Onry Ozzborn at Melrose in the Mix
THIS LITTLE UNDERGROUND
Onry Ozzborn, Melrose in the Mix, Aug. 10
A momentous thing just happened at the public
Melrose in the Mix live recording series. No, not the fact that a band named
Demonfuck just played there as a featured act at the
public library. Well, yes – hell yeah – that too. But what I’m talking about here is that the latest edition starred a
national recording artist, a first for the otherwise local series.

Capitalizing on him being in town for a show the night before at Iron Cow for
Swamburger’s new
Trailblazers series, MITM and Swam arranged to have the studio graced by credentialed Seattle alt-rapper
Onry Ozzborn, whose affiliations include 24K names like
Fake Four, Rhymesayers, Aesop Rock, Slug, Mr. Lif and
P.O.S.

Ozzborn impressed here last year as part of a
Fake Four-heavy bill at Will’s Pub headlined by the always astounding
Ceschi. Set in a live studio session, however, there was a
forceful hi-fi punctuation between his rapping and the alluring claustrophobia of his dense beats, allowing his lyrical lines and character of cadence to penetrate in ways a rock club can obscure. And it was impressive to be in the studio for this.

More than just a good performance, though, Onry Ozzborn’s presence alone lent nice
national cred to the truly special Melrose in the Mix series, something that can only raise the profile of the
pro-grade jewel of a recording studio our community has nestled in the second floor heart of the downtown public library.
