Kevin Moore collaborates on songs with In Progress
More news from Kevin Moore (Chroma Key, OSI, ex-Dream Theater) brought to us from The Mooreatorium…
Experimental rockers In Progress announced that Moore has collaborated with the band on three songs slated to appear on its forthcoming EP, North Athlantic Echoes. The collaboration materialized last year when In Progress’s keyboardist Jake Rosenberg – who is among the fans credited in Moore’s Shine album – reached out to Moore through his Kickstarter webpage and proposed the idea. Moore’s contributions to the three songs include drum programming, backup vocals and additional production.
“We are still doing final tracking on the EP, but are looking to have it completely wrapped, mixed, and mastered by mid-July,” band member John Dillon told The Mooreatorium. “We intend to do a small physical run of copies once we have material/art finalized.”
The band’s debut album, titled Signal Failure, was released in December and features Mark Zonder on drums. Zonder is the former drummer for Fates Warning and also worked with Moore on Chroma Key’s 1998 debut album, Dead Air for Radios.

New Incubus album (is done)
I like Incubus.
Sure, they started as a Mr Bungle wannabe band (Fungus Amongus), and morphed into a Faith No More wannabe band (SCIENCE / Make Yourself), and then morphed into a quite popular mainstream rock band (Morning View/etc), and then their last studio work was mainly instrumental (the CD companion to the Look Alive DVD). Brandon Boyd is a great vocalist (a la MB/FNM’s Mike Patton) plus he’s dreamy (yeah, he’s on my switch team), Mike Einziger is an interesting guitarist/composer (straddling rock and avant-garde), DJ Kilmore brings some flavorful turntablism to the mix, and the rest of the guys hold it down mighty fine… mighty fine, indeed.
This just got posted to their webpage…
The long awaited 6th studio album from Incubus is completed! True to the Incubus legacy, this record is nothing like its predecessor, but still maintains the quintessential Incubus vibe. Stay tuned for more updates from Enjoyincubus.com.
Woot. There are also plans for Pacific Rim touring in 2011, and U.S. tour this summer… per Brandon Boyd’s recent interview on Noisecreep, he believes that the new Incubus album will be out in August or September. No official release date has been announced.
Update 4/1 (not expected as an April Fool’s Day joke):
Incubus sent out an email on 4/1 with a link to a website (http://adolescents.enjoyincubus.com/). The website is merely a splash page with “Adolescents / If Not Now, When? 4/4 6pm PST” on it. Is Adolescents the name of the album? Something else? Check that page on 4/4/11 @ 6pm (PST) to find out…

I plan on catching Maynard, Billy & Co at the Portland gig. They’ve got a new website designed, with a blue, underwater/octopus theme. Here’s hoping some new music is around the corner, too. Also, in the email announcement, they hinted at some Puscifer news coming soon, too.
Puscifer Update 3/23: Per Carina Round’s email: “After that I will be heading into the studio with Maynard James Keenan’s ‘Puscifer’ to work on songs for the next release and rehearse up some goodies for a tour in the Fall.”

RECIPE: Bleu Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits
I’m late on posting this… too busy at work. For last month’s vegetarian supper club in Eugene, we did a snowshoe trip; so the goal was to make something yummy that was also transportable. I opted for…
Bleu Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits
(click for larger)
makes about 8 biscuits
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp coarse salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2/3 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into smaller cubes
- 1 cup crumbled bleu cheese
(you could possibly find a vegan blue cheese variety, but that might be tough) - 1 Tbl chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 Tbl chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup buttermilk (for vegan… see comments section)
- 1 Tbl milk/soy milk/rice milk/etc
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl to blend.
- Add shortening. using fingertips, rub in until coarse crumbs form.
- Mix in 3/4 cup cheese, rosemary and 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme.
- Make well in center. Add 1 cup buttermilk and stir until dough forms, gradually mixing in dry ingredients.
- Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Knead gently until combined, about 5 turns. Pat dough into 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into squares.
- Transfer squares to baking sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon milk/soymilk/ricemilk. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme. Sprinkle with pepper. The biscuits can be prepared 4 hours ahead, just cover & chill until ready to bake.
- Bake biscuits until golden, about 20 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature… or in a warming hut at Gold Lake, Oregon.

