EOTO

Went to an awesome concert last night. It’s sad to say that it was my first concert I’ve ever attended.

Featuring EOTO and guests Vibesquad and Big Gigantic, I had no idea what was in store for me. As a lover for music I wasn’t too worried, as long as it has no relation to country music (sorry!). EOTO (pronounced like Kyoto without the “K”) is an electronic jam band consisting of Jason Hann and Michael Travis and they perform only in live venues. All of their performances are completely improvised. EOTO means beautiful sound in Japanese. Their CD Elephants Only Talk on Occasion, confused people and was thought as the meaning behind EOTO, but Travis confirmed their actual name is End Of Time Observatory.

Jason Hann is a percussionist for The String Cheese Incident, an American jamband from Boulder, Colorado.

The venue itself, Mishawaka Amphitheatre, has the most unique and “bomb” setup. It’s located in the middle of the mountains so all you see is nature all around you, plus theirs a river right next to it so you can… use the bathroom or just chill while jamming to the music. I didn’t get the chance to take any pictures, which is something I’m regretting at the moment, but their will be another day. I do wish I went to more live concerts after going to EOTO. I’ve been missing out way too much. It’s not too late! Better late than never I always say!
