Arlo Brooks

Northwest Pizza and Pasta Company has transformed itself under new ownership over the past year and a half. They now have an open mic night. After hours they have started having live acts as well.

I headed to Northwest last night to hear Twice Born Gypsies, a band I’d never heard of before, but the “psychedelic space rock” description sounded good. “Fuck! A Monster” was listed as the opening act on the ad I saw, but given that members are also in FatherDoug (who was playing in Medford at the same time), I figured that wouldn’t happen. Arlo Brooks, who is in Fuck! A Monster but not FatherDoug, opened. His set was a trip, and everything he used to make the sounds he created fit in his backpack.

Witch Cult @ Club 66 (2/27/13)

Witch Cult opened for Sarcalogos last week at Club 66. If you were there, no doubt you will be there on March 20 when they will open for Witchaven and Exmortus. If you weren’t there, you will have another chance.

moe. played in Ashland last night for the first time. It was my first time seeing them, but I met a guy in the audience from New York who was at his 61st moe. concert!
