Was, Is, Be...PDX

Here are some interesting things that are worth checking out.

On Saturday, Starfucker played a free show in an alleyway as part of a series of performances put on by This is Lost Gospel. Some other previous shows included local bands White Fang, Almost Nearly, and Glass Teeth. Stay tuned for some more shows featuring Southern Belle, Glass Candy, and yet-to-be-announced surprise guests. Check out the site for videos and photographs of the performances.

Tonight, Jack Lewis & The Woodgrain will be playing live on my radio show "The Half & Half Hour" at kpsu.org at 9:00. And at 10:00 another band, Patterns, will be playing on "Arya Imig's Sound Judgement."

Tuesday Night at the Dekum Manor will feature some other great local bands: The Shaky Hands, Here Comes a Big Black Cloud, Worlds Greatest Ghosts, and the Vonneguts. Should be crazy.

Thursday, head on over to the Hotel Deluxe for the first Top Down Film Festival Series show. The even will include a performance by Love Menu followed by a showing of the movie Big Time on top of the parking garage.

And........

Friday-Sunday = PDX Pop Now. Local Cut has a great compilation of songs by bands that will be performing at the festival.

happy summertime,
johnson!
