Hey cats, Here comes Bobolink! What a fun way to kick off the spring
and summer festival season.
Before we get into the details of our recent Northwest tour,
upcoming Bobo sets and June 19th Cafe du Nord show, we'd like
to take a moment to highlight one of our recent shows uploaded
to archive.org.
The Cozmic Cafe in Placerville is a funky spot over a landmark
mine entrance. Great people, excellent food, fun times. This
show, from April 25th of this year, was recorded by Iain Haworth.
An excellent soundboard recording provides some high quality
Churn-o-riffic sonic pleasure:

GREAT NORTHWEST TOUR RECAP
We really want to thank everyone who came to support Five
Eyed Hand on our first journey outside of California. The
hospitality, stoke and love you gave us left a lasting impression
on everyone in the band.
Ashland, OR
We made a bunch of new friends along the way. AJ who came
down from Cave Junction to Ashland to see us and shared some
Oregon goodness with us. So glad AJ found us on archive.org.
:) Our sound man, Mark, really helped us sound our best in
this new venue and were all very excited to play. The crowd
may not have been that big, but it was ALL QUALITY!!
Portland, OR
Asher Fulero is an amazing keyboard player from Portland that
you all need to check out. He played a great opening set at
the Goodfoot and did an incredible job adding great musical
energy to the 5EH sound. We were thoroughly impressed with
his attitude and chops and we look forward to teaming up with
this man again.
We also got to see a bunch of old friends who really helped
put the word out for these shows. We could never have had
as successful night at the Goodfoot or Tiger Lounge without
you all. You Visitors up in Portland really made us feel so
welcome. Our superb hosts, Billy and Shannon, really made
us feel right at home. Brian did an awesome job running sound
and our good friend Jason Perkins displayed some amazing visuals
behind the band.
Seattle, WA:
He also followed us to Seattle's Tiger Lounge (a go-go), a
new restaurant/cafe with a super friendly staff and great
attitude. Jeff, our soundman, did a great job in providing
sound and for his enthusiasm to "just want to be part
of the band for the night."
Dunsmuir, CA
Speaking of great sound, we have to give it up for Blue Turtle
Seduction's soundman, Armando. Awesome job. And the Turtle
boyz really made us feel welcome when we arrived at Sengthong's
in Dunsmuir. The woman who ran the place (and the whole town
maybe), Anna, was awesome. She set us up with a great meal
and a sweet house on the river. Not sure we ever had better
accommodations before.
We ate well just about everywhere we went. Post-show BLT's
at the Lloyds were THE BOMB!! (mmmm... neighbor bacon)
Special thanks to our master MC and poet of the Stokin' Word,
Sam Flot, who came to support us with not only his words but
his actions too. It was a pleasure to have him along for the
ride.
Our manager, Chris Seeger, did an awesome job keeping this
rock & roll machine running smoothly. Kudos, congratulations
and thanks Seeger for the hard work. You make it much easier
for these musicians to just play the best music we can.
Last, but not least, we feel like we should give an award
to a couple of special friends who really helped set the energy
level high to kick things off. Jason Beerbear and Shannon
Lloyd surprised the band and made the trek from Portland to
Ashland for our show at the Stillwater. And then supported
us at the next two shows at the Goodfoot in Portland, and
Tiger Lounge in Seattle. You guys ROCK!!
We really can't wait to visit and bring the Five Eyed Hand
groove back to the Pacific Northwest.
