So Ally and I had a really nice anniversary trip. We went to Portland OR, walked around downtown most of the day Saturday. We happened to be walking past Jackpot Records, and saw a bad was set up and just about to play. We asked a guy watching through the window who they were. “Red Fang, man.” was the response. The store was completely packed. Definitely not meeting fire code.
They rocked hard. They crunched out some beautiful metal, with really skillful lead guitar. Couldn’t make out any of the lyrics through the glass. Didn’t seem too important to me. There was a 5 or 6 year old kid with substantial ear protection on his dad’s shoulders, loving it. It gave me hope for the future of rock and roll.
It took me back to the good old days in the early 90′s in Seattle. Very nice experience.
