Before the digital era, T. Eric Monroe, photographer, captured thousands of intimate moments in music history. These images were kept out of the public eye for decades...until now.
Come see them on display at Benchmark Gallery for a limited time.
Opening event, March 8th 7-9pm, featuring No Requests DJs: DJ Ambush and DJ Klyph
Free to Attend, All Ages Welcome
Join ILPS Portland, Unite Oregon, Portland DSA, and Sisters of the Road for the next installment of the Community Voices Town Hall where we will unite together to find answers to these questions.
For too long, policy and politics in the city of Portland have favored big business and the wealthy elite. Meanwhile, the people’s efforts toward community control of public services, mutual aid, and transparent governance have been squashed and silenced. Who really runs Portland, and how do we take it back?
Featuring a panel of organizers who have been waging pro-people campaigns in our community over the years. The panel will discuss the ongoing struggle for grassroots people power in the city, followed by a group discussion about how to get involved in the fight to take back Portland.
Portland based DJ Ambush x DJ Klyph bring No Requests! to the White Eagle Saloon.
Come through and feel the vibes. A night of Classics. Remixes.
Straight Boom Bap. 90's Hip-Hop and Golden Era inspired.
2 DJ's. 4 Decks. No Requests!
DJ Ambush
In
a time when DJ's come a dime a dozen, I was faced with the obstacle of
separating myself from the pack. And through years of trial and error,
I've come to find that the best way to do that is consistency. Stick to
the script and give the people what they want. Consistency doesn't mean
playing the same records each week. But it does mean giving a quality
performance every time you pick up the headphones.
Ambush!!
DJ Klyph
Always pushing the foundation, the definition of hip-hop. Peace. Love. Unity and Having Fun.
7 pm doors, 8 pm show

Moon Walker
Harry Springer may compose, produce and perform all of Moon Walker's music in his bedroom, but the electrifying and uniquely eclectic sound undeniably feels more fitting for a stadium.
When Springer formed Moon Walker at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, he was merely looking for a way to pass time and make some extra money selling songs to music libraries. "I sold some, and it was going fine, but then I wrote some songs, and I was like, 'I really don't want to give these ones away." Those songs that Springer just couldn't part with ended up becoming his critically acclaimed debut record Truth to Power. Thanks to sudden viral success on TikTok and praise from the likes of The Darkness's Justin Hawkins, the 7-track album quickly established Moon Walker as one of rock's most promising acts. Less than a year later, Springer released with his sophomore effort The Attack of Mirrors with great fanfare and coverage, resulting in 25 million streams across platforms in 2022. In 2023, Moon Walker continued the hos streak; signing to a co-publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and Limited-Edition Publishing. releasing his third album "Apocalypticism" on October 20th, and going out on his first tour playing shows across the country with sellouts in Chicago, Nashville, Denver, and Columbus.

Celebrate 10 YEARS of XRAY with us in an all-out Birthday Bash with some certified rock stars, a whole lot of the XRAY DJs you know and love, and an exciting announcement you'll just have to be there to see.
We haven't held an official birthday event since Year 5 (2019) for...perhaps obvious reasons. In the past, these have usually sold out so get your tickets early!
The Minus 5
...is a rock/folk/pop collective captained by Scott McCaughey (see: “Scott McCaughey” c/o “The Internet”, for further reliable information), with Peter Buck often aboard as navigation officer. By design from its inception, the line-up for recordings and live appearances is completely fluid, dependent on musician availability, whim, and wind direction. Collaborators regularly feature friends from R.E.M. (as it once were), Wilco, Decemberists, Posies, and literally hundreds and hundreds of other recalcitrant comrade combos. Everyone gives their all, and no one need be counted on.
Abronia
A lot of bands who fly the psych banner these days have a minimalist view of the music, and choose a sort of post-shoegaze lassitude to present their “vision.” This can be astoundingly great, of course, but it also fails to address the central gobble-crazed nature of true psychedelia. Many of history’s greatest psych outfits were hewn from bizarre hybrids of disparate parts. Frankenstein monsters in search of sacred ecstasy. One gets the same vibe off of Abronia. Totally unexpected bits pop up amidst their rhapsodic jamming, conjuring shards of memory as disparate as Relf-era Renaissance, Joseph Byrd’s United States of America, and even (at least in spots) real early Siouxsie. These are just a few examples of how wide Abronia cast their net. Their instrumental brunt moves from neo-prog to folk rock to thunderheads cast in the same mold as the Sensational Alex Harvey Band’s (I shit you not!).

Travvy was born in Portland, Oregon the year of 1994. In middle school Travvy's neighbor was a DJ who helped him make a mix CD at just 11 years old. One year later, Travvy's father passed away. This put everything to a stop and Travvy turned to alcohol. Reaching rock bottom he made the choice to move to Wisconsin, where he found a support system that helped him get sober. Throughout his addiction, he claims music saved his life. Artists such as; Atmosphere, Missy Elliott, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Outkast, among others shaped his music and helped him process emotions. At age 15 Travvy was kicked out of his house by his mother's 2 month boyfriend at the time, who is now her husband. He is a Proud Boy against everything Travvy stands for. Travvy is biracial and of the LGBTQ community and has felt unsafe around his mother and her husband. In the song Journal Entry #1 you'll hear him dig deep by sampling his old beat and song, along with his new perspective. He samples his mother's actual husband, and actual voicemails from his mother. Travvy is now 4 years alcohol free and counting. He has found a love for astrology and provides private readings as well. Travvy's music sounds a lot like artists such as; Frank Ocean , Kanye West , Londrelle , Lavva , Lizzy Jeff , 6LACK , WILLOW , J. Cole among so many others! You'll also find sprinkles of affirmations throughout the songs to help better your mind, body, and soul.
