I enjoyed this woman’s songs and bird like voice. Look her up on Spotify or her website here.

Yogoman burning band
Yogoman is from Bellingham Washington and I love them! Sweet ska and soul, with a violin! New Orleans style riddims! My favorite song is “Chakka chakka.” It’s so catchy and poppy!
Watch them play “Pass the O.” Songs like “Please oh please” sound thirty or forty years old, authentic reggae. Total booty shaking music. I caught them at the Oregon Country Fair and what a sweet smooth sound they have.
Rundown Kreeps
This young punk band played Old Nicks and kicked some ass. They played some tv themes and shed some ska rythyms in a few songs. Their bandcamp posts songs free. Check them out if you like nofx, mellincolin, less than Jake, etc.
Pancho and the Factory, Laura Palmer’s Death Parade
PAncho and the Factory are a fun, Eugene based, party band at hifi lounge! They have a real B-52s meets Rocky Horror Picture Show vibe, with makeup and decorations and sexy songs! Check them out here!
Highly recommended!
Their opener was doom country Velvet Underground-esque Laura Palmer’s Death Parade. There are many bands in Austin, Texas that sound like this, including Cold Dead Space, and Ringo Death Star.
I spelled her name wrong. Oops! Always look at the flyer! I also performed comedy reading my comics, and we had burlesque and circus performances by Josephine DeLove, Invincible Vince, and Jon Deline. Thanks Hi-Fi Lounge for a fantastic show, let’s do it again sometime!
Abalone Grey
This Santa Cruz bluegrass folk band passed through Cottage Grove and played us some tunes. Joe Kaplow’s solo music is great too, but this was a full band, with washboard, harmonica, bass guitar and banjo.
Childspeak, Fortune’s Folly, Kef, Era Coda
I have been so busy and not posting my drawings, or even coloring them! Here are a few I made recently, as in last month. Childspeak play post rock spazzy wacky fuzz and are never boring or predictable!
Kef play Balkan music! Alternative brass bands are in! Rebirth, galactic, Balkan beat box, and Slavic soul party are popular but there are many more all over the United States. Some of them gather on the west coast for HONK and Yonk fest.
Beast of Eden
Beast of Eden play dark rockabilly rock and roll. They performed alongside burlesque dancers at Old Nick’s!
Allen Giardinelli
This gentleman really knows his way around a fretboard. He plays gypsy jazz and brings in some delta blues now and again. With Sarah as his accompanist, they played some fantastic jazz and instrumental Beatles songs at the local drink and draw at Sam Bonds Brewing. Listen to his fast, adroit, sensual sting massage and rhythm alchemy here!
Luisa & os Alquimistas
I got to catch a live reggae band in a club in natal. Their music is on Spotify if you search for them. They didn’t have a live drummer, but a dj and they made the crowd dance with lyrics in Portuguese and English. Check them out!
