Last night I went to the Hawthorne Theatre to see my friend Tommy’s band play.  His band is called Emsley, and I’ve seen them play live before, and they’re really good.  Emsley played first, and they put on a great show.  Sleep for sleepers played next, they’re from Los Angeles and I’ve never seen them or heard of them before.  They were very good as well, kind of a soft rock sound, very mellow at times, so good. Next was New Heights, once again, never heard of them or seen them.  They’re from Seattle, so I guess they are kind of a local band? I don’t know but they had the same sound as Sleep for sleepers did.  Next up was Brightwood.  Take the sound from all three bands and multiply it by ten.  They were absolutely amazing, and I’ve never even listened to them before.  In my opinion, Emsley and Brightwood were my two favorites of the night, and they’re both from Portland.  It’s crazy, I never knew we had such a good local band scene.
