I Won't Be Attending But...


If you haven't already made your Friday evening plans for this week, you really should consider heading over to McMenamins Mission Theatre for a performance from The Minus 5. Scott McCaughey, guitarist for R.E.M., leads a rotating cast of talented Northwest musicians, including the "other" guitarist from R.E.M., Mr. Peter Buck, who plays bass in The Minus 5.

I had the opportunity to interview Scott last April when he played as part of an amazing line-up of The Dimes, The Heavenly States, and his own band. Scott is a great guy, a huge fan of baseball, and just finished a world-wide tour with R.E.M. You can check out the interview here.

The concert celebrates the relaunch of NoDepression.com and also features the band Weinland. More info about the show can be found here.

I will not be at the Mission that night as I will be with my good friend, Leslie, hanging with Wow & Flutter before their show at the Towne Lounge. More info from that adventure to follow...
