Night Ranger’s Ridiculously Awesome Music Video

In 1984, music videos were incredibly literal. Especially Night Ranger’s “Sister Christian.”

Tomorrow night a band called Night Ranger is playing at Troy Field (that park next to McMenamins that people think is a dog park but actually isn’t) and it’s for free.
Who is Night Ranger? They’re the band that sang “Sister Christian” of course! They’re also the band behind one of the most bizarre music videos of all time.

Freedom Ride Videos and Photos

A look at the 2011 Freedom Ride in Bend, Oregon.

If you didn’t see it, you almost certainly heard about it by now. I’m talking about Monday’s Freedom Ride, the annual DIY (and not recognized by the city) bike parade that has grown into one of Bend’s great Fourth of July traditions.

Dumpstaphunk Video From Bite of Bend

Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk enthralls the Bite of Bend audience.

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.

A Drive Through Bend in 1967

This is what Bend, Oregon looked like back in 1962.

This video has been circulating over the past few days and it’s pretty remarkable. Originally shot on 8mm film, the short video takes us through town, showing off the startling changes the city has undergone in the past 44 years.

Cinco de Mayo Video from Last Night: Ozomatli, Rubblebucket, Haaby

Video of last night’s insanity with Ozomatli in downtown Bend.

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.

I May Have Seen a Baby Sasquatch

Is this a video of a baby sasquatch?

I’ve been debating whether or not to release the following video — wondering if it would forever alter the course of zoology as we know it — ever since I captured the images last weekend while enjoying the Record Store Day celebration behind Ranch Records.
But then I realized that this is almost certainly NOT a baby Sasquatch (I think it’s wearing Air Jordans) as I’d previously believed.

Video from Thursday Night’s G. Love Show

What you missed if you texted your way through the G. Love and Special Sauce show last night.

Dear guy in front of me at last night’s G. Love and Special Sauce/Belle Brigade show,
I’ve posted some videos on this site for you to check out because, as far as I can tell, you didn’t see much, if any, of the show at a sold-out Domino Room last night because you were texting throughout the whole show, only taking a break between songs to backpedal into me and shout either “Git er done!” or “Uh, winning!” toward the ceiling.
