It’s always great to play with and hang out with the Muddy River Nightmare Band. We’ve known those guys about as long as we’ve been in Portland. Lyle (their drummer) even played guitar in our band before Justin so it was definitely good to see them. We played second and did ok. Not great, not horrible, just ok. The Punk Group was up third and they were spectacular. ‘Fat Girls On Bicycles’ is probably my new favorite song. (“They’re huffing and puffing and riding real slow”) The Pink Swords were last and as good as they were I just could not stay awake enough to properly enjoy their set. They sounded good, I just wish it was about two hours earlier so I could fully appreciate the rock and roll they were offering. Thanks to Sabala’s and the MRNB.
