Busy weekend

There is a lot going on this weekend.  Starting tonight with the crabwalk which was the previous posting.  But as a reminder the Crabwalk is tonight April 21st THURSDAY at the Peace and Justice Center. 

FRIDAY-April 22nd... eh, i am sure that there is a lot going on and i along with you and others will find something interesting or at least a bit fun.

SATURDAY- April 23rd-  I have been waiting on this for a while now.   Prison of Sound will be playing at the Blackbird Buvette, with Gregg Turner doing his solo acoustic set, and Night//Terrain.  An odd mix, of AmRep style Noise Rock, a solo acoustic set, and a heavy doom band.  Being only a few days after the crabwalk, the mix of genres should go rather well.  And for those of you wondering why i am hyping this show- I am in Prison of Sound as well.

Then for you grind heads
SUNDAY - April 24th  Some might call it easter i think.


Violence of Humanity will be playing with locals Laughing Dog, and Brainrot.
Violence of Humanity- Grind from Portland, Features members of Transient, who some of you might remember from their show with Elitist,  at the PandJ a few months ago.  They will be playing with local grindveteranos Laughing Dog, as well as our introduction to Brainrot.  I got my first taste of them last night while listening to KUNM overnight freeform.  Chaotic and eloquent Noise-Rock. Starts at 8 and is a loose $5.  All Ages.

3rd not-really-annual CRABWALK. April 21 Thurs.

A Night of All Local Sounds (from several genres)
Free but donations welcome

Crabwalks gather a bunch of diverse bands (usually 5, mostly local) into a space where they can all set up at once, then play in round-robin (usually pentagram) fashion, one after another & back around again. The audience is at the center of this vortex, and the resultant energy builds in a really fun way. Often the bands join together for a massive improv by the end of it. Crabwalks always leave me feeling great about the local music scene. They’re also often the source of new connections & goodwill between disparate scenes & individuals. So that’s what a Crabwalk show is, and this one looks to be no different.
Featuring:
-Chemtrail Pilot (lone-wolf hiphop crew- www.myspace.com/chemtrailpilot)
-Bud Melvin (8-bit hacked Gameboy accompanied by banjo/uke= magic! www.myspace.com/budmelvin & www.budmelvin.com)
