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.

Sean De Tore is one of the coolest cats in the biz. He works on KIRO Radio’s Ron and Don Show, is a regular contributor to the widely popular TBTL Podcast and curates, and produces and hosts The Mixtape Podcast, which features an array of Seattle’s best bands (he even has a Mixtape tattoo!). We at The Monarch wanted to ask Sean One Super Important Question about what inspires him about the Seattle music scene.Â

Jen Chiu, mastermind behind the Roll with Jen food blog, is one of the most fun people to go out to dinner with. She knows all the hot spots, many of the chefs, and is constantly asking questions about recipes, flavors and everything else that makes for fun dinner conversation. As such, we thought we’d ask HER a few questions about what she likes about the Seattle – and northwest – food scene.Â
Seahawks and Jesus

This clip of the devilish Mark Driscoll popped up the other day with him talking to Seahawks players. Besides looking old and sounding foolish, he never lets go of that bible! Given the video, we thought we’d check in with our resident religion expert, Stephanie Drury, to get her thoughts on the conversation.
Sharing Secrets With The Watt Sisters

Sisters Kristen and Carrie Watt curate and host both the Seattle Living Room Shows and Seattle Secret Shows, both of which have grown from small 15-20 person performances beginning in 2008 to bigger – yet still intimate – 100-200 person shows to date. They’ve booked bands from St. Paul De Vence to Damien Jurado. The Monarch caught up with the Sisters Watt to ask them a few questions about the great things they got going on!
