Fuck! A Monster @ Club 66 in Ashland, Oregon

Opening for 100 Watt Mind last Saturday night @ Club 66 was a band called “Fu*k! A Monster”. The punctuation in their name is very important because “Fu*k a Monster” has a completely different connotation than “Fu*k! A Monster”. In any event, a couple of their members are also in FatherDoug, who I wanted to see play later in the evening. Unfortunately, evening turned into morning, and I had to wake up by about 7 a.m., so I split after 100 Watt Mind at about 1 a.m. and missed Father Doug.

Last night was probably the seventh time I’ve had the privilege of seeing 100 Watt Mind live. While they always put on a great show, their performance last night had more energy than I have ever witnessed before. 100 Watt Mind absolutely killed it from beginning to end at Club 66 on this evening.

I have said it before, and I’ll probably say it again, but I love Club 66. I enjoyed a fantastic Caesar salad prior to 100 Watt Mind. The lighting is so good. So many small clubs do little or nothing in the lighting department, but I really appreciate a venue that puts forth the extra effort to make the lighting as professional as the sound.

Sideshow Project from Grants Pass @ Club 66 in Ashland, Oregon

I went to my first show at the new Club 66 last night. My take is that Club 66 is the best venue for live music in Southern Oregon, period. The sound, lighting, and stage are all superior to other live houses in Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass. If you ever went to Stillwater and found it to be too dark and/or too difficult to get near or see the stage, you’ll want to see the improvements that have been made to the Club 66 version of the place.

As you can tell, the members of Sideshow Project rotated instruments and vocal duties like they were playing musical chairs.

With no alcohol (yet) at Club 66, the place is very kid friendly

Club 66 – Ashland, Oregon – Philly Steak Sandwich with Pesto Salad

I enjoyed another great lunch at Club 66 on Ashland Street (old Good Times, Lumpy’s, Stillwater, Cebolla location) today. Above is my Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich along with a Pesto Salad on the side.

Tonight some reggae bands are playing (Sweetgrass, Frankie Hernandez, and Ras Cricket and The Cultivators). Saturday night is more reggae music (I think):

The Illies, Harlee Case

If reggae isn’t your thing (it isn’t mine), stop in before 8 for some food. Below is my lunch from the other day. Notice the steam coming off of those meatballs.

I enjoyed another fantastic lunch at Club 66 yesterday.

This weekend’s live acts at Club 66 are on the country side of things. Friday night (January 11, 2013) is The Taylor Rose Band, Darrin Wayne, and Ponderosa Breeze. Saturday night is more country music, but I can’t remember who the bands are.
