Jesse played an incredible set that night, along with Carson McWhirter, and Mason Lindahl. These songs are bomb. He has a fully produced album available of the same songs. I suggest you get one. It's hearty as boiled greens

THE MAN DIES Goodfoot
3/10/10. Daniel Morris - bass, vocals, Justin Stimson (bffl) - drums, vocals, Dan O'Hara - guitar, Ezra Reece - violin, keyboard, and vocals, Becki Wolff - sat onstage and drew a beautiful picture which i later framed and is on my wall. maybe soon i will add a photo of it to this post. anyhoo, this is a dope recording with crazy vocals all over it. even the violin became a vocal mic at some point in this very short and concise performance
enjoy!

HYLAND ISLAND the compound
this band is probably named Tatanka, but possibly something else. Joey Hyland - guitar, Andrew Joseph Weaver - bass, David Ross Zeidman - drums, Pete Bryant - saxaphone, and Ezra Reece - keyboard and percussion. Carson Mcwhirter played first with a solo guitar set (3 people in this band were also in Everybody). Some of you may know that this music has been in the works for about a year and has been kept pretty much under wraps. here is the moment we've all been anticipating; the unveiling of the masterpiece, i don't mind saying.
3/19/10
here is a wave file, not zipped. i'm hoping this will eliminate some of the loss associated with this method of filesharing.

WHAT'S UP / CRUISER Alberta Street
It was the last Thursday of June, and the pavement of Alberta street was blanketed by the feet of countless people, all together for this once a month gathering that takes place each last Thursday during the warm season on Alberta. The street was lined with street musicians and artists selling their works. Suddenly, in the middle of the street an electric band had set up. Two electric bands. What's up? and Cruiser. Soon a very diverse crowd had assembled around the bands as they played a very brief set, expecting at any time to be asked to stop by local police. Robby, Teddy, and Brian (What's Up?) started the set, and alternated with Dave and Andy (Cruiser), mostly two songs for two songs. This was devised as sort of a safety net in case the show were to get cut short since there was a new rule of no amplified music outdoors, and ensured both bands would get to play. I had the mics too hot at first, so the recording begins blown out, but cleans up shortly after. This is one of my favorite recordings.

HERE COMES A BIG BLACK CLOUD Camel House
If you want tons of people at your show, share a bill with this band. They roll deep. You might even call them "Here Comes a Big-Ass Crowd". Travis, Nick, Soo, Dain, and Sauce on this recording, I believe. It was the heat of late summer and everyone was sweating in this tiny, unventilated chasm of a basement. .Being situated a mere block or so from Javier's Tacqueria was the reward, and everyone cashed in. After the show, Javier's was as packed as the show was. They should have given the band free tacos.

TINY KNIVES The Salad House
This band. All female. It's like a trip to outer space propelled by a rocket that has been shoved up your ass. Jai from our last post (POP ) is the Singer/guitarist. She is also turning out to be the new great matriarch of rock in Portland. On bass, probably the cutest girl ever, Ursula. Seriously, i can only talk to her for about 30 seconds before i have to run away for fear of fainting and thus embarassing myself. The drummer, I have only met a couple times, she is tougher than goat shit, but as nice as a meadow in may. Her name is Jamey (Vonneguts). This band fills the void left in me ever since Team Dresch stopped performing. That is a very high compliment. Recorded at 'gator sausage' Kevin's birthday party. What a wild party it was.
P.O.P. (Popitilopitilus)
Chelsea, Dane, Joel, Jai, & Shirt. This was in August of '09, Chelsea's farewell performance before she left town. I can describe this band for you in one word. Authentic. if i were to use two words, they would be "ass kickin'". the first time i saw this band, everyone was in costume, there was a bullhorn, a big flag, all kinds of weirdness. At this show and others around this time period, there was no bullhorn, Chelsea had a mic, and costuming was minimal, but every detail was loud and clear. it was a pure stomping of my ass, and ears. so hear you go, download this next time you need your ass whooped by real, authentic punk rock.
