GO! MAGAZINE • PAGE 5 THURSDAY, JULY 21, 2022 • THE BULLETIN music notes Rise Against, The Used will bring punk to Bend amphitheater Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Drive, Bend, volcanictheatre.com. You know by now, surely, that Bend’s big- gest concert venue, Hayden Homes Amphi- theater, will host a whole bunch of shows this summer, covering a whole bunch of different musical styles: Country, pop, jam band, reg- gae, blues, hip-hop, electronic and more. On Sunday, it’s punk rock’s turn as Rise Against, The Used and Senses Fail take the amphitheater stage. Expect a night of fast tempos, chunky guitar riffs and strong, shouted melodies. Rise Against is from Chicago, and they’re one of the catchier punk bands to emerge in recent years, which is no doubt why they’ve sold millions of albums over their two decades in existence. The story of The Used is pretty similar, except they’re from Utah and less pop- punk and more screamo than Rise Against. See you in the pit, punks! Rise Against, with The Used and Senses Fail: $40, 6 p.m. Sunday, doors open 5 p.m., Hayden Homes Amphitheater, 344 SW Shevlin Hixon Drive, Bend, bendconcerts. com.

And next week, it’s time for T.S.O.L., aka the True Sounds of Liberty, who formed in Long Beach, Calif., in the late 1970s.

Alas, personnel turnover and clashes over the band’s artistic direction ultimately limited T.S.O.L.’s potential for success. But they’re survivors! They’re still out there doing what they do better than most, and they’ll do it Tuesday night at The Capitol in Bend. Show up and pay respect to some un- derground lifers!

Who? I don’t know, but I’ll bet they know who they are. Jess Ryan Band, with Blackflowers Blacksun: $10, 9 p.m. Saturday, Volcanic The Suttle Lodge’s weekly Big Lawn con- cert series continues at the rustic resort northwest of Sisters, this week welcoming Boise, Idaho singer-songwriter Nick Delffs. Delffs grew up in rural Northern Califor- nia and he was once an Oregonian, where he fronted the excellent Portland indie rock band The Shaky Hands in the 2000s. After that band ended, he moved to Idaho, where he released a fine solo album in 2017 and an EP called “Childhood Pastimes” last year. The latter — a song cycle about the human journey through life, love, heartbreak, suf- fering and joy — showcases the full range of Delffs’ songwriting style, which is hy- per-rhythmic and effortlessly melodic. Other shows coming up at Suttle Lodge include Maita on Aug. 8 and Ryan Sollee on Sept. 5. The schedule is at thesuttlelodge.com. Nick Delffs: Free, 6-8 p.m. Monday, The Suttle Lodge, 13300 U.S. Highway 20, Sis- ters, thesuttlelodge.com. — Ben Salmon, The Bulletin Jess Ryan Band to celebrate new EP Courtesy The Jess Ryan Band The Jess Ryan Band Three years ago, Jess Ryan told The Bul- letin she was excited to prove her doubters wrong and put out her namesake band’s first full-length album. Now, three years and part of a pandemic later, the Jess Ryan Band is back with a new EP called “Take A Seat.” Lest you misinter- pret the tone of that title, the cover art fea- tures an open toilet with what appears to be a large plume of fire rising out of the bowl. The EP’s five songs feature more of the sound that has made the JRB one of the most popular local bands over the past five years: Shadowy, smoldering blues-rock ‘n’ soul laced with heavy vibes and psychedelic saxophone textures. This is a band with a firm grip on dy- namics and the confidence and chops to play slow without losing momentum. And if song titles like “Bad Actor,” “Trans- gressions” and “Talk Too Much” are any indication, Ryan appears to be writing IT’S HUMMINGBIRD SEASON!
