If you’re wondering what a Night Ranger is, I won’t blame you. There’s a good chance you’re under 35 years old and/or don’t hang out in a lot of karaoke bars.
This morning, Central Oregon’s Last Band Standing, the local battle of the bands that kicks off next weekend, announced the lineups for each of the seven preliminary rounds. Here’s a shot of all the bands from last night’s kickoff party.
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.
In this week’s paper, there’s a great feature on G. Love, who is playing tonight at the Domino Room beginning at 9pm and the last time I checked, there were still tickets available.
In case you didn’t know, today is April 20. And if you don’t know why that’s a special day for a faction of folks out there, well, we’ll let you in on the secret — it’s a celebration of pot and its smokers.
When I left the house around noon on Saturday afternoon and looked up at the menacing gray clouds overhead, I said something like, “Ohhh boy, I hope it doesn’t rain?”
Anyway, it didn’t rain, which was good, because I saw outdoor live music featuring three of our region’s best acts, in April, in Bend, all freaking day. First, was Empty Space Orchestra’s Record Store Day performance down in the alley behind Ranch Records.
As Ethan mentioned yesterday, today is Record Store Day and our own Ranch Records is celebrating with a surprise, free show from Empty Space Orchestra.
The show is on the Brooks Street side of Ranch at 1pm this afternoon.
We’ve been somewhat vocal in encouraging the entirety of Bend’s workforce to disappear an hour or two early on recent Fridays to get up to Mt. Bachelor’s Pine Parties — the mountain’s 4pm-7pm ski sessions on the Pine Marten chair.
Today has been circled on the calendars of a few hundred (or several hundred) of Bend’s live music fans. The wait is over and roots music fans can finally rejoice because Yonder Mountain String Band is in town tonight at the Midtown Ballroom.
A body that washed up earlier this month near the mouth of the Columbia River is that of a Bend native who disappeared after being washed out to sea last month by the Japanese tsunami.
The state forensic examiner has identified the body found April 2 in Fort Stevens Park as that of Dustin Douglas Weber, 25.
