Deep Underground

It's like I'm staring back at my old self, the self that left me with the consequences that still weigh me down to this very day.

Wednesday night, I got to see one of my current favorite bands, Portland natives Rare Monk. Over summer I had gone to see a friend's band play a show which Rare Monk was also on. I'd never heard of Rare Monk before, but once I saw them setting up and bring out an electric violin, I knew it was going to be good. And boy, was I right. I fell in love with the ethereal and slightly galactic psychedelic rock immediately. Not to mention, they're extremely kind and grateful guys. Today they debuted their music video "Underground" which you can check out here.

They also have all their albums up for free download on their BandCamp should you fall in love as quickly as I have. 

Here's their video for "Shoot Me Down"

Enjoy!

Fierce Creatures' Catacomb Party!

Last night was an incredible night for the Fresno community. Fresno locals, Fierce Creatures, had their huge CD release, known as the Catacomb Party, in downtown Fresno's Fulton Mall. It was a huge community event, and events like this haven't been seen here at Fulton Mall since the sixties. The turnout was amazing. Loads of great bands played, and so many different companies came out to support and sponsor. Food trucks, Fresno Brewing Company, Dusty Buns Bistro, and so much more. Seriously, last night made me overwhelmingly proud to be a Fresnan. The sense of community and the insane amount of talent last night was something indescribable. Check out KMPH's news bit on it here. Seriously thanks so much to Religious Appeal and Fierce Creatures for putting this event together.

Here's some instagram shots from the night!

Seriously though, I miss this band like no other. So glad I got to see them once something like six years ago. Sheesh. That makes me feel old.
