If you're a fan of classic blues/blusey rock, I would highly recommend The Insomniacs, a local Pacific NW band that rocks. I went to see them with N this last weekend, and it was a blast. These guys know how to put on a good show, and don't skimp on the energy. If you live in PDX, you should stop by and see the show!
