The two just played shows in Portland and Seattle were wonderful...A bunch of friends from the Seattle expressive dance seen came and we all had an great time dancing and flowing to the music . They played some new songs I had not herd before and it was interesting to listen and get a sense of where the band is now through the new music. The recently passed smoking ban in Seattle made the experience all the more blissful. Lots of subtle anti war themes permeated the evening through the light show and some of Roderic's comments during song brakes. They seem to have a pretty good spirit and one got the sense the band was as tight as ever and headed in some new creative directions.
The Portland show had a slightly shorter set . Both shows featured encores of 2000 light years from home I will be posting a few photos from the Portland show shortly I sure hope they do a wider tour soon. There is talk of getting SCM to play the Oracle gathering at the end of the summer ... stay tuned...
