Greg Lehman – Kimo Muraki is a Seattle rock star whose name may not be familiar to you. Like many good musicians, he lends out his talent to a multitude of projects that pique his interest. You see, Kimo is the secret weapon who gives bands an extra edge. He’s the dude in the corner of the ring who tells the boxer which punches to throw.
Matt Brown – On January 23, Seattle band Ms. Led will play their final show at the High Dive. Respected for their fiercely outspoken support for feminism and gay rights, Ms. Led toured throughout the decade and finished their career with their strongest album, Shake Yourself Awake – a blend of angry political punk rock and bittersweet reflections on love and loss.
Evan Gross of Van Gross & The Gypsies spend five minutes with The Snizz.
Ben Allen – I only pray I stumble upon something next year that’s as imaginative and unapologetically original as Why?’s third full-length, Alopecia. Combining elements of “folk,” “indie-rock” and “post-rap,” this is a genre-bending curiosity.
Sean Oliver – Hernan Savastano and Ali Marcus are The Sweetheart Army, a charming indie pop duo that makes perfect use of the male/female vocal dynamic. Before they get too big to talk to us, we figured we better have longtime contributor Sean “The Snizz” Oliver as them some completely irrelevant interview questions.
