Last night was probably the seventh time I’ve had the privilege of seeing 100 Watt Mind live. While they always put on a great show, their performance last night had more energy than I have ever witnessed before. 100 Watt Mind absolutely killed it from beginning to end at Club 66 on this evening.
I have said it before, and I’ll probably say it again, but I love Club 66. I enjoyed a fantastic Caesar salad prior to 100 Watt Mind. The lighting is so good. So many small clubs do little or nothing in the lighting department, but I really appreciate a venue that puts forth the extra effort to make the lighting as professional as the sound.
The plaza in Downtown Ashland was once covered in trees. Right now there is nothing but a big mud hole. Apparently, one of the trees was diseased and another had some sort of future problem. So nearly everything has been ripped out, and a new plaza will be emerging in the next few months. Things are supposed to look good again by the end of March.
Today’s photo is of the last glimpse of one of the now gone trees. This tree was the last one in town to retain its autumn leaves–well into December.
Opening for Zepparella and Hells Belles earlier this month in Eugene was a local band called The Dead Americans.

I went to my first show at the new Club 66 last night. My take is that Club 66 is the best venue for live music in Southern Oregon, period. The sound, lighting, and stage are all superior to other live houses in Ashland, Medford, and Grants Pass. If you ever went to Stillwater and found it to be too dark and/or too difficult to get near or see the stage, you’ll want to see the improvements that have been made to the Club 66 version of the place.
As you can tell, the members of Sideshow Project rotated instruments and vocal duties like they were playing musical chairs.
