Re: New Monsoon in Eugene Fri, 11/2 & Portland Sat. 11/3
Fri, November 2, 2007 - 1:26 PMwho is planning on some monsoon tonight????
here is the jambase review from Las Tortugas II last weekend if anyone needs some encouragement:

New Monsoon's Sunday night performance ranks amongst their very best and showcased the hungry focus and jaw dropping musical acumen at work in the new five-piece configuration. Opening with "Greenhouse" then swooping into "Help On The Way" > "Slipknot" instantly sent sparks flying. No nostalgia exercise, the heavy smack of "Slipknot" was driven at every loop by electric guitarist Jeff Miller, who continually reminded us what a goddamn tasty picker he was both on Sunday and their late night set Saturday. The New Monsoon of today forces us to go back to the instinctive openness rock & roll once demanded in the late '60s and early '70s, where all tangents are fair game as long as they've still got rock balls swinging them forward. Nice Rocky and Bullwinkle themed costumes on Saturday, too. And their Saturday encore of Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down" accomplished the rare feat of sounding nothing like Neil, especially the Freddie King pre-dawn electric blues flavor Miller gave the intro.
