Human Nature '12 – Learning to Adapt

By Leave a Comment

Midnight Thursday June 28th

Today we, Sober Raver and I, learned that it is part of human nature to adapt to one’s environment.  Lesson: as one car breaks down another one lends a wheel.   Our (initial) Plan, was to leave Thursday to attend the Volunteer Orientation sesh, and set up camp.  We were all packed up and ready, just need to pick up some beer and food, when my car dies enroute, and glides to a stop when gravity permitted.  Power-steering = gone, hazard light = won’t work, engin = dead, progress = halted.  Plan B: Call some friends, jump onto facebook, find a ride share, repack our gear (take less) and make it work.  Success, or so it seems….

We will be posting some recordings from the concert throughout the event.   Stay Tuned~ next (line up & Ekim)

This, my friends, is the jam band of our time. If your looking to seriously get down and send your ears straight to nirvana, Eufórquestra’s summer shows are where you need to be. They bring an unmatched energy and dynamic instrumentation that throws them into the jam band pot with musicians like Phish and String Cheese Incident.

Wanderlust Wednesday…Worth the Drive

By Leave a Comment

As the summer solstice draws nearer, so does the opportunity to catch live music in the heart of Mother Nature herself. So get out your face paint, fill your backpack with a bag of wine, and prep your bare feet for dancin’. Ladies and gents, I present to you the top three outdoor venues worth the drive this summer.

#1: The Gorge, WA

This absolutely breath-taking venue will blow your mind! Inhabiting what seems to be the middle of nowhere Washington, it is as if the music gods bestowed upon man a place to completely immerse oneself in the experience.

Festival Advice: Once you enter the venue from the campground, you can’t re-enter. Pack a backpack with at least three beers and a warm thing (hoodie, sweater, more beers…)

Show not to be missed: Sasquatch Music Festival

 

 

#2: Red Rocks, CO

If you haven’t been to Red Rocks, get yourself there! This acoustical dream of a venue will leave a beautiful energy in you for days. Hike the hill for a free show or buy a ticket and let the sound fill you, body and soul.

Concert Advice: If it looks like rain, don’t let it get you down. Lightning intermingling with the city lights of Denver is unreal! If you don’t want to spend eight bucks for a beer, chug them in the parking lot. Get a designated driver, no camping here…

Shows not to be missed: String Cheese Incident, Blues Traveler on the 4th of July, STS9, Umphrey’s McGee and Railroad Earth, Neil Young, Jack White

 

 

 

 

#3: The Greek Theatre, CA

Located right on the UC Berkley campus, this venue is one of those places that is uniquely special to both the artist and the audience. Being in the heart of a city and still being able to provide a bumpin’ outdoor venue is what makes this theater wonderful.

Concert Advice: Find the best seat possible for dancing.

Shows not to be missed: String Cheese Incident, My Morning Jacket

Mr. RaW

By Leave a Comment

This artist we’re about to profile is a motivated individual, who’s making the necessary moves to prosper in the world of Hip-Hop. A few years ago he packed up shop and moved to LA, where he could further his ambitions as a lyricist and get noticed. Let’s get to know this guy.

Stage Name: Mr.RaW

Birth Name: Taylor Batts

Age: 21

Hometown: Park Hill, Colorado

First instrument: Piano at age 8

Current instrument: Vocals

Genre/style: Hip-Hop

What artists have influenced your sound?

“Artists like 2pac, Rakim, Eminem, Nas, NWA, and Kanye had an impact on me. I don’t really sound like any of these artist but they motivate me to create an original sound just like they did.”

If you could describe your musical style in 3 words, what would you say?

“I wouldn’t need three words, just three letters R a W, it’s all in the name. My goal as an artist is to get better every single day, I’m privileged enough to breath. So I continue to push myself harder and harder to reach my full potential of becoming the RaWest to ever do it. To some it may seem like I am pretty far off, but if they can see where I started and where I am now they would know that goal isn’t to far fetched. My project Rebuild and Recover should help people get more familiar with my passion for music. I do what I do for my city, and I live by the motto that “Rest Is For Billionaires” (Rif.B).”

They classify their music as Electronic, Electronica, House, & Techno.

