On Friday I wrote about the fact that Band of Horses are coming to the Les Schwab Amphitheater on May 30, prompting at least one reader to complain about that band’s lack of guitar solos. I also stated that info on an opening act would be coming soon.
Yeah, I had to read that headline a couple times myself before believing it myself, but yes, indeed, Band of Horses, the massive-sounding rock band now located in South Carolina, are coming to Bend on May 30.
The announcement came by way of a Twitter post from the Old Mill District yesterday.
Given that it’s become one of Bend’s most visited live music venues, it’s fitting that the Silver Moon now has upped it’s in-house sound system.
I’m hardly an audio guru, and for the most part don’t complain about a venue’s sound during a show — unless it’s unavoidable — but from what the venue had to say in a press release yesterday, it sounds like a major improvement.
In case you’re not the sort of person who hounds the In Touch website, you may not have heard about part-time Central Oregon resident Matthew Fox allegedly having a two-time affair with one of the professional, err, dancers at Stars Cabaret here in Bend.
The In Touch story tells about how Fox (who is married) met the dancer, 25-year-old Stefani Talbott, after receiving four “private dances” from her and then inviting her back to the place where he was staying “with his entourage.
It’s almost spring here in the glorious highlands of Central Oregon, which means that if you’re a lover of live music, it’s time to start praying for some big news to come out of the folks at the Les Schwab Amphitheater.
We already knew that Merle Haggard would be diverting his tour away from the steady string of casinos it’s scheduled for to arrive on the LSA stage come June 20, but now it’s been confirmed that another classic name is on the summer concert lineup.
If you were in Bend on Saturday night there were plenty of options for entertainment. Roller derby, people beating the crap out of each other, ska music, rock music; you name it, it was going on in town on Saturday.
In the event that you’re habitually are slow on the uptake when it comes to facial-hair-related news, the Beard Team USA National Beard and Moustache Championships are taking place in Bend this year.
In advance of the Championships, which are slated for June 5 at the Les Schwab Amphitheater during the Balloons over Bend festival, the founder (and “self-appointed captain”) of Beard Team USA, Phil Olsen and two-time defending Natural Full Beard World Champion Jack Passion stopped into the Source offices yesterday to chat about the event.
The Source Weekly’s calendar editor/video magician Anne Pick took all the largely cattywompus video I shot during the three days of Bend WinterFest last weekend and quilted it into a nice little documentary.
Take a look and relive the joy that was WinterFest.
I arrived at McMenamins Old St. Francis School last night and quickly discovered that there were a couple hundred other people who also thought it clever to take in a free show from Blue Turtle Seduction.
Blue Turtle Seduction won’t leave Bend alone. By our count, tonight’s free show at McMenamins Old St.
