Powerhouse Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute and classic rock cover band Whiskey River poured into the Muckleshoot Casino’s Club Galaxy on Sept. 11, bringing along a heaping helping of Southern Rock and several of Skynyrd’s finest tunes.

The band played two sets, the first a Skynyrd tribute featuring a taste of the Southern Rock progenitors finest tunes, including “That Smell,” “I Know a Little” and “Gimme Back My Bullets.” After a brief break the band returned for a set of classic rock mainstays, including tunes by Free, Rick Derringer, Boston and Foghat.

Welcome to Electric Phase. It ain't no teenage craze! My name is Shawn Skager and for the last decade I've been working in community papers in the Puget Sound area, trying to figure out a way to meld my two passions - writing and music. Now I've found it and it's called Electric Phase, an outlet for information about music throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. So visit often and partake of the tasty morsels of musical information. And remember - read it, love it, link it, comment it. This whole online community thing is only as good as the people that participate. So let me know what you think and what you're listening to. And thanks to the band UFO for providing the name of the blog, a song from their classic 1977 album "Lights Out." See ya.
