One Super Important Question For Chris Weber
Monday, January 26, 2015 13:29 — 0 Comments
When Chris Weber reached out to me about the Seattle Rock Lottery, I knew I’d of it, but really had no idea what it was. He explained that the latest performance is slated for Feb. 7th at The Crocodile as a benefit for The Creative Advantage. The R.L. would also feature, among many other artists waiting to see which band they’d find themselves in, Adra Boo (Fly Moon Royalty) on vocals, Kelton Sears (Kithkin) on bass, Andrew Joslyn (Passenger String Quartet) on violin, Terri Moeller (The Walkabouts) on drums, and Nikolay Grachev (Juliana & PAVA) on the Russian Hurdy-Gurdy. Some of […]

Here And Now: A Night At The Josephine†– Poster Bot

I’ve never had a very good working relationship with reality. I grew up in California. I was a latchkey kid. Rather than using my after-school freedom to bask in the warm Californian sun, my preference was to park in front of the TV and bask in the warmth of its rays. I watched a lot of cartoons and like the rest of my contemporaries I watched a fair share of 80’s teen movies: The Breakfast Club, Revenge Of The Nerds, Pretty In Pink… These films helped shape my imagination and it is an unjust tragedy that by the time I […]

Seattle’s Bigass Boombox festival is on its second year. The free, all-ages music celebration, slated for Jan. 2nd and 3rd at the Crocodile (primarily) and sponsored by Tom Douglas Restaurants, will feature dozens of musical groups, as well as a literary stage hosted by us, The Monarch Review, and Poetry Northwest. To kick things off, I wanted to reach out to some of the festival’s main players: organizers Adam Prairie, Christina Ellis, Jared Cortese, Caleb Thompson and performer, Robb Benson, in order to get a sense of what they’re thinking leading up to the show!Â
Jason Parker’s “Homegrown”
Monday, November 24, 2014 12:33 — 0 Comments
We at The Monarch love this concept: bringing a group of Seattle musicians together to celebrate jazz, music, and the Seattle scene. Jason Parker is one of the best at this – he is a galvanizer of talent, which is one of the best artistic qualities someone can have, in my humble opinion. Jason writes, “The Seattle jazz scene is bursting with talent and is a true hidden gem of the jazz world. Seattlites know how special it is, but word is only now starting to get out to the rest of the world. I decided to shine a spotlight […]