REVIEW: The Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile @ McDonald Theatre (Eugene, OR – 3/16/11)
I hadn’t heard the Punch Brothers prior to the show, outside of a few clips on their webpage… but what I did hear, I knew I’d love it. I have also been a fan of frontman Chris Thile’s mandolin work with Nickel Creek; so I knew what to expect from at least his performance.
The show started with a delightful set from local fiddler prodigy Tatiana Hargreaves (backed by Scott Law on guitar). I had seen Tatiana play (with her brother Alex) during Works Progress Administration’s show at the WOW Hall in 2009 – which is a side project from Glen Phillips and Sean & Sara Watkins (from Nickel Creek as well)… so her opening for the Punch Brothers made perfect sense. Her set was a great warm up for what was to come (sorry, no photos came out of Tatiana & Scott, my camera was acting up).
The Punch Brothers went on shortly after Tatiana’s set. No flashy stage set-up or lights, just five guys and their instruments. The Punch Brothers are Chris Thile on mandolin & vocals, Gabe Witcher on fiddle/violin, Noam Pikelny on banjo, Chris Eldridge on guitar, and Paul Kowert on bass. They played a hour and a half or more with a great split between rollicking bluegrass vocal numbers and more stretched out instrumental pieces.
The overall musicianship in the entire group was evident early on. They were a quite tight five piece string band, and the lack of drums was barely noticeable – their use of rhythm duties amongst the strings was more than enough to keep the jammy, progressive instrumental movements rolling along. Since I don’t know their material all that well, I can’t really help out on the setlist front. I know they played “Rye Whiskey,” the Beatles “Paperback Writer,” a stunning mandolin-centric version of Radiohead “Paranoid Android,” and Chris Thile did a riveting Bach piece on solo mandolin.
Also, per Serena from the Register Guard, they covered the Strokes and Josh Ritter as well.
Fantastic show, and I shall get to know their music before they swing through again. Their latest CD is 2010’s Antifogmatic (pictured to the right).

R.I.P. Nate Dogg (1969-2011)
Huffington Post reports:
Nate Dogg is dead, according to a report in his hometown Long Beach Press Telegram, which cited a family announcement.
Friend and collaborator Snoop Dogg appeared to confirm the news by tweeting, “RIP NATE DOGG” and later “We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb. One of my best friends n a brother to me since 1986 when I was a sophomore at poly high where we met.”
TMZ says they have confirmed the report but did not indicate how.
Read the full report and check back for updates.
I dig Nate Dogg. He was the most (unintentionally) funny background star in gangsta rap. His juicy, and completely horribly offensive-yet-gently sung backing lyrics to Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg songs almost always have me in stitches. He will be missed.

Maybe the worst song/music video of all-time…
Do our children have the dumb?
Yes, they have the dumb. Rebecca Black’s “Friday” came out yesterday. Lyrically, it’s not much worse than an AC/DC song (or any other “let’s rock” or “working for the weekend” type song). Sure, it is worse, but not by much. Visually, it’s like Disney broke into a Skittles factory and broke things. My brain hurts so much… I mean, this is far worse than the usual pap music that tweens listen to, right?
Sure, it’s not geared for me. I’m sorry for exposing you to this, but until we face the facts, we can never know, “is our children learning?”
Sidenote… someone needs to edit Thom Yorke dancing to this tune. STAT!
Update 3/18 (Friday)… Matt Mulholland’s version rocks…
The original is dreadful, but this version is kind of fantastically great… still waiting for a Thom Yorke dancing version of the video… come on, folks!

Eugene Beer Week – May 2nd to 8th, 2011
I’m not a “beer blogger” per se. I’m a music blogger, but I’m a homebrewer and dig a good local beer. For Oregonians, this is an event to get excited about…
From May 2nd to May 8th, Eugene Oregon will host its first annual beer week.
Eugene Beer Week will celebrate craft beer culture in the Willamette Valley.
The US craft brewing industry has been growing steadily and cities across the country have been organizing beer celebrations to promote the industry. These beer weeks include a great number of beer tastings, brewers dinners and other events celebrating craft beer. Breweries, retailers, bars, restaurants and beer writers participate in beer weeks by helping bring greater awareness to a region’s craft beers. Cities such as Seattle, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Chicago all boast successful beer weeks.
Eugene Beer Week’s objective is to bring a greater awareness of craft beer in the Willamette Valley. They aim to accomplish this goal by providing a website that beer drinkers can peruse and locate beer related events taking place during the week. Eugenebeerweek.org will also provide a forum for businesses to promote their beer week efforts. Eugene Beer Week culminates with the Sasquatch Beer Festival that celebrates the life of one of Eugene’s former brewers, Glen Falconer.
What’s in store?
- Beer Dinners – Special dinners featuring a beer or several beer paired courses
- Beer Releases – Release celebration celebrating a new beer
- Festivals – Craft beer festivals
- Tastings – Special tastings of craft beers
- How to Brew/Taste/Enjoy – demonstrations and informational classes
For more information visit eugenebeerweek.org (or Facebook and Twitter below). Stay tuned for some great events around town.

