To use a word that the twins themselves fancy, the Shook Twins are delightful women who play delightful music. Katelyn and Laurie Shook of the Northwest duo the Shook Twins are, quite literally, identical twins. They are joined on stage at Seattle’s The Triple Door by their bassist, Kyle Volkman. With alike voices, Katelyn is […]

I just had so many “Whoa, this is really happening!” moments at Bumbershoot. 1) Met Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates. He was just walking around checking out Ian Moore & The Losy Coils briefly before we said hi and he rushed into the KEXP lounge. 2) Got to sit next to Fitz & The […]

It reminds me of something that might have happened a decade before the trend of bands taking pictures on their iPhones to share immediately on […]
At this point, my friends and I have noticed a certain phenomenon as a result of Decibel Fest. We find ourselves dancing regardless of what we’re doing. Walking to a bus stop? You got it. Cooking? Sitting? You name it. As awesome as this development is, add five days of selfishly dancing until two in […]
Saturday included dB in the Park at the Broad Street Stage in Seattle Center. Nearing the end of the seven hour event, LA based artist Nosaj Thing took the stage. Randomville’s Decibel Festival photographer Adam Mario reviews his performance: Nosaj Thing creates his music with a unique style manifested through the use of atmospheric synthesizers, […]
Friday night brought The Art of Rhythm showcase with Phutureprimitive, Emancipator, and Beats Antique. It was one of the few 16+ show in the festival.
