Friday Night at The Woods
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010Our friends Westfold have been playing some great new songs around town in the past two weeks, pretty much more experimentation, added screaming, and overall just sounding really tight as a band. You can hear it all this Friday when they play The Woods, show starts at 8pm.

Let It Go with Orca Team
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010It may not seem like it right now with the ever persistent clouds hovering overhead in Portland, but summer is just around the corner. And of all the tasks that come with the season, Orca Team has just crossed one off your list; finding the perfect summer soundtrack. Their surf rock debut, Let It Go, […]
The Rumble Portland
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010It’s not often that a free show goes down at Holocene, so it’s doubly exciting when the band headlining happens to be local lo-fi psychedelic rockers Blood Beach. Sporting a new lineup with the addition of Total Bros guitarist Ethan Jayne, Blood Beach are one of the few bands we’ve seen that can make a […]
Typhoon’s ‘Hunger and Thirst’
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Catching Typhoon live a few months ago, I was first struck by the sheer size of the group. I counted two drummers, guitars, horns, and a veritable chorus of backup players. And yet, it played out so seamlessly, I barely noticed when the harmonies rolled in and out of the thunderously […]
An Interview with Westfold

Simon - vocals/guitar
Tony - vocals/bass
Nick - drums
Heather: How did Westfold come together?

Friday, April 30th, 2010Beneath the Hiss of Plastic Tape: An Interview with Will Kapp
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
You may or may not have caught Will Kapp, also known as Truth Syrum, at his Portland debut at Valentines earlier this year…and if you didn’t, odds are that you probably won’t be seeing him, guitar in hand, at local venues in the near future.
And while some may not have the ability to decode the […]
Punk Rock Mechanic
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010Despite how tough he may look, Justin Apsley, otherwise known as the punk rock mechanic, is one of the nicest and chillest people I know. He has worked on a ton of vehicles at my work, including our Dodge Stratus several times. I can definitely refer him as a reliable and honest fella’ […]
Do you party?
Sunday, April 25th, 2010Party with some bad ass graphic novelists from all over and catch the end of a kick ass art show that has several bad ass artists. Sorry if you missed the stumptown fest today , all I had was a few bucks after spending the entrance fee-but still got to thumb through some sweet comic books.

It’s always great to see some familiar faces from back home playing Portland venues, in fact, since moving away I’ve really come to appreciate how much phenomenal music has come out of Sonoma County. I suppose when the venues are sparse, it really makes you work that much harder […]
A Place to Bury Strangers Play Former Funeral Home
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010The term “waking the dead” came to mind many times last night. On one hand you have The Woods, a building that began life as a funeral parlor. Now, the venue in southeast Portland is home to more inviting ambiance. A small bar along the side, antique chairs lining the walls, and an upright piano […]
Total Bros Thursdays!
Thursday, March 11th, 2010Total Bros play with people we like, at places we like and we like them…and are originally from Santa Rosa, but they are all here now and have been doing it all around the Portland house show circuit for a few years. Total Bros is Wiley and Ethan. Some other projects that Ethan has been involved in are […]