REVIEW: Kaki King @ WOW Hall (Eugene, OR – 3/9/11)
FYI… PHOTOS of the SHOW at the BOTTOM
Kaki King burst into the music scene in 2003 with her exquisite fretwork and primarily instrumental pieces. “Playing With Pink Noise” (from 2004’s Legs to Make Us Longer) thrust her more in the indie rock spotlight, showcasing a guitar that she played as if it were trying to run away from her. The video for “Pink Noise” was simply a white backdrop with Kaki effortlessly plucking and slapping away among randomly timed pink rose petals and balloons. It helped land her hands on the silver screen — as the up-close guitar “stunt double” for Freddie Highmore, who played a guitar prodigy in 2007’s August Rush. Later that year, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her score for Sean Penn’s Into the Wild (alongside Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder).
With her fifth album, Junior, a more mature songwriter has emerged. She still brings the famous fretwork to her songs, but Junior brings vocals more to the fore. Kaki woos us with the subtle and intricate pop of “Spit It Back In My Mouth,” the drive of “Falling Day,” the indie pop feel of “Communist Friends” and the hard rock of “Death Head.” The vulnerable and heartfelt “Sunnyside” brings the album to a close and shows off her more personal side. Kaki King is for fans of the indie rock of Sleater-Kinney and Tegan & Sara, or for those who like a bit more virtuoso musicianship mixed in with their lush pop melodies.
Kaki came through Eugene last May, and blew us away with her rockin’ band. For this go-round, it was just going to be her and her guitar. Or, shall I say… guitars… this is dubbed her “Guitar Traveling Freak Show” tour…
kaki king’s “band” on this tour
Before Kaki hit the stage, Washington went on. (Megan) Washington is an Australian singer-songwriter, who I hear is quite popular down under. She actually started her set with a joke about an odd fellow from Arcata, CA, who brandished a sword in front of her the day prior. She told us that she normally plays guitar, but due to obvious reasons wouldn’t be tonight. Her sound reminded me of a slightly grittier Regina Spektor (specifically from a vocal side of things). She definitely had some songwriting chops. She played about an hour… sometimes dreamy piano pop, sometimes more sullen indie rock. She didn’t have anything to sell us (no shirt, CDs, etc)… probably too difficult to manage hauling it to this hemisphere. I’d recommend checking out her records, especially How to Tame Lions and I Believe You Liar.
Kaki hit the stage at 8:30pm for this early show. She played almost entirely an instrumental set… with vocals only on “Life Being” and “Communist” (if I remember correctly). She switched between her trusty six string, a smaller than usual 12-string (Irish?), a banjo-guitar hybrid, an interestingly “koto”-style modified bridge guitar, a harp guitar, and probably a few I’m missing.
Setlist: about 90 minutes
- Bone Chaos in the Castle
- I Need A Girl Who Knows A Map
- Doing the Wrong Thing
- unidentified… possibly “Ingots”
- Life Being What It Is
- Playing With Pink Noise
- unidentified… possibly “Carmine St”
- My Girl the Horse [Fences]
- Andecy [Andrew York]
- Because It’s There [Michael Hedges]
- Nails
- unidentified… possibly “Magazine”
- unidentified… new song for Megan Washington
- unidentified… possibly “Bowen Island”
- Encore: unidentified… with Dan Brantigan on trumpet
- unidentified… “world premiere” drunk guitar song
- Communist Friends
Kaki is the kind of guitar player that makes non-guitar players want to learn how to play. She’s also the kind of guitar player who makes current guitar players want to throw away their axe. And despite her focused brilliance with her instrument, she has quite a humorous and awkwardly delightful stage presence. She’s charming, she’ll jokingly cuss the audience out, and then she’ll be self-deprecating. She’ll act playful and humble, and then she’ll smoke the 6 to 12 strings in front of her without much trouble. There’s no doubt that she belongs on stage and that you belong watching her.

Help Japan earthquake victims!
If you have the means to help the victims of the Japanese earthquake and subsequent tsunami, please do so. At this stage, donations of money is likely the best way to help those in need. Make sure you are giving to a reputable charity. In times of need, wolves come out. I’d recommend a well-known, global charity such as the Red Cross.
http://www.redcross.org/
Related sidenote: The sludge metal band The Melvins played Australia & New Zealand and a serious earthquake hit. They are now in Japan. Please donate to the Red Cross and the Stop the Melvins from Bringing Earthquakes Fund. This band must be stopped… before it’s too late.
~Dan
PS- just kidding about the dangers of the Melvins, obviously. Long live King Buzzo & Co. They are doing well after Quake 2 in about a month. Our thoughts are with the victims’ families and those displaced in Australia, New Zealand and Japan in these disasters.

The Nonesuch Records PR on Mr Greenwood…
Jonny Greenwood, while perhaps best known for his role as guitarist/multi-instrumentalist in the rock band Radiohead, was trained as violist, Greenwood had begun studies in music at Oxford University before leaving to concentrate full-time on touring and recording with Radiohead. Nonetheless, Greenwood has maintained a passion for classical music that began at least since his teens, particularly the work of French composer Olivier Messiaen. Since the early 2000s, and particularly in 2004 when he received his BBC appointment, Greenwood has slowly been building a body of work in the classical tradition, for groups ranging from string quartet to full orchestra.
