The Hollowbodys
Soothesayers and Expired Logic are also on the bill this Thursday night (10/23/14).
The Hollowbodys
Things kick off at about 10 p.m. (4/18/14) If I’m still awake and have any energy at that point in the evening I hope to be there.
The Hollowbodys
If you didn’t land a ticket to tonight’s sold out basketball doubleheader, head over to Club 66 for an all ages early show beginning at 5 p.m. featuring The Hollowbodys, Am I Wrong?, and Aryana Sarringar.
Hell’s Belles’ Amber Saxon
Sometimes I’m mildly disappointed with a band the second time I see them. Perhaps I build the first experience up in my head and expect them to top that false memory the second go around. In any event, that was not the case with Hell’s Belles on my second trip with them. I had even more fun the second go around (11/2/13 in Grants Pass) than I did earlier this year in Eugene.
More pics from this fantastic evening (including The Hollowbodys and 100 Watt Mind) coming soon.
100 Watt Mind set list
100 Watt Mind was excellent, as always, in Grants Pass this past Saturday night. However, I’m a bit pissed off at them now. I bought one of their new CDs (Out of Night) at the show. Upon opening it up I found a bunch of my photos being used without permission or attribution.
I could put a big, ugly watermark on all of my photos like many photographers do. Or I could just not share my photos unless people pay me for them like a lot of photographers do. Instead, I have a very simple copyright policy which can be reached by clicking on the word copyright on every page of the blog.
Use my photos all you want for non-commercial purposes with proper attribution. You don’t even need to ask. If you want to use a photo for commercial purposes (like 100 Watt Mind did), ask. I would have said yes, and I would have charged them $0. Everyone would have been happy. Instead, I’m just a little pissed. If I didn’t otherwise like them, I’d be really pissed.
Would a musician want their work to be taken and used by someone else without permission or attribution? I don’t think so. Why do some musicians think that it is OK to do such a thing to a photographer?
Last night Eric (pictured above) and I headed up to Grants Pass to see Floater for something like the sixth time. I brought along my Nikon D7000 to practice shooting concerts with before the festivals this summer for which I will likely have a press pass (Roskilde in Denmark and Getaway in Sweden). I didn’t really expect them to let me in with it, but they said nothing.
I’ll post a couple dozen photos and some videos from the show over the next week.

The Rogue Theatre’s poor lighting didn’t make photography easy. I tried a half dozen different settings and never really found anything that worked great in low light. Most of the shots that came out OK were on the rare occasions when the lighting got almost half-way decent for a moment.
The D7000 video capabilities aren’t too amazing in low light, or I didn’t have the settings right. Anyone know good settings for recording video at a concert on the D7000? I should have filmed the videos by the sound board for higher quality audio. Lesson learned.
