If you never roll the dice, never risk something, then you’ll never reap the reward of having first learned and second expanded your opportunities to grow. Oregon’s First – The Everything Show set out with an ambitious goal to host a night that would offer “something for everyone.” Without catering to any specific crowd or scene, The Everything Show’s promoter Danny Morgan, Jr. (aka Suganuts), assembled a diverse blend of Oregon’s finest local talent for a night of musical variety. There was no doubt that most of the bands that came understood the vision for bringing such an ecclectic group together and responded themselves by giving 110% in their performances. Meeting several of these unique artists, who came from all over Oregon and were in various stages of their evolution as performers, it was inspiring to discuss the common pursuit of chasing their dreams through the expression afforded via their music.

Being the first act, has a certain dichotomy, where an artist bears the honor and burden of opening a show to set the tone for the night. While Pynt Syze brings a unique touch and high energy, between technical difficulties and a youth crowd confined to the distant balcony the response wasn’t up to par with what the young performer might have hoped for. KTR has a great sound with a meld of classic and modern rock, their compositions seamlessly rotate to brandish the talent of each musician. The play between percussion, acoustic and electric guitars provides KTR with a full bodied sound and the dual vocals gives a smooth dynamic that keeps things interesting in the melodies. If you don’t like ska, be careful stating such around Eugene’s Wetsock as their drummer dangerously resembles karate’s most notorious iconoclast, Chuck Norris. Wetsock brought high energy from the start that didn’t let up for a moment, with a spectacular blend of ska, punk, surf, reggae and swing. Treu aka Tha Hustla is the consummate professional, knowing that if the crowd isn’t warm sometimes you have to manually ignite them. Diversity was definitely on display when you consider that by this point in the show we’ve gone from 14 year old hip-hop local prodigy, classic rock, ska/punk and gangster style hip-hop.

Greenlander has a polished sound and look but don’t let the ties fool you, these gentlemen are ready to get down, with heavy riffs, pace changes and a crisp rock tone. October Rising has carved a local presence with their acoustic indie rock which elegantly plays with instrumental and vocal harmonies. Where time constraints and technical difficulties had prevented Will Woodruff from firing up his microphone for a full scale comedic assault, when intermission made an opening for The People’s Comedian to deliver, the crowd responded. Cracking jokes about his troubles with women and the societal disparities in perceptions of men driving mini-vans. Will is very personable, his comedy and beat-boxing skills played well with an Albany crowd. It’s wild to observe that the band that traveled the farthest, whom has the most momentum going for them currently and perhaps has played on the biggest stages of any of the acts, also delivered the deepest onslaught of musical mayhem for the night. It’s clear why Medford’s hardest working hardcore band, Tallboy, has been able to make such waves, as these young men put on a clinic of passion and professionalism, going all out as well as ALL over the place. DJ Unofficial was totally into the night, spinning and working with artists to add spice to a show that always brought something new.

The great thing about a live experience is that even when you aren’t used to a particular style of music, it is hard not to appreciate the work that goes into writing, composing and performing a song live. There is an energy to live performances that doesn’t always translate through recordings, so whether you are seeing your favorite band live or getting to experience something new, the opportunity to see such talented local artists on display is a blessing that shouldn’t be taken for granted. While there weren’t as many people on the dance floor as some would have liked, the crowd was always responsive, interacting with the bands and even cheering heartily throughout their sets. The biggest response of the night came for the shows organizer, seasoned local hip-hop artist Suganuts (aka Danny Morgan Jr.) who demo’d several of the rough cuts for his upcoming album ‘Natural’, which likely will be releasing later this year. Flo closed the night with her beautiful voice and classy R&B sound. On a night which envisioned a little of “something for everyone” the reception was creatively encapsulated by the t-shirt designs from The Sign Express which displayed a crunked out Charlie Brown and turn table spinning Linus. Oregon’s First – The Everything Show perhaps planted a seed, a vision/tone for what can happen when fans, promoters and artists are willing to color outside of the lines.

What more could be said, props to Suganuts for his vision and the amazing local performers who poured themselves out for this one of a kind show. Huge thanks to the sponsors for The Everything Show: Riley’s Bar & Grill is a spacious and beautiful venue with so much potential; KC Productions & Entertainment for stretching and laboring to make everything work; The Sign Express for designing and sponsoring the awesome Everything Show T-shirts; J Photography for getting into the action and capturing so many of the memories; Downtown Tattoo & Piercing for always being good to Albany music; Hightides Pipe & Tobacco for their generous support; Jack & Jill’s Barber Shop for your support and great hair cuts; Go Figure for all you do for Albany women and your willingness to get right into the mix; Nancy of The Entertainer for helping spread the word on all things local; Noah of The Alchemist for sharing your platform and working hard to help local art thrive; Paradox Production for pushing quality local hip-hop; Magnolia Audio & Music; Movies & Magic; Ciddici’s Pizza; AND EVERYONE WHO PASSED OUT FLIERS, TOLD SOMEONE AND CAME TO THE SHOW!

