A place for stoner, doom, heavy blues, psych and just good rock n roll.

To be clear, drugs have nothing to do with the music. For now, ‘stoner rock’ is whatever music (made by humans) that you think it is.

Concerts! That’s what its all about, right? Let's hear about concerts you’ve been to or tours coming up and ongoing. Expect some regular On Tour Now threads, or start your own.

We are going to do a few interviews. Gotta get a better mic and a plan together first. But if there’s any interest in interviews, let us know!

Bands need money (and usually a shower too.) If you can, include a place to buy whatever music you post, perhaps bandcamp or the band label's site.
Really, the best thing you can do to get money directly to the bands is go to a show and buy their merch.

Be nice, or at least marginally polite. We are here to share music.

Thanks all. Rock on.

I saw Elder play last night. I'm gonna sort through some pics and re-do this post later, but I'm posting now to share some pretty crappy news.
~~Chas Mitchell~~ Jack Donovan (bassist) is sick with pneumonia in both lungs.

The band learned how serious the medical situation was about an hour before the show. They did not do their regular set, but they played for at least an hour. They did several of their newer songs.

At the end of the show, Elder did a couple older songs that they don't normally play anymore. We were treated (I think) to Gemini and Spires Burn. It was an amazing set all around. The guys were obviously winging it. Great time.

There's no mention of any tour changes on the website. I assume they are going to carry on.

Blackwater Holy Light was really good. Mikela has an amazing voice. The girls can jam. They are from Portland and were clearly happy to be home for the night.

they cancelled tonight's show in Seattle. seems like they'll be staying in Portland until the bassist is released from the hospital (Jack Donovan btw, Chas Mitchell was the founding bassist who left the band 19 years ago, before the recording and release of their self-titled debut album; the only recorded material he plays on is the demo bonus tracks on the remastered version of that album). next scheduled show is 2 days from now in Salt Lake City, we'll see if they make it

Thanks for the update. Fixed the name.
It was an odd night. They were truly concerned about their bandmate, but they also seemed to enjoy the challenge. There were some smiles as they jammed.
