Video

I was just taking a look at the new Brett Dennen video for his song “Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog)” and all of the sudden was all like, “Whoa, I think I just spotted someone I know!”
That’s because parts of the video were filmed at Dennen’s early June show at the Athletic Club of Bend, which is pretty cool. Even cooler is that the video was directed by Bend’s own Ben Moon!
Here’s the video.

I just came across this new video for Larry and His Flask’s “Call it What You Will” (off their amazing new album — but it now) and figured I should share it. After all, this is the Summer of the Flask, as I’m calling it, seeing as how the band is tearing it up on the Warped Tour and getting bigger than ever.

I would guess that there were at least a few Bent Blog readers down at the Bite of Bend on Saturday night to see the thunderously funky set from Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk.
The New Orleans band’s set struck me as one of the most impressive shows — especially free shows — I’ve seen in Bend in a long while.

Last night the summer concert season kicked off at the Les Schwab Amphitheater with music from Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes and Jenny and Johnny. Needless to say, the show was awesome.

How’s everyone feeling today? Judging from the explosion of revelry downtown last night for the Amalia’s street party featuring Ozomatli, Rubblebucket and Todd Haaby, I’m guessing there’s a few people moving a little slow.
But it was worth it, right? The party, which culminated with an insanely packed crowd freaking out to Ozomatli, was one of the craziest (and coolest) things I’ve seen during my time in Bend.
