The 80s Alternative legends have returned to Portland!


In October 2011, a reconstructed Music Of Quality And Distinction concert at the Roundhouse on night one (featuring original artists from the projects such as Sandie Shaw, and new talent such as Polly Scattergood) would be followed on the second by a dramatic reconstruction of their biggest commercial success, The Luxury Gap.

The Luxury Gap has never been more relevant. Written during the height of Thatcherism by three Left-leaning young men against a backdrop of over 3 million unemployed the parallels with the Austerity Britain of today are obvious. Today with a Millionaire cabinet, bankers' bonuses, yet with once again three million unemployed and doom and depression everywhere, Heaven 17's sly, post-modern critique of modern society has never sounded so resonant, nor been so necessary.

Sunbathe is the devastatingly catchy, fuzzed-out pop band brought to you by songwriter Maggie Morris. Suffused with lyrical honesty and a raw performance style, Morris can command the stage coasting along on an abundance of hooks and lighthearted guitar. Sunbathe has quickly gained notoriety for their captivating live performances, touring with the likes of Typhoon and Built to Spill, all the while living and breathing a DIY ethos. Referring to themselves as the most punk pop band in Portland, Oregon– Sunbathe cites ABBA and The Ramones as two of their biggest influences yet they will remind you of neither. Their songs will leave you feeling nostalgic for something that you probably only experienced in a dream.

Workshop Cost: $70

In this workshop students will use transparent objects to create moving image cyanotypes without the use of traditional filmmaking equipment. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate how to clear coat 16mm film with cyanotype solution, compose creative film sequences with pre-coated stock, properly expose in the sun, and develop and tone images using household chemicals. At the end of the workshop, we will splice and project our sequences. Participants are encouraged to bring translucent fabrics, objects, 16mm negatives, transparencies and other materials to enhance their creative journey.

As a percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Fimbres wields an arc of pure infectious energy, and a rare and cosmic control over the rhythmic and melodic spectrum.Born & raised in the Pacific West Coast, his Latino culture is immersed in not only his music, but his way of life as he sees it.

Portland Institute for Contemporary Art's (PICA) twentieth annual Time-Based Art Festival

TBA:22 illuminates what is new and extraordinary. It wrestles with the unanswered and unanswerable. It pushes against this edge of what it means to make—and who can participate in—contemporary art. In addition to performances, exhibitions, dance parties, our new NIGHT SCHOOL program, and our Fall 2022 Creative Exchange Lab, we invite you to come hang out, sip, ponder, and reconnect between and after programs at our on-site Festival bar. TBA:22 will feature international, national, and regional artists, World and West Coast Premieres, local partners, and accessible sites and spaces across the city. 

This September, we invite you to come together—in the twenty-year spirit of TBA—to experience a festival like no other.

Lose Yr Mind Fest is pleased to announce the full line up for the 8th annual independent music festival celebrating some of the best artists in rock, psychedelic, post-punk and garage. 

This year’s primarily local lineup of 23 bands and two music showcases will take place September 2-3, 2022 across four venues in Portland’s Central Eastside neighborhood, with a free and open to the public wrap party on September 4. 

Along with a majority of female fronted bands, this year’s festival will emphasize BIPOC and LGBTQ+ representation, making it the most diverse Lose Yr Mind Fest to-date. 

Fueled by the nostalgia of the 90’s, this year’s lineup dives into the past to create a new blend of fresh and eclectic post-punk sounds. Highlights at Lose Yr Mind Fest include various Portland-based hometown stars such as ‘sad rock’ Soft Kill, psychedelic-pop band The Dandy Warhols, and indie-folk MAITA, whose sophomore record I Just Want to Be Wild for You dropped in February. While the mix of artists at Lose Yr Mind Fest includes local favorites, Psychic Bloom’s soulful garage rock from Tehran and Orquestra Pacifico Tropical’s Colombian cumbia rhythms show that the festival sounds go beyond borders and genres.

Frequently pushing that sensual sweet-spot between genres, Cut Snake’s rough and ready party vibes come out of the studio with slick sonic edges, holding their own just as well at banging peak-time as at a lazy afternoon poolside sesh. The only guidelines you need for these tunas come straight from the slinker’s mouth: “best enjoyed with a beer in hand" Having spent the first decade of his career as a pro surfer, Cut Snake’s Leigh ‘Sedz’ Sedley got into dance music while touring the world for surf contests, inspired by the underground scenes in each country he visited. The career transition from beach to beats was remarkably smooth. Whilst waiting for waves he fine-tuned his production skills from beachfront bungalows, giving his music its unique taste: fresh as, and just a little salty. “I like spending time in my little studio,” Sedz reflects, “but my favourite thing to do is take my Winnebago down the beach and write tunes on the roof with a mad view.” As it always has been, the key is to give maximum vibes and minimum fucks. As for what’s next, the future is fluid. “I’m just going with the flow at the moment; we’ll see how shit pans out!” Spoken like a true man of the waves. As Sedz would say: sit back, crack a tinnie, and get stuck into it.

As world travelers for nearly two decades, Rising Appalachia have merged multiple global music influences with their own southern roots to create the inviting new folk album, Leylines. Remarkably the band has built its legion of listeners independently -- a self-made success story that has led to major festival appearances and sold-out shows at venues across the country.

Founded by sisters Leah and Chloe Smith, the band established an international fan base due to relentless touring, tireless activism, and no small degree of stubborn independence.
