Ekstasis @ Club 66 on August 3, 2015

Monday night was a strange one at Club 66, strange but very good. Three touring bands, not on tour together, met up for an evening in which no band sounded anything remotely like any of the others, yet everyone seemed to enjoy the wide variety of music. Photos of the other bands (OVVL and Cloak) coming soon.

You can catch Ekstasis tonight (August 5) in Salem @ The Wisp House, tomorrow (August 6) in Portland @ High Water Mark Lounge, and Friday night in Seattle @ Vermillion. Prepare to be moved.

I’m looking forward to listening to my new copy of The Book of Longing on my drive to Seaside, Oregon tomorrow.

smoky sunset

I took today’s photo as the Ashland High School football team was playing a team from the land of the rising sun. The Japanese flag features a sun of a similar color.

Ekstasis tour 2015

Although this flyer is nearly impossible to read, it does say that Ekstasis will be playing on Monday evening (August 3, 2015) in Ashland at Club 66. OVVL (AKA Owl) and Cloak are also on the bill. Things will kick off at 8 p.m.

Listen to what you are in for here, here, and here–basically a night of bands that sound nothing like each other spanning the likes of folk, black/death metal, and everything in between.

Team Japan @ 2015 Pacific Rim Bowl (Raider Stadium, Ashland, Oregon)

@CoachHall_Griz #PacificRimBowl

After a week of activity, the Japanese football players will be heading home today. I hope they had a good time despite the smoke of the past few days. Maybe I should plan to join the team that goes to Japan from Ashland in two years.

More photos from Friday’s game can be found here.
