Bands To See This Weekend
By TG | November 11, 2011
Forest Park
November 11, 2011 @ Garfield House
with Hang The Old Year, U Sco, and Matter
9:00 pm | All ages | $5 at the door
Forest Park are a band to watch out for here in Portland.They may be young, but their skills are sound, and you can tell they are only getting started. Playing a mixture of shoegaze and indie rock, guitarists Katherine Paul and Maya Kiko Stoner rarely linger on one riff for very long, making for dynamic instrumental breakdowns and moments of dissonant melodic tension.
Big Black Cloud
November 11, 2011 @ The Know
with Buk Buk Bigups, and Blood Beach
9:00 pm | 21+ | $5 at the door
Simply put, Big Black Cloud create aggressive, down and dirty punk rock. Extremely high energy and bordering on the experimental with their use of psychedelic sounds and sludgy breakdowns, the Portland trio headline The Know tonight with fellow psych-rockers, Blood Beach.
The Appleseed Cast
November 12, 2011 @ Doug Fir
with Hospital Ships, and The Hague
9:00 pm | 21+ | $12 at the door | $12 in advance
The Appleseed Cast are best known for their sweeping, instrumental climaxes found on their early discography dating back to the late ’90s. A few lineup changes through the years aside, Lawrence Kansas based quintet are back on the road with their latest release, the Middle States EP. Serving as a natural progression for a band rooted in intricate melodies and emotionally driven choruses, The Appleseed Cast continue to release albums as consistent and impassioned as their very first.
