One of the heaviest loudest bands I’ve ever seen live. Like Hella and Transam and 80s action movie soundtracks. Very riff based and plodding. Music for driving a Mach truck into a volcano. Listen here.
Just as a bonus here are some kaleidoscopes based on the text at the bottom, which was very fun to draw. 
Paleons play huge thundering spacey post rock! Shimmering, shattering, convalescing, coalescing, brobdignian riffs! They have an analog synth player! I often can’t hear what he’s doing under the volume of the cymbals and the huge guitar amps but… the gear is cool.
This goofy punk folk band from Eugene puts on a hell of a party. The addition of cello and accordion are appreciated. They busk and play in parties and local bars. Can you tell this is three pieces of paper? He he he
There was a fun piano pop show in downtown Eugene with two talented pianists.
Vendana Shiva is a controversial figure. Her stance against GMOs has received a lot of criticism but I appreciated some of the things she said, such that we could boycott Coke a Cola to send a message! The corporations are merging, giving us fewer targets to oppose! Her scarf looked totally cool and was a fun challenge to draw.
Here is a fun project you can do at home with kids: printing with fruit.
We painted with tempura and watercolor paints on to a piece of cut fruit, we used strawberries, bananas, oranges, star fruit, a lime and an onion. We found that limes and starfruits worked the best.
Makes cool wrapping paper
You can even make a landscape, as one enterprising young student did.
This band has a new Cellist! Julian Kosanovic, who also plays in Portland Cello Project! I played with them at the Eugene Cider Festival and they are playing November 17 at the Doug Fir with Three for Silver!
I made some kaleidoscopes out of my drawing. They look so trippy and cool! 
A hot mess of a band in every possible way. The Elvis like vocals, sexually charged lyrics and full lush sound (with three back up singers) make this a genuine and passionate party band.
This drawing is less cartoony and in the “rotoscope” style. With moody lighting!
This is one of the greatest living garage rock bands. Their heavy bluesy rock hits the spot every time. Listen here. Nathan trueb and co bring it every time.
I drew portraits at the Sheldon mc Murphy house for halloweeen tea.
Whoops. I drew this a year ago and never posted it. Great band. Saw them in Austin, tx once, and once in Eugene playing with Tacocat. check her out here.
