Kaichi, of the Eugene rock band, The Dimly Lit hit me up the other day and asked me to listen to his band’s new EP. He sent me the files and I gave it a listen. I really dislike writing album reviews. How do you review someone’s art? That said, this is what I think. […]
I know, you can’t have a favorite when you’re at Treefort! Well, I have to say there are some sets that just completely blew me away. There’s no better vehicle for music discovery than Treefort. What better way to get to know bands than to see them perform live? A lot more fun than Spotify. […]
Drummers, we photographers haven’t forgotten about you, we just can’t see you very well.
Day five was a lot of fun. Despite waking up to a couple of inches of snow, it turned quite nice, it rapidly melted way. I took it easier than the previous four days and I still managed to photograph ten shows. Early in the day, I spent a little time with a couple of […]
A long Saturday and it was a doozy. It was a lovely day for a music festival. I caught a lot great acts. Many I’ve never heard before. I love all the side-shows of Treefort, I caught a couple of those today. And And And, Tocaio, and Haley Heynderickx. Saturday is usually my favorite day […]
I feel I took it a lot easier for day 3, but I also saw a lot of great music. Unlike my media-comrades-in-arms, I have been approaching my assignment like a regular show-goer. I don’t dart in and dart out for a couple of pictures and hit the next venue. I usually stick around for […]
I knew Thursday’s lineup would be good, I knew it would be good, but it exceeded my expectations. The worked out nicely! The first stop was Neurolux for Kid Dakota, from Minneapolis. Not a great band name, but a damn fine two piece rock band. It was an early show and the venue wasn’t very […]
Treefort is starting off nicely. I really love this festival, I enjoy the format of this festival. For the uninitiated Treefort is a five-day music festival with stages scattered across downtown. The stages are at different bars and music venues. There are often lines to get into the different stages. That’s ok though, it’s still […]
I managed to attend a fantastic benefit at the Nikasi Taproom last night; “Pints for a Cause.” The brewery donates a buck from every point sold to a charitable the cause. This night’s cause benefits something near and dear to my heart, analog photography. The Eugene Darkroom Group is working to open a public darkroom […]
We all have a friend that has a band. A lot of us are guilty of never going out to see that friend’s band. I fell into that trap, but I finally went to see Fools last night at Luckey’s Club. They opened a three band show with Left On Wilson and Normal Bean Band. […]
Burger A Go Go Wednesday night at my favorite venue in Eugene, the Main Room at the Hi-Fi Music Hall was amazing. A fantastic evening with The Flytraps, Feels, Death Valley Girls, and The Coathangers. This was two night event, I could only make it to the first night. I’m certain, night two was just […]
