ran OlyMusic.com from 2002-2008, and blogged about musical experiences in and around Olympia, WA.
Last night I saw/heard 3 bands that all made me dance at Speed Limit 35. I caught the end of Archibald Tuttle - really the last 2 minutes of their set from the lobby/lounge when I got there. It sounded familiar, and quite rockin'. Then there was
OGGATRON. They amazed me. GREG plays guitar with 2 strings. Sounded like a low pitched and a high pitched, and it sounded really good. They got me dancin. JEROMY played his new double bass pedal with gusto, expecially when one of GREG's strings broke, and he patched it up on the fly. I like that PUMPKIN BOLWING. They are a little scary with the screaming, but in a somewhat friendly way. After a bit of time,
Breaker Breaker came on, and had me dancing so that when they were done playing I slid down the wall into a pool of my dance sweat. They were good. Last up was the bad dudes. They played well. I remember enjoying it. I think that guy with the wine and dave matthews thing going on at the first Speed Limit 35 show actually had Perrish on the back of his jacket, or it might have been Parrish. That guy should/could start a label or something.
