Muknal / The Haunting Presence @ Musichead

Things wrapped up a bit quicker than I expected at the previously mentioned Musichead show in Medford last week. I thought we were half done when two of the four bands had played, but it turned out that bands three and four were one and the same so no stage changeover time was required. A couple of band members merely left the stage after a few songs, the remaining two members switched instruments, and a few songs later I was on my way home.

Sickened (band) @ Musichead

Next up, after Gore Cadaver‘s short set (the drummer hurt himself and couldn’t continue after just a few songs), was Sickened from Merlin, Oregon.

The quote of the night had to be from Wayne (pictured above). Seconds before Sickened started he said, “thanks for coming out” (perhaps more of a mic check than anything else) which was funny to me as I think there were only two of us in the audience at that point. It was a Tuesday night, and the crowd did grow from there, but I got a chuckle out of that line.

I headed up to Medford last night for a Tuesday night metal show at Musichead. Gore Cadaver from Klamath Falls was on first. The guy doing guitars and vocals, Henry, rolled his eyes back into his head while keeping his eyes open as he sung. I have never seen that before, but it was very metal.

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.
