The Monarch Review is hosting a benefit show at the Tractor Tavern on May 12th (doors at 8pm) for the victims of the tragic Oso mudslide.

We are pleased and thankful that Mary Lambert, La Luz and Star Anna have signed on to perform. Tickets are $25 and all of the money goes to the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation.

The independent record label, Brick Lane Records, is home to Iska Dhaaf, Benjamin Verdoes, Mayors of Liberty and more. Seattle, a city that fosters its burgeoning culture of independent producers (like this here magazine), is producing some of the most interesting music and artistic work in the country. We caught up with Brick Lane founder Kirt Debique to find out what drives him toward his indie label success, why he started in Seattle and what, exactly, he thinks about the idea of artistic community.
Zines with Craven Rock vol. 1

At this point in my life, I’ve done more writing than just about anything else, except maybe putting it off. A whole lot of folks interested in writing have asked me “have you been published?” when they find out I write.

When I explain that, for years, I put out my writing in a photocopied paper zine which I distributed all over the world their […]

A man leaning over a chair, another man squatting shirtless, a woman helping to pick up a friend by his arm. These moments, often lost in the day-to-day, are not forgotten by artist Anne Petty. She captures these awkward, human moments in rich paintings. We wanted to catch up with Anne, who was a contributor to our third print edition, Monarch #3, and ask her about her work.

5am brought us a pitch black morning on this long awaited adventure to Treefort Music Fest in Boise, ID, but thank goodness the rain from the night before had stopped. Now we – the Seattle band Friends and Family – would get to see the sunrise over the Cascades in an hour or so as we slowly made our way to the festival we had been so looking forward to. While our drummer and electric guitarist fried up some potatoes and brewed the coffee, our auxiliary percussionist and I stepped out to face the trunk of the Rhino (the Buick […]

He stopped by to chat with The Monarch Review’s Jake Uitti and Sean De Tore about social media addiction, his previous few films and to listen to one of Jay-Z’s best songs (since Shaun, Jake and Sean are all original east coast boys). Have a listen!
