Arena. There … [Read more...]
I've talked about the Portland-based Ramona Falls before. It's pretty obvious I have fallen hard for anything that Brent Knopf is involved in. My crush started back in the days of Menomena with its oddly dramatic feel created through a mixture of woodwinds, piano and Knopf's mystically alluring … [Read more...]
Tonight at Barboza, The Drowning Men are hitting the stage. We came across this little gem of a video and wanted to share it. If you love old sea-based movies and fun rock music, you're in for a treat. Check it out and then head to Barboza tonight to see 'em in person along with River City Extension … [Read more...]
Kris Orlowski has been on IRW's radar for a long time now. His kind demeanor, earnest lyrics and soft-rock/acoustic sound drew us in immediately. One of the many things that sets him apart are the unique venues in which you encounter his performances. He took part in SeaTac's music initiative … [Read more...]
For the first handful of seconds watching Blue Foundation's video for "Broken Life", I was reminded of Patton Oswalt's bit about a man he encountered at an open mic self-dubbed "Dr. Pepper." If you know what i'm talking about you're already laughing; if not, then watch it and then you'll be … [Read more...]
While scouring the net for new music to see at SXSW (yup, IRW is schlepping down to Austin, traversing insanely packed venues and avoiding general debauchery at this year's fest) I came across a band out of New Zealand called Knives at Noon. Partially because their name kicks butt and partially … [Read more...]
UPDATE: One of our favorites, Mad Maude & the Hatters, was the winner of the Kate Spade Battle of the Bands competition. Hopefully yours truly will be able to catch 'em when they play at SXSW! On Thursday, March 15th a lucky band will be opening for Vivian Girls at South by Southwest in … [Read more...]
