A similar scene to today’s photo will happen not in 9 days but in a mere 5 days. If you’d like to help the team get to Daytona, or if you’d like to ride on the flight with them, see this article for details.

Jonathon McKinnon of Numinosum

I’m hoping Numinosum’s show at Johnny B’s a few nights ago wasn’t a one-off kind of deal.

@BuckleRash First up last night was Buckle Rash. I had met these guys before for a 5-minute photo shoot for the Jefferson State Vines cover, but I had never seen them play live. I’m not normally one to seek out live experiences with bands who include words like “country” or “punk” in their description. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. They are fantastic.

This was also my first show at the Imperial Event Center in Medford. The IEC is beautiful–great sound, raised stage, best lighting in Medford, lots of nice seating, hardwood dance floor, and inexpensive drinks. The only drawback is you can’t see the band if you are in the bar. Maybe that’s a good thing if you are skipping one of the bands. 😉

In Flames @ Medford Armory (12/14/12)

In Flames has a new album coming out soon. Hopefully, they will come to Southern Oregon on their next tour to support their next release.

Due to a number of factors (Title IX, SOU having football and wrestling, limited budget, etc.) SOU has a Women’s Soccer Team but no Men’s Soccer Team (or baseball). However, there are various club sports like lacrosse, rugby, and men’s soccer.

I witnessed my first SOU Men’s Soccer Club game this past Sunday at U.S. Cellular field in Medford. Southern Oregon University beat Western Oregon University (Monmouth) 4-0. The third goal went like this…

Rob Maramonte of the band Fallujah (March 22, 2013)

I went to Medford to see Witch Cult and Fallujah a couple weeks ago. It was the first (and last) time I have been to The Wreckroom. The sound was OK for Witch Cult, but it was awful for Fallujah so they only played a few songs. The lighting was also abysmal. It was like a concert in a small, dark closet. Hopefully, Fallujah will play somewhere else, like Musichead or Club 66, next time through.