For most Saturday, March 27, 2010 will be a close to the week of Spring Break. What better way to celebrate than with ALL of your friends jammin’ to the live soundtrack on exhibition from of some of the finest local artists in Oregon? Oregon’s First The Everything Show will be going down at Riley’s Bar & Grill (124 Broadalbin – Albany, Oregon) with a night of music that will boast a little of Something for EVERYone. No matter what you scene is, if you like music you will enjoy yourself with the rest of the crew at Riley’s for The Everything Show. Hurdcore has introduced you to some of the artists that will be performing (link to article), bring your friends, bring your mom and your grandma and we’ll see you at 7pm on Saturday (3/27/10). To give you a little more background to the show, we sat down with the shows promoter, Danny Morgan Jr. aka Suganuts…

For those locally and nationally who still might not know who Suganuts (aka Danny Morgan, Jr.) is, tell us a little about yourself and what you have learned that has helped you get to where you are as an artist.
SN Honestly I make it because I make the most out of a chance. To make it, is to make music at my will, not to make fetti. I make music because I would be truly NUTS if I didn’t.

As a performer, what has being in Albany, Oregon been like for you?
SN I proudly do concerts and music with Poverty’s Posterboy, Yung Royal, Mr Great White, Tr3u aka Tha Hustla, SOUFside Ink, Weside Ink, Mr 541, Bent, Pynt Syze and EVERY single other rapper in Albany. Much love to all of you. Well I’m sure there are a few I haven’t but can’t quite think of any. Albany is nothing but love. There is nowhere else I’d rather be. Wish I could stay here forever.

You are a family man, carrying a fulltime job by day, writing, mixing and performing at night, how long have you been in the game? How many albums have you released?
SN If you are one of the few that know me, you may know I have 4 boys the oldest being 6 and a wife… If you also have a child you know how much love he/she may bring. I’ve been writing since I was a young teen and performing when I began driving. I’m almost 31 (flavors) and I’m proud to say it. I’ve release 2 pre-pressed albums and 2 pressed. The 5th will be out this year.

You are originally from The Bay area of California, were you performing down there? When did you decide to move to Oregon and Albany specifically?
SN Yes sir. Born and raised in Santa Rosa, California, but became a man in Oregon. I did a few shows as a youngster but not like the activity since I was introduced to Albany, Oregon, two years ago….. This is where we are supposed to be.

What do you enjoy most about the local rap and hip-hop scene?
SN Because of the talent we make each other better each day. The respect and love is top-notch. Unless you were here you wouldn’t know. It gets frustrating sometimes because the local rappers are honestly better then 99% of mainstream artists. They’re hungry. Someone needs to tell world leaders about Albany hip-hop.

Do you remember your first show here in the 541?
SN My 1st show in Albany was THE BLACKOUT May 2008 also at Riley’s Bar and Grill. Dub-U-Records and Bentley was the reason for my appearance that evening. A great evening and a great show.

As I talk to local artists, venues and promoters it seems that the name Suganuts is synonymous with a track record for putting together successful shows. Why do you think you have been so successful in putting shows together? What are the keys to a great show?
SN *I think my partner in crime… My wife is my key to success in that department. With her support and help it soothes the passion. *Time to plan. *Be creative, everyone else is throwing a show so do what only people have imagined and what you have dreamed of. Make it Re-ality. *Great artists, don’t settle. *Promotion—- really hand out the flyers, treat each one as a guest, posters….wait I can’t tell you all of my tactics.

Many of your larger shows have been at Riley’s (124 Broadalbin, Albany, Oregon) which is the location for The Everything Show. What excites you about hosting a show at Riley’s again?
SN It can hold more people and those people can breathe…I think we all are excited to perform at Rileys and with KC Productions & Entertainment. The vibe is great and stage is awesome to rock.

What have been some of your best experiences at this venue?
SN I think my most memorable experience was Sept 4th 2008 when I released the IMPAIRED album. The show was free and it seemed all the artists were ready to blow up. Everyone killed it that night. The place was packed and in my face. It was the best time at Riley’s.

