So I somehow heard one of Nico Vegas songs and decided to look them up. Found some vids on youtube and really liked their energy. Did some more digging and found that they were going to be having a concert, so I hit up some friends to see if they'd want to go, and they did. While at the show we found out that Aja's parents were in the audience, and then I realized she was from Eugene.. Portland, ok, I can't remember exactly, but she's a local girl, pretty cool. Here are some pics, a vid that I'm kickin' myself for cutting too short.

2nd Act: Nico Vega. Sound guy woke up, and their set was fantastic. I love it when bands sound as clean as they do on their polished CDs.

I love this lady

3rd Act: The Von Bondies. Sound guy fell asleep again.. or went into a allergenic coma. They kept asking for clearer vocals, to know avail.

Telling a story about Yogi and Boo Boo shutting down Yellow Stone, and they missed one of their shows.

And then how they slid off the road due to snow and their drummer pushing them farther in, in another car.
