Human Nature – Tribal Spectrum

Tribal Spectrum

*Sam (left)  Greg (right) {See Picture Above}

“How do you describe your sound? It is the hardest thing in the world to do.”  – Sam “I don’t want to follow other’s sound, and create that kind of music” Sam said [referring to the main-stage aka house music] “as long as we do something other people are not”.   They are staying true to their name and embracing cultures left and right.  Greg shapes the sound with his tight rhythm on the drums and his ‘bangers’ for the nightlife sub-loving ladies from the bay area while Sam stretches their comfort zone into foreign lands such as India, Ireland, and Nepal to name a few.

Listen to how Greg rips up the acoustic drums during their live digital set.  The last 5 minutes exemplify Greg’s superb drumming. Tribal Spectrum (live 6.12.2012) *Download –> Right Click & Save As

The Nature Stage –

See above photo

A mystery set in the woods at nature stage, by Ekim. With the backdrop of an incredible Oregonian rainforest scene (see above Picture).  Ekim could throw it down to amuse and confuse the crowd simultaneously.  Ekim also knew how to change it up, and he would do so at will, not according to the set list but by what people were getting down to.  With heavy wobbles and Super-Sound speakers taller than the average taller person.  The variety of sound was great and the noise selection was very thought-out and carefully placed in space.

His style was new to me but I almost instantly became a fan and had to dance.   Please contact us on facebook or twitter or e-mail us if you can help us find Ekim’s Music, e-mail, or profile Anywhere, can someone help us!?  Ekim from Human Nature, hello? Where are you on the internet, come find us!

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….

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.

“We like to call our style of music Oregon Greengrass!”

This joyful quartet includes band members: Aslan Sheffler (age 21), Gage Hawke (age 23), Andy Gullickson (age 24), Meg Keefe (age 20).   A young and dedicated band, who has been playing music from an young age. They have much more in store for them in the years to come.  There music and style is evolving with each song expanding their musical terrain.  It was great to meet these nice fellows on campus as they serenaded the passersby.  There is nothing quite like meeting street musicians who’s sound blows you off course and you must stop to enjoy!

WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY! Festival season is upon us.

Blessed with an beautiful weekend in Eugene with blue skies and 80 degree weather, it is only fitting to share with the Freio community the Shangri La of Oregon and the most incredible festival location my barefoot self has experienced.

I present to you… HORNING’S HIDEOUT

Just outside of Portland, Oregon, this venue has it all. It is truly a land of enchantment. Camping in the Oregon hills, sun bathing by the pond, jamming out with the beautiful Doug Firs, nothing is better. If you haven’t experienced the magic behind this special place, make your way this summer! Not only does Horning’s have great festivals, but day use includes fishing, paddle boating, and exploring the mysterious and romantic backwoods. If you’re looking for a TRIP this summer, you know where I’ll be. See you on the other side!!
