post punk music, art and words
This song gets stuck in my head so much, I finally learned it (sort of) and recorded this (on my iphone). Since then I also learned that it’s the 40th anniversary of singer Ian Curtis’ death. So, in his memory, here’s my version.
Are you a #JoyDivision fan too? Have a favorite JD song, or story? Let us know in the comments!
We got the rad van, the route’s set, new swag is ordered, and we’re finalizing our set list for this short, sharp PNW tour. We’re so stoked to connect with new and old friends, at new and old venues! Check out the details below. If you’re on the loop, please come and see us!! Make sure to grab some tshirts and cd’s, to prove you were there. Your friends will be jealous, and it will help us keep the van on the road at the same time. #winning Many thanks to you!!

Been meaning to do this for a long time. Alrighty then!
In order of most recent introduction:
These kids have it dialed. Watch out , they are polished, garagey, and comin at ya! Weezer meets Metric.
Whoa. Hailing from Missoula, MT, these cats will make ya go “hmm?” and spend the next hour of your life happily glued to their original rock mastery. Neutral Milk Hotel meets Primus? Nuts!
Ok, disclaimer: there are other “coldfire” entities out there to confuse you. This is the indie rock music one, from Eugene!
Crazy indie-punk/new wave rockers who get hotter and hotter with every song in their set! Talking Heads meets Pearl Jam! Just, good!
What’s in the water up in Missoula, MT? (Oh, probably just…pure water) Bass chords and sweet female/male vocal trades = tight indie rock-ness all over the place! the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Yeah!
Holy Mama Cass, Beth Ditto! Samantha got pipes and she knows how to use them! Her band more than holds it down, too, featuring an Underling amidst the Soothesayer crew. F-u-n ass shaking 60’s style punk!
This is but a small sample of the bands rockin’ our town on a weekly basis. Gonna try to keep the list goin’, cuz indie rock is a labor of ❤️. So check these bands out and give ’em some!
Aren’t we lucky here in the Eug?
