ran OlyMusic.com from 2002-2008, and blogged about musical experiences in and around Olympia, WA.
Went to Tacoma to Hell's Kitchen and heard Scream Kamp, also A-Kamp and Scream Club and the Biznautics. That was on 4/20. It was a great show. Carpooled home with Pizza T and one of those Subliminal characters, Matt I believe. All the music was tight. It was historical moment to see and hear two amazing bands come together in this way. On MayDay in Heritage Park (Camp Rachel Area), there was a great group of folks making a square dance, nice trumpet and drumming and jamming throughout the day emanating from the folks. Caught a strange scene at Java Flow that night related to misunderstandings of communications regarding money. Arts Walk evening caught a show at the Track House with the Female Hip Hop Alliance FHHA, Joey Casio, some others - all in all felt good and danceable. They played on the roof 'til police showed up. IT was terrific really. A good thing to experience. Last night, heard Human Shield at Le Voyeur. It was heavy. With enough volume to make my ears still ring and incomprehensible lyrics. Jeremy, Matt and Lars. I asked Lars later what he was singing about, and it was completely crucial stuff, so I'm glad it's in my subconscious like that. Rock on everybody! I may be back later to make some hyperlinks out of things in this post, but in the meantime, you can find most things referenced here somewhere on the site. Peace.
