Floater @ OIT
Rob Wynia of Floater
I headed over the Green Springs on Highway 66 last night with my son and his friend to see Floater perform at Oregon Tech (OIT) in Klamath Falls. I have never really been to Klamath Falls before even though it less than two hours from Ashland. I have been through it a few times, but the last time was probably five years ago. So this was my first time on the OIT campus. Floater basically played at the end of the hallway in the student union building, not your typical concert venue.
The stage was only a foot off the ground (if that), there were no spot lights, and strong sunlight was coming in through the blinds behind the band for the first few songs so conditions and lighting were really poor for photography or for just seeing the band (as you’ll especially note in the video at the end).
The crowd was enthusiastic and appreciative. That’s my son, Ryan, in the middle there (with all of the hair) trying to get a mosh pit going. I’m proud to say he succeeded.
David Amador on guitar for Floater
I’ll process a few more photos of Floater from last night and post them tomorrow.
The Secret Sisters
Laura and Lydia Rogers
I had completely forgotten about the opening act for Brandi Carlile and Ray LaMontagne until one of these images appeared as my random desktop background today.
The Secret Sisters @ Britt
I went to The Secret Sisters website to see what they are up to, and it looks like the site hasn’t been updated in six months. However, from their wiki page it seems they got one of their songs onto The Hunger Games soundtrack so you’d think that would be newsworthy.

Another RAW vs. JPEG comparison
Today’s top photo is of Mike Wright from The Yearling, the second band to play on Friday night. I processed it from the original RAW file.
Below is the same file from the original JPG, quite a difference…

Ripper PDX
Headed over to Musichead in Medford last night to check out Ripper from Portland. They had a nice, Motorhead-influenced sound and loads of energy. They don’t seem to have a website, or even a Facebook page, so it’s tough to find out much more about them. I talked to the singer (Robbie I think?) after the show and it appears they are heading down the West Coast and then playing in Mexico before coming back home on this tour.
Sarcalogos
I have yet to attend a show at Johnny B’s that started within an hour of when it was supposed to. I thought Fates Medallion were playing first so when I arrived at just before 10 p.m. I was a bit surprised to see Uzi and the other Fates Medallion guys outside with their gear. I figured they must have went on right at 9 and I missed them. As it turns out, they were playing second even though the flyer appeared to indicate otherwise.
First up was Sarcalogos, a mostly black metal twosome from Portland or Washington or somewhere to the north. Bands usually don’t fit well on Johnny B’s tiny stage, but a band with only two members fit just fine. Spellcaster members couldn’t move with five crammed up there.
Sarcalogos consists of just Dave Phillips (aka Sarcophilus Satanicus) on drums and Skylar Guzman (aka Sarcalogos Occisor) on guitar and vocals.
They seemed like pretty nice dudes. I hope they play in Southern Oregon again.
