The Conjuring Room

It was the final night of an experimental music fest: Wooden Octopus Skull Pfestival 2006. The bands were Wolf Eyes, Douple Leopards, Dead Machines, Yellow Swans, Hive Mind, and The Cherry Point.

The space is indeed part of a large warehouse, but it’s in a place just an escape away from the usual Seattle nightclub humdrum—no disrespecting of those Seattle venues, of course. The Conjuring Room is meant to feel like someone’s own place, and is perfect for more DIY events like this. The basic facilities were there (bathroom, drinks), and the staff were very friendly, answered questions, and were very laid back.

Last but not least, to give props to Enterruption & the Electric Heavyland, they hired a really good sound team and arsenal for this.

I had a great time here, and hope to see more shows here again.

The first and probably last time I’ll be there was for wooden octopus festival—it doesn’t seem to be a normal venue. Apparently someone named Calvin lives (or live/works?) there (he has a parking space with his name on it), but the space seemed to open right into the OR warehouse.
