Blue Horns at Backspace

This is a show I filmed from a while back at Backspace – a night with 4 awesome bands: Patterns, Inside Voices, Blue Horns and Church. I’ll be putting out more videos as time passes I spun the wheel and today you get to enjoy a song by Blue Horns.

If you’re digging this one, there [...]

Mattress Rolls Holocene

Instead of attempting to navigate the haze of genre-identification in the realm of music I’ll drop Portland duo Mattress into the sub-genre of Gnarly. The tunes, full of atmosphere and off-the-rails confidence, can’t adequately be lumped into a one-line description. And this  is a principal reason why I’m so smitten.
Case in point: this video, recorded [...]

The Ascetic Junkies performing “French Girls,” 2 Cameras and a Projector

Another concert video from the January 2nd show at Mt. Tabor Legacy. The folk-frenzy of the Ascetic Junkies is in full force with their song “French Girls.” If you like this video, check out “Kansas Road Trip,” which I posted at an earlier date. This was filmed by Sean Whiteman and myself, the re-projected [...]

King Khan and the Shrines Wreck Dante’s

Sean’s been telling me sporadically about the King Khan and BBQ show for a while, since he used some of their music in his feature length film “The Disgusting Little Shiver” – I just recently started listening to their music after our friend Jeff purchased a 2-vinyl album and left it in my collection.

“Trying” by Grey Anne

Here is another cut from the a January 2nd show that I blogged about earlier. This was a show we organized at Mt. Tabor Legacy to experiment with some live projection techniques. Aside from some janky wooden ladder climbing, it was a pretty successful evening. Grey Anne’s performances are always interesting to [...]

Dead Confederate covers Sonic Youth

When we filmed the Ascetic Junkies for their Penny Jam [...]

Ume at the Mohawk, Austin Texas

I filmed this on my first day in Texas, an Austin band called Ume letting loose in the Mohawk. I was hanging out with Dave of pampelmoose.com and filming some stuff with him for his music blog. I ended up seeing Ume play a few more shows during the week of South by [...]

The Tallest Man on Earth returns to Rontoms

Swedish folk rambler The Tallest Man on Earth played two consecutive free shows at Rontoms last night, with a strong contigent of second set fans who yelping at the mention of the first set. The Tallest Man is Kristian Matsson, who is on an international tour that will lead him from the American west [...]
