I really hope that they make some money. I am pretty sure that past record label woes stemming from multiple labels and their new contract with 11- seven music has got to be kinda screwed up. I have checked up on some of their recent youtube items, and there is so much bass that its ridiculous. I love cold. i have identity crisis like the next cat and when korn and limpbiskit got together with staind not long ago, I felt like THEY were left out. I hate that. Anyways, I wanna go. I skipped a few of their shows, but not like in the Blue October kind of way, more like, I am too big of a fan to want to be seen as a common nerd in the crowd amongst hardcore fans.sorry for that. Its hard to say that sticking around for this concert will be a blessing, and after skipping artwork over two years now, I effing love the way COld is displayed on the different kind of pain case, I feel bad and obligated to get one...a tattoo, you know. Anyways, just trying to avoid some music for the time being and do something fun.

Ten years ago, Eric Tonsfeldt, Mikey Morrow, and Rupert Hugh-Jones played their first show as the Celtic-inspired pub band Amadan in Corvallis, Oregon. As quickly adding members as developing a rabid regional following, they spent their first six years filling a heavy ~100-gig-per-year schedule with music and cultural festival appearances, college campus events, and the obvious staple: three- to four-hour, high-energy house gigs in pubs and clubs throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. This blue-collar approach to music gave the growing Amadan lineup the energy and chops to churn out a number of developed original songs, segueing them into rock clubs.

Derivative of world music and an array of hard hitting and orchestrated rock and punk influences, the band has plotted their creative course with three releases, beginning with a half-Irish acoustic effort in 2002 and continuing through 2007's "Pacifica," a fast-paced, intricate, multi-instrumental record with eleven original tracks and one traditional tune. At the same time post-punk, post-celtic, post-barroom and post-comprehensible, the constantly maturing five-piece act has evolved into one of the mainstays of the Northwest rock and roll scene, and continues to write and develop new music. November 20th will see Amadan celebrate their 10th anniversary at the Doug Fir Lounge. The act seeks to celebrate their colorful history with returning band alumni, recharged old songs, and old fans and friends. Sarsaparilla and The Beautiful Train Wrecks will open the night.
