100 Watt Mind @ Johnny B’s

Nate Hurlocker normally plays the guitar for 100 Watt Mind. On this evening they were missing their bassist so he took over on bass and Brynna Dean played his guitar in addition to performing her normal, stunning vocals.

After Fates Medallion left the stage at Johnny B’s, we were treated with 100 Watt Mind.

Brynna Dean has some amazing pipes. I’ll try to get some more photos of 100 Watt Mind up soon.

I did some more video experimentation. Next gig I’ll have the video nailed.

Atriarch (band)

Nick on bass for Atriarch

Tenguska opened for the band I really went to see on Thursday night, Atriarch.

Lenny on vocals for Atriarch

Brooks on guitar and Maxamillion on drums -- the drums were the only instrument that sounded anything like "normal"

Atriarch put on an incredible show. I only hope it isn’t the last time I get to experience the atmosphere they are able to create with their live performance.

Floater at The Zoo in Roseburg

Floater marquee - The Zoo - Roseburg, Oregon

I took a small road trip up I-5 for a couple hours to see Floater in Roseburg this past weekend. Floater played outdoors, on a stage built behind the old strip club which is now a bar called The Zoo.

The Zoo may no longer be a strip club but the pole dancers live on!

Aimee Mann @ Britt last night

Aimee Mann takes the stage at Britt Festival 2011

After narrowly missing Aimee Mann’s performance in Tokyo a couple years ago, I have finally been able to attend one of her shows. Last night at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville was wonderful. More photos to come soon…

Built to Spill @ Ashland Armory

there is no enemy tour 2010

A week ago I had never even heard of “Built to Spill”. A friend said they may be worth checking out at the Ashland Armory last night so I listened to them constantly for the past few days and became a quick fan.

The show was really good, and I’m paying the price for that goodness today. 😉 Tomorrow I’ll post another picture and a video. If you like Neil Young and/or The Flaming Lips then I highly recommend picking up Built to Spill’s latest CD, There Is No Enemy. I can’t get enough of it.

Zepparella

Another photo from last week’s Zepparella gig at the Ashland Armory…

The last Led Zeppelin show in the USA happened just a few miles from my home. It was one of those “Days on the Green” that Bill Graham did. Being only 8 years old at the time, I wasn’t there. However, I did read Hammer of the Gods between innings at A’s games held at the same location in 1985, and I owned their entire collection on CD before the 80s were over.

Seeing Zepparella twenty-something years later is the next best thing. Actually, Zepparella probably play the songs a bit tighter live, and they are easier on the eyes anyway. 😉
