Seattle musician Sera Cahoone contains multitudes. In one moment, she’s a delicate acoustic guitar player, lending her voice to a song as strings swell and fall behind her. In another, she’s a ball of energy on the mic or while banging on a booming drum kit. Her latest accomplishment is a seven song EP showcasing…

NEW MUSIC ALERT! Today, the Seattle-based band Warren Dunes, released their latest single, “Running For Cover,” and we get to premiere it! So, check it out here: And to celebrate the event, we wanted to talk with Warren Dunes front woman Julia Massey, the uber-talented, warm-souled singer and songwriter about the band’s recent history, the…
News flash (not): This country’s pretty fucked right now. And maddeningly enough, that deeply profound state of fuckery is rooted in the elemental fact that even ideals that we hold to be self-evident can be yanked out from under us if we’re not vigilant. The most ostensibly obvious tenets of our country, the things that…
Every month, our own Aaron Roden delivers some great one-on-one conversations with musicians on his Artist Home Podcast. But with the seventh episode, he’s done something different—and pretty amazing. The OK Hotel was one of Seattle’s pivotal music venues from roughly 1987 until the Nisqually Earthquake damaged the building beyond salvation in 2001. The scrappy…
One of the most indelible images of your average live rock show is a club filled with people – some with long hair, some shirtless – holding plastic cups filled with beer, rocking. It’s a raucous, romping scene where you can imagine smokers on the sidewalks and whiskey shots until closing. But there are other…
Are you ready for Timbrrr!? Our favorite excuse to go up to Leavenworth for the weekend is just around the corner, and we are so excited. But back to being ready for Timbrrr! Winter Music Festival, which is presented by our friends at Carter Subaru. There are a few things you need to know before you make…

He represents a creative dualism that is always moving, always re-shaping but, as a result, never specifically grounded or tied to anything – well, except when it comes to matters of the heart and Raven’s close relationship with partner…
I’ve been navigating the sonic labyrinth that is Quazarz vs. the Jealous Machines and Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star, the two-disc opus from hip-hop futurists Shabazz Palaces, for two months straight now. And in a lot of ways, I’m still happily lost in the damn…
The full-on 10-song-or-longer recorded album is for, all intents and purposes, an anachronism in a world where our rapidly-eroding attention spans demand instant gratification from music. But while the format is on the ropes, it’s not down for the count yet. I’d be the last to deny the elemental power of a great three-minute pop song….
In the dustbowl days of the early 20th century, the refrain could be heard far and wide: Brother, can you spare a dime? Now, though, things are markedly different. More often, people – especially those in the music field – seem to be in unison, Hey! Quick! Give me a click! With the advent and…
