The Lonely Forest on Tour!
The Lonely Forest started up a west coast tour this past Monday and I got to hit up three of their shows. The first was at Western Washington University’s Viking Union, the second was at Portland State University, and the third was at a club in Portland called Studio 415. They were all good shows although definitely had their quirks. The two shows at the universities were fun, but WAY too short. It was enough to get people interested so they would hopefully check out more of their stuff. The show at Studio 415 was awesome because it was a small group (well, I suppose they would have liked it better if it was a large group) and they were the only band playing. The sucky think was the audio guy that worked there apparently had no idea what he was doing because they couldn’t get the monitors working well for about 45 minutes. And two times during the show John’s mic stopped working. Cool venue if they could only get their act together. Regardless of that, they music was awesome and intense and the guys just seemed to be having fun.
Be sure to check out my Lonely Forest page for lots of info, pics, video clips, etc. from the Lonely Forest. AND stop by The Lonely Forest’s MySpace page for their tour dates. If you are in California, definitely stop by so you can catch a show.
[UPDATE] You can now purchase tickets to two of the Lonely Forest’s shows at their MySpace Page to purchase them via paypal for a discounted price. The two shows: October 19th, 8:30 @ San Francisco’s Red Devil Lounge!! October 24th, 7:15-8:00 @ Las Angeles’ legendary Troubadour!! These will be two great shows at two amazing venues down in CA! [/UPDATE]
The video clips I will add to this post when I get back home to Bellingham and get a chance to edit them [UPDATE II: they have been added below]. A bunch of the pictures I took have been added to my Flickr photostream in various sets: All of the pictures can be found in the set The Lonely Forest on Tour! The three shows also have their own sets: Lonely Forest @ Studio 415, Lonely Forest @ PSU, and Lonely Forest @ WWU. I have also posted a few of the pics below, clicking the image will take you to its flickr page.
[UPDATE II: 9 Videos added!]
All the video clips have been added to my Lonely Forest YouTube Playlist if you would rather view them there. Please Note: LARGE FILES.

These first four pics are funny because all four guys have their faces obsecured by their hair.
When the incompetent sound guy was (sort of) trying to fix things when John’s mic went out, they had a party on stage so everyone could rock out. Really, that guy had no idea what was going on.
