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.
