Collecting Spoons
I'm Down [DEMO] by The Spoon Collectors
So this may have been a while ago but, I went to the Bald Faced Stag and wrote this afterwards.
Wow, you guys get updated really fast hey? No. Well fuck you this is my blog.
The Bald Faced Stag is kind of like the that big eyed lemur in youtube videos. It's there. You want to see it but, it's just that little bit creepy lookin'.
Although with the Stag it's more the old men and the intrusive snooker players that's way creepy.
On the plus side there's bands.
I went to see JMC band The Spoon Collectors at a mates request. With a set totalling two songs I was mother fuckin' making SURE it was going to be a good night. I paid my tenner and entered the two thirds full room. The crowd was an eclectic mix of pop-tarts, hipsters and anything-core kids.
With nothing much happening on stage or just nothing interesting it was off to socialise.
Two angry hobos on and a broken table later and I was back inside.
The Spoon Collectors entered onstage to an attempted uproar of applause (Nice try kids). They started off with single 'Down'. I wasn't expecting much from them but, fuck man, these guys came together like Motley Crue and mullets.
They all rocked out simultaneously, the type of rocking out that comes from knowing you're good. And I accepted that because yes, they're good. They're style of prog-rock is new and I can't think of a band to relate them to... Maybe that's a good thing though.
The second song "carnival" started in a merry go round of crazy guitar riffs. Not as catchy as 'Down' if you don't count the start off riff but, a follow up song that shows the band has something.
They finished with a modest speech thanking organisers and bands. I noted that I wasn't thanked and therefore found that it was time to storm home in a huff or more likely finish my drink and head off to a party.
So yeah. They're good. You can check them out here.

Barn Owl
I hate it when you find out about a band and you find out that they don't have the means nor do you for that matter to go see them. Damn you scientists! Where's my Jetsons travel machine?! It's 2010 and I still have to catch a plane. BOOOOOO!
Anyways. I'm doing this to you all. Welcome to band you're possibly going to get cranky that you can't go see:
Barn Owl
The Last Parade by Barn Owl
Suck it. Feel my pain bitches because these guys are wicked.

Orca Team
The Orca Team may well be my favourite Portland band. To be fair it's not a huge win. I don't know where my favourite bands are situated. But, it's still a win... unless Interpol are in Portland? No? Well Orca Team still win.
That being said, they sound dreamy.
See?
Why am I so good to you guys? Givin' you heads up on cute shit, finding you free stuff... doin' your mum... heh. No.
Anyhoo. They're on... nope. Nope, no info on their label...just says 'indie'. I'm assuming that's independent and unsigned. Woo. Screw the man Orca Team. SCREW. THE. MAN.
Just kidding. ORCA TEAM guys! ORCA Team.
I'm not really going anywhere with this. I just can't seem to finish. BLAHHH!
-Fin-
