More Skelator pics coming soon… Today’s photo is from their show a couple weeks ago in Medford on 11/15/13.
Opening for Finntroll this past Friday night in Portland’s Hawthorne Theatre was Sarcalogos.
Blackguard, Metsatöll, and Ritual Healing were also on the bill on this evening.
Exmortus returns to Southern Oregon for a gig with Hatchet and a couple of local bands (Attic and Insanity’s Reign) at Musichead (11/20/13). Unfortunately, I don’t think I can make it.
Opening for Skelator at Musichead this past Friday night was Machetaso Profano, a two-piece band out of Portland. That evening had the distinction of having an opening two-member band, followed by a three-member band, followed by a four-member band, and finally finished off with a five-member band. There was something mathematically majestic in that band ordering.
Tomorrow night (11/15/13), beginning at 6 p.m., four bands will hit the stage in Medford. It has been a while (6+ months) since I’ve seen Witch Cult. Skelator and Machetaso Profano will be firsts for me.
Friday night (11/1/13) Floater headlined at the Rogue Theatre in Grants Pass. I think I have seen Floater at least two dozen times now. They are always wonderful. I wish they would coming farther south as the one time they played in Medford I was out of the country, and it has been more than a decade since they played in Ashland.
Sometimes I’m mildly disappointed with a band the second time I see them. Perhaps I build the first experience up in my head and expect them to top that false memory the second go around. In any event, that was not the case with Hell’s Belles on my second trip with them. I had even more fun the second go around (11/2/13 in Grants Pass) than I did earlier this year in Eugene.
More pics from this fantastic evening (including The Hollowbodys and 100 Watt Mind) coming soon.