Tell us about The Everything Show, is there any significance to the name? You’ve been successful with rap and hip-hop shows, why did you decide to take on the challenge of putting together a mixed genre show such as this?
SN Well, I wanted to develop an atmosphere that every age, every gender, every genre of life could come and have an F’n blast with everyone. I’ll never forget an instance when I have handed this lady a flyer and she had said “I don’t like that music.” Say NO now lady.

What performers do you have lined up and how did you choose these artists?
SN I’m proud to tell you that the shows being hosted by THE VERY FUNNY… WILL WOODRUFF – *Tr3u AKA Tha Hustla *Pynt Syze *Tallboy *KTR *Greenlander
*Flo *October Rising *Wetsock *NewAlias *Dj Unofficial — and Myself (Suganuts). [see hurdcore’s previous article introducing the lineup]

Any funny/frustrating stories to share about these artists or the process of setting up the roster for this show?
SN I think a frustrating point had been when artists didn’t respond. I feel like I listened to every artist in Oregon. I had to truly love their music. So here they are. I also wish I had time for every single type of music. Maybe by the 10th Everything Show.

What kind of support have you received from the community? Tell us about your sponsors. Is there still room for others to get involved, if so how can they help?
SN Anyone local person or business can take a part in the show. If you think you can help get ahold of me and let me know what I can do for you. You can reach me at 541-286-0131. I’ve teamed up with great local businesses to spread the word about THE EVERYTHING SHOW and the great job they do for the people of Albany and surrounding areas. Here they are: *KC Productions & Entertainment *Jack and Jill’s Barber Shop *The Sign Express *Albany Downtown Association *Paradox Productionz *Hightide Pipes and Tobacco *Downtown Tattoo and Piercing *J Photography *Go Figure *Magnolia Audio & Music *Movies and Magic *The Adult Shop (JK!!!) *Ciddicis Pizza *Hurdcore.com

In addition to the music you are having the show hosted by The People’s Commedian, Will Woodruff, are there any other tricks you have up your sleeve?
SN Well the only thing I would like to ad is The Sign Express is developing the 1st EVERYTHING SHOW T-SHIRTS for your wearing. You will be able to purchase and have any artists there sign it. It’s what I hope to do. They are all great people I’m sure each one would do it for free.

What do you hope people walk away with after they have experienced The Everything Show?
SN With an open mind to EVERY kind of music and the urge to come again tomorrow! These are all local artists. These are your peeps from your neck of the woods. The rest starts here.

The flyer reads “Oregon’s First…” are you planning subsequent shows?
SN Honestly this is the 1st. If the fans, businesses, artists, and the people of Oregon want another, then damn right there will be another. I hope I’m in Oregon forever, but the future is wide open.

What else does Suganuts have planned for 2010? Are you working on a new album?
SN I’m just coming off of a break or what I would call a break (my wife would disagree). I have been spending time writing and can’t wait for YOU to hear. The next album ” NATURAL” this year.

Just so we’re clear, when/where and how much is the show? Is this an all ages event?

At times there is nothing better than that old school punk edge with salty vocals summoning you to circle pit with your friends. From what I have seen recently the circles may be a thing of the past, but hearing Rendered Useless of Portland, Oregon reassures me that classic punk rock is far from dead. While the band is still primarily a local act and fighting to turn dreams into currency, they have made enough of an imprint to secure their song, “Rose City, Our City” not only into a rally cry for fellow Portlandians but the actual anthem for local soccer team the Portland Timbers (soccer too is alive and well on the West Coast). Rendered Useless continues to build upon the momentum of years past and are working to record a full length album for 2010.

Tell us a little about the history of the band. How did you all come together as musicians and at what point did you decide to take a serious run at going public with Rendered Useless?

RU Three of our boys (Brad, Caleb, and Omar) grew up together in the same small town of Hood River, OR and have known each other since they were kids. Guitarist Caleb and singer Brad had played together in various bands over the years and decided to start what became RU with Omar in the summer of 2008 with then drummer, Scoots. Guitarist Omar and bassist Guy had previously played together and Guy’s playing was a good fit for the sound. Things didn’t work out stylistically with Scoots and Benny stepped in on drums in early fall. Benny is a veteran of multiple projects and a transplant from the East-Coast.

