Inside Right Wrist - We Love Music
Music should be for everyone and we want to help you find the good stuff.
Last Thursday, I braved a school night to watch Bonobo perform a sold out live set at the Showbox Market. My friend Ashley accompanied me because, as everyone knows, concerts are more fun plus one. Upon checking our coats and grabbing a couple of drinks, we scoped out the rest of venue for a prime … [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...]
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...]
Having just released a gorgeous new album, Hummingbird (out now), Local Natives graced the Neptune's stage this last Friday and Monday bringing fresh material to two sold-out, fanatic audiences. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Local Natives in spring of 2010. It was the perfect kind of … [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...]
Andrew McMahon played to an enthusiastic crowd last Tuesday at the Showbox, singing songs from both of his former bands Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate, as well as a few new ones that will be released on his new project The Pop Underground EP April 30th. The night began with the smooth … [Read more...]
If you’ve ever woken up in a car, kissed a drunk girl or just needed a holiday from reality, Andrew McMahon has a song that’s got you covered. The recently independent artist is stepping away from his former bands and record labels and playing under a new moniker: his own name. Although it may … [Read more...]
The great thing about the crowd at a Hey Marseilles show — and in particular, at Friday's album release show for Lines We Trace — is that everyone seems to know the words and feel a sense of total comfort in singing and clapping along at the tops of their projecting abilities. The funny … [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...]