Here is an intense yet incredibly abstract video that makes you wonder where the future of graphics can even go if people can create this kind of stuff today. Comment and leave your reaction:

PS. put the quality of video up if your internet can handle it, these guys take advantage of HD!

U heard it first HEAR @freioMusic

These two are only 21 and 24 years young, and clearly have a grasp on bonding the visual and audio to create an extraordinary experience delighted two powerful senses. We can’t wait to see what these guys will make in the future. They said: “We try not to stick to a particular genre, we let our fans group us in whatever genre they seem fit.”  Ok, I’ll take a stab at it:  Abstract, electro, digtal, house, strangely symmetrical, visually mind bending, and auditory stimulating.

WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY- Introducing Fox and Woman…

By Leave a Comment

One of the favorite local venues of Eugene, Oregon, Sam Bond’s Garage, was already set in my mind as the place to get down last Friday night. The now Portland-based Water Tower Bucket Boys made their way down I-5 to shake up the town, but there was a little something extra thrown into the bluegrass party. The opener of the night, Fox and Woman, filled the room with a smooth and sultry sound of impeccably blended harmonies. The provoking band name came from a song written by vocalist, Jess Silva, while washing dishes in a San Francisco cafe. She noted the back room provided the, “prime time to space out and write music.” Jess and violinist, keyboardist, vocalist, and co-worker, Emily Haltom, found a creative energy together playing outside bars on the streets of San Fran. After some pretty wild band names and varying members, Emily and Jess added Leo Suarez(cello), Will Boast(drums), and Andrew Paul Nelson (mandolin, guitar ukulele) finally solidifying the band that is known as Fox and Woman. Their music harbors a full bodied melding of rich instrumentation and vocals that soothes the listener into the depths of something that is beautifully captivating. Emily describes their sound as, “electro-alternative folk”.  With the use of peddles for the electric guitar atop acoustic rhythms, their sound is only beginning to transcend genres beyond their indie-folk roots. From playing outside of bars in San Francisco to inside them in Eugene and throughout the Northwest, this band is definitely going great places. Their individual raw talent fuses gracefully together as one unbelievable band. Their live show is not to be missed.

Moris Code

By Leave a Comment

Drew Wood (aka Moris Code): from Billings, Montana, USA

Drew started playing music at age 8, and now plays the piano, keyboard, sings, and mixes using a laptop.  His style represents the fuzion of several genres such as breakbeat, electronic, ambient, and dub.   With an understanding for other’s style, Drew stated, in an interview that his music represents a “personalized musical experience. To each their own, part of the reason why I try to avoid a certain genre. Quite a few different styles are incorporated, [in my music]”.  Clearly an inspired 23 year old, who’s career is on the rise and full of potential.

Moris Code’s Style has a binary feel with an electronic base. Moris Code is always cooking up new tracks. In fact, Moris Code just released a banger, called Nocturnal Soundwaves. This song (which you should listen to below,) has a nice spacious intro with an array of syths and sounds.  Drew, the mastermind behind Moris Code, is mastering his craft with a touch of sensitivity a dabble of classical, and a heavy dose of electronic.  The name ‘Moris Code’ suggests a binary nature with focus on development and spacing over time.  Worth the time: Stop, listen and appreciate.

Wanderlust Wednesday- Ode to New Grass Revival

By Leave a Comment

“Our reason for doing the newer-type music wasn’t pretentious or irreverent or sarcastic or disrespectful,” explained Curtis Burch. “We just felt like people were ready to see that you could really expand the sound, using those same instruments.”

Ah, the sweet sounds of New Grass Revival. The group, formed in 1972 by four former members of the Bluegrass Alliance, brought bluegrass into an entirely different realm. Long hair, everyday clothing, and fresh sound put a new face on traditional country pickin’. Plus, they had the father of bluegrass, Mr. Sam Bush. The progressive group was graced by the presence of not only Sam Bush, but Courtney Johnson, Ebo Walker, Curtis Burch, Butch Robins, John Cowan, Bela Fleck, and Pat Flynn throughout the band’s life. The real reason I wanted to share this get down bluegrass band with you all, however, was for this kick ass video below. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. Plus, they look damn good.
