Shows this week - California Edition
By Annie | June 21, 2010
Well, despite the damn near incredible music scene here in Portland, it’s true, I do often miss seeing all the great local Sonoma County bands that I used to see so often. So without having to wait until they finally tour up North, I hope to catch these shows while back visiting this week. For those of you in the Northern California region, maybe I’ll see you here:
Had to add this one in here since sadly, I’ll be missing the two Hanalei performances that will also be taking place this week in Portland. Wonderful acoustic music at the best (and only?) record store in town.
Kindness and Lies is fronted by two lovely ladies (Ash & Niki) that I have shared many things with; a house, a band, mix tapes, el patio, and countless campy movies back in the days of the 5th street house. I miss these ladies dearly, and can’t wait to see their new band for the very first time this Friday. Think powerful, emotional rock with harmonizing vocals that range from delicate falsettos to soaring and epic choruses.
Last time Goodriddler played Portland I had friends in town and we were having so much fun hanging out at home that we arrived just a tad too late to the show and missed his set. Since then, I’ve often found Goodriddler’s new release in heavy rotation in my car, further substantiating the feeling that I’ve got to see him live again, and thankfully this show is giving me that chance.
Now if only Moggs, Not to Reason Why, Polar Bears, and my good man Ben Shackleford was playing a show this week, my visit would very nearly be complete. Maybe next time.
