Jane Remover & quannnic – All Ages

This event is entirely sold out. Thank you Portland!As long as she can remember, Jane Remover has strived for autonomy as much as possible. The nineteen-year-old songwriter is an omnivorous listener that produces everything herself. She has been lauded by fans and writers alike, for accidentally creating entire genres in the wake of her prolific two-year run. Her debut album Frailty was written amidst the purgatorial summer after graduating high school. The lyrics on Frailty are a wayward coming-of-age diary of a queer teenager stuck in the suburbs of a confusing, socio-politically turbulent America. Her words sting, but are shrouded in meticulous production; a sui generis vein of DIY rock. Simultaneously, it’s steeped in the lo-bit, nostalgic synths that soundtrack a final glimpse of younger memories. The LP was warmly received with Album of the Year list placements from Pitchfork and TheNeedleDrop, glowing reception from Paste, Insider and FADER, and a widespread resonance from a young audience who consider the album cathartic and relatable. The first Jane Remover live performances shortly followed the album, as well as the confessional coming-out ballad “Royal Blue Walls.” She opened a leg of the Anamanaguchi tour promoting the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World video game, as well as Pitchfork’s New York City fest at the Knockdown Center, and an entire North American run with brakence on The Hypochondriac Tour in November. Initial ideas for the sophomore LP Census Designated were written and recorded just weeks after Frailty’s release, but took 18 months to perfect. During her first trip across America, Jane collected ambience and experience that texturized the embryo of Census Designated. For an artist who’d previously incorporated far-away Google Maps and Zillow listings in her presentation, touring was a wanderlust dream come true. Jane says that a central inspiration for the new music came from an extremely dangerous drive in blizzard conditions, which led her to late night respite in John Day, Oregon. She states: “It was kind of like a reality check. I am painfully self aware, and it leads me to ruin like 90% of the experiences and memories I make. So I guess going through a near death experience made me want to stop ruining things for myself.” Her second LP is more conceptually abstract than its predecessor as Jane sheds linear narrative writing. Census Designated takes place beginning at sundown and through the night, up until the following morning’s earliest break of dawn. Its winding songs are obtuse but carefully composed, and intimately follow Jane’s train of thought. Dynamic production is at the forefront. Noisy highs gleam and are juxtaposed by dusky Post-Rock lullabies within the same song’s runtime.

Advance tickets are now sold out! We will have a limited number of tickets for sale at the door when we open at 8pm day of show.Barry Can’t Swim is a bold, colourful, impetuous voice in electronic music. Across a flurry of vital, cutting edge tracks he’s been able to blend club sounds with organic aspects, an outer-national approach that fuses house with afrobeat productions and jazz. From breakout EP ‘Amor Fati’ to club bangers such as 2022’s ‘Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore’, the producer has darted from style to style, all held together by that gleefully infectious approach. Incoming debut album ‘When Will We Land?’ finds Barry Can’t Swim switching it up once more – daringly ambitious, it’s also carefully finessed. His boldest statement yet? Don’t doubt it.

Starover Blue (single release), goodgrief (album release), Tim Yee – 21+

Starover Blue The nostalgic tones of a Juno-106 combine with ambient layers, sparkling guitars, and airy, bittersweet vocals to define Portland dream pop band Starover Blue. Founding members Kendall Sallay and Dirk Milotz began the group in 2007 while studying music at San Jose State University, then relocated to Portland in 2016 where they reformed as a six-piece. The band’s penchant for lush vocal harmonies, textural experimentation, and subtle use of odd meters appeals to fans of acts ranging from Cocteau Twins, Beach House, and Big Thief to The Joy Formidable, The Velvet Teen, and Wye Oak. A new LP is underway for 2024 release, taking inspiration from heavier-hitting indie rock versus the synth pop textures of 2019 LP Ordinary Magic and 2016 debut Spacegeist. goodgrief The new project from prolific Northwest songwriter Ezekiel Rudick, goodgrief draws inspiration from the depths of memory and the gray skies of Seattle in equal measure. Written, performed, and produced by the artist in his home studio, the first single, “this one’s about you” draws inspiration from the early ‘90s shoegaze sounds of bands like Drop Nineteens and Low while infusing it with the same rich poetic and sonic depth Rudick has brought to both his long-running project Young Elk and his collaborative effort with Starover Blue’s Kendall Sallay, The Slow Sound. The debut LP, ‘love birds’ mines the depths of emotional turmoil and nostalgia in equal parts. These melancholy aspects act as a foil to Rudick’s energetic performances and catchy riffs that seem looser and more free than his work in previous projects. ‘love birds’ is out Sept. 1, 2023 on Rue Defense. Tim Yee From solo road-tripping couch stories to conversations with God, Portland-based Tim Yee pairs these topics with some electric guitar-driven music containing flares of Indie rock that’s full of deep reverb and chorus, and a dollop of Alternative with its crunchy guitar riffs to keep you paying attention. The heart and soul of the music from Tim Yee are derived from deep-dived spiritual journeys and questions concerning faith, purpose, and the meaning of life’s events, with the hope of creating a space where people don’t feel alone in the struggle to understand life. With interlacing intricate guitar riffs, rip-roarin’ solos, and compelling bass lines to get you groovin’, these musical sounds and melodies are influenced by bands like Turnover, Beach Fossils, Coldplay, and more. With two E.P.s in the bag (Want You Next to Me and Blue Hair), Tim Yee has more music in the works and hopes to share soon!
