Local filmmaker Tim Cash is making music videos all over the world these days, including a piece for Brian Lee that took him all the way to Korea. But the man behind Far From Earth Films isn’t above helping out our local music scene.
So yeah, that Built to Spill show at the Domino Room last night easily hopped into my top five shows of the year list and I’m now endlessly obsessed with the guitar work of Doug Martsch after having forgotten its majesty during my two-and-a-half-year hiatus from seeing the band live.
If you were there, you saw the band crank out favorites from across their discography, including standbys like “Car” and “Distopian Dream Girl” and material from the latest BTS studio record, There is No Enemy.
As is their wont, Colorado next-generation bluegrass band Head For The Hills, is returning to Bend for yet another show on Saturday night at Silver Moon Brewing.
Knowing that they’ve got plenty of fans in this region, the band is giving away some tickets to the show, right on this very blog! Want to win? Thought so.
After a long month of waiting, I’m happy to announce that the Built to Spill show at the Domino Room is finally here, which makes me feel a bit tingly — I haven’t been this stoked for show in a long while.
The band, which includes guitar god and production sorcerer Doug Martsch, released There is No Enemy a little over a year ago and have been touring steadily since.
After almost ten long months in television exile, Conan O’Brien returned to late-night television last night with the debut of his new hour-long TBS show, aptly titled, Conan.
The show is, for the most part, identical to his old Late Night show, and that’s totally fine by me.
The third qualifying round of Central Oregon’s Last Comic Standing is tonight at the Old Stone Church (8pm, $5, 21 and up) and guess what? I’m hosting it!
That means I’ll be up there saying things like “Who’s ready to laugh?” and “You know what I hate about airplane food?” and other HILARIOUS phrases before the far more hilarious local comics take the stage for five minute sets in the hope of making it onto the next rounds and a shot at the $5,000 in prizes.
On stage tonight will be Stan Whitton, Max Guinn, Shane Coffey, Steve Unbankes, Mishal Khan, Jake Woodmansee, Kelly Edwards, Danny Yarborough, Stephanie Lester and Dakota Faxon.
After you’ve got your fill of art walk around downtown Bend and the Old Mill District tonight and laughed your face off at Central Oregon’s Last Comic Standing, head over to the Silver Moon, that is, if you want to dance.
The Chicago Afrobeat Collective will be on hand, all eight of them, and will pump out some tracks that will rattle the walls of the cozy Greenwood Ave.
Tonight at the Domino Room, you can continue on with your Halloween weirdness by attending/participating in the Yard Dogs Road Show. The rock and roll hobo variety show has a little of something for everyone, or at least people who enjoy bizarre music and stage tricks.
If you’re looking for a book to read, which you probably should be, considering the onslaught of crappy weather rumored to be on the way soon, the Deschutes Public Library has a suggestion, and it’s the title they’ve picked for their Novel Idea Program: Kapitoil by Teddy Wayne.
Some 5,500 county residents participate in the community literary event each year, according to the DPL.
On Friday evening, I paraded around downtown Bend with a group of folks in search of haunted buildings. It wasn’t one of those night-vision investigations, but rather the Des Chutes Historical Society’s tour of haunted buildings.