It became obvious from the first few times we got together that there was something pretty special going on both musically and personally. Everything just seemed to “click”. We all got such a charge out of playing together! We got busy writing and arranging songs. We played our first “show” at The Matador in Portland as part of Benny’s birthday celebration. We only had four songs! The response from the crowd was so enthusiastic that we knew, without a doubt, that this thing was gonna take off. We worked hard to put a set together and set off into the scene to start networking and setting up shows.

Rendered Useless has that great old school punk edge, with salty vocals and high energy, how would you describe RU’s sound?

RU We all grew up listening to a lot of the same music and your description pretty much nails what we sound like. As individuals, we have a lot of the same musical sensibilities and influences. Combine that with our friendships, differences, life experiences, and common goals and you get our “sound”. It’s not really something we’ve crafted, but rather something that “happened” as a result of our coming together as this group.

When you write and play, what do you hope fans of Rendered Useless come away with?
RU When we write and play I think the essence of what was described above is translated to the audience. There’s a sense of camaraderie, a feeling of being “part of” at our shows. The music begs to be sang along with! We engage the crowd and make them a part of the show. It’s about having a good time with your friends and releasing some of the tension life has dumped on you. It seems to go over pretty well.

Rendered Useless is currently based out of Portland, Oregon – “Rose City, Our City!” What are some of the local influences that have helped the development of RU?

RU We love Portland! It’s our home, why not sing about it? “Rose City… Our City” is actually an anthem for our local soccer team, the Portland Timbers, and their fans (including us). There’s some pretty avid hooligans in this town! Other then that, there’s so many incredible bands and musicians in the Pacific NW that we can’t help but be influenced and inspired by them.

What are some of your favorite places locally to perform or attend shows? Where is the best and/or most unique place to eat in Portland?

RU Once again, there’s so many places to play in this town it isn’t even funny. We’ve played small rooms, large rooms, living rooms, basements, etc… you name it! Now where to eat in this town is even more complex then where to play! There is so much good food here that we couldn’t possibly relate all the cool joints in this interview. I’ll throw a quick plug for Eastside Deli on 46th & Hawthorne though cause they ROCK! Best $5.50 you’ll ever spend on a sandwich, hands down.

Rendered Useless is currently signed to Horns Up Records, how long have you been a signed entity and how has your relationship with Horns Up been?

RU Horns Up pretty much embodies our work ethic. It’s more of a co-op then a label. It’s about hard working, hard rocking bands getting together and helping each other out. Everyone involved is a musician. We met them in Jan ‘09 and it was quickly apparent that we’d be a good fit for their roster. They’re having their 1yr anniversary showcase this coming Jan 15th and the Tonic Lounge on 31st & Sandy in Portland, 9pm. We’re on the bill along with some other awesome bands, come out and show your support!

What were some of the highlights from 2009 for Rendered Useless and what are you looking forward to in 2010?

RU Through hard work we’ve landed some pretty cool shows, opening for the likes of A Wilhelm Scream, Death By Stereo, and Less Then Jake. We’ve gotten to play with so many other incredible bands from all over as well. Kinda hard to nail down the highlights! It’s all been pretty awesome so far. In 2010 look for our first full-length record and a tour of the Western US.

What are the weapons (instruments) of choice Rendered Useless?

RU Necessity being the mother of invention (as in we’re broke) we’ve all come to rely on function over form. Both guitarists play Epiphone Les Pauls, the bass is an old Fender Jazz, and the drums… we can’t tell you due to statutes of limitations!

Any funny and/or scary stories from recent shows or tours?

RU I’d have to say the best so far would have occurred at an event called “Creepshow”. It was a big deal with lots of different acts like fire-dancers, magicians, acrobats, suspensions , and of course, punk rock! We took the stage and there were many props off to the side for other acts. Most notably some black sandbags that were to weight down a pole for one of the dancers. They were next to Caleb, stage right. On that side of the stage there’s a stairwell.

Well… at some point Caleb managed to trip over the sandbags and fall head-over-heels off the stage and down the stairs. He managed to knock himself out and break is guitar into three pieces! Once we realized what had happened our friend Dillon (My Life In Black and White) hopped on stage and played the rest of the song. The stage crew had no intention of letting Caleb back on stage. We got the crowd to chant “Let Caleb play!” and after a little coaxing we got him back up there and finished out the show!

That guitar was his baby and he was crushed. We took what we were paid and pitched in a few more bucks and surprised him with a new one (in black this time) at our next rehearsal. We put it in his old case and as we were unloading the van told him to check it and make sure we’d grabbed all his cables. The look on his face was PRICELESS!!! He’ll never cop to it but I swear he shed a tear or two. Good times!
