@OfficialNeurot @voivoddotnet @AgallochBand @ufomammutmafia

A bit over a year and a half ago, had you asked me what are the top four bands that are still active that I’d like to see live but have not, I would have answered (in no particular order) Neurosis, Tool, Agalloch, and Voivod. Flash forward to midnight tonight, and I will have seen all four of these bands!

The other bands on tonight’s bill are also fantastic. This will be my first time seeing Ufomammut and my third time seeing YOB.

Photos coming on my other blog beginning Sunday.

Belle Fiore in Ashland, Oregon

I can’t make it due to a prior commitment, but hopefully you can. They will be playing from 5:30 to 7:30. Bring some cash so you can pick up their CD, Sick As Folk. My wife can’t stop listening to it, and I like it too. One song off it can be heard here.
