Dance Yourself Clean – An Indie dance party – 21+ event

Lo Fives, Mini Blinds, Public Pleasure – 21+

Lo Fives is a garage rock band from Portland, OR. Their fuzzy guitars and frenzied drums evoke a DIY aesthetic that captures a PNW basement studio with ample amounts of vitamin D. Lo Fives is an analog band in a digital world that harkens back to time-honored underground rock tropes in the vein of Swell Maps or Mission of Burma, despite the trends that may come and go.Formed as a duo in Portland, OR in late 2015, both Beth Ann Dear (Appendixes) and Devin Welch (Shoplifting, Past Lives, Vice Device, Appendixes) have been playing music in the Pacific Northwest in some form for most of their lives. Drawing influences from 90s female fronted alt-rock, 80s British twee & shoegaze, the Paisley Underground, and K records, they have created a sound with many layers and a common thread. In 2016 they released their first 8 song album “Air Signs”. The songs were bouncy and minimal, held together by layers of analog drum machines. In September 2018 the group released their EP ‘Dust’. Over time a natural evolution in the sound of the band has developed. Joined by Quin Dickinson (Jet Man Jet Team, Kingdom of The Holy Sun, Appendixes, Soft Shadows, and solo project Warm Static) on drums in early 2019 their sound has become much more dreamy and slightly harder and eerie with propulsive drums and more guitar feedback and noise. Since the pandemic the band has been working on writing their third collection of songs in hopes to release it sometime in late 2023 or early 2024. Mini Blinds have been on multiple Pacific Northwest tours and played notable music festivals such as PDXPop, Spokane’s VolumeFest, Homiefest, Mississippi Street Fair and Treefort Music Fest. Public Pleasure weaves shrieking feedback, distorted drones, and buzz saw guitar hooks into discordant yet approachable pop structures. Calmly provocative vocals float atop the maelstrom, riffing off of pop culture reference points while contemplating queerness and disenchantment at the end of the world.

Alessandro Cortini – w/ Amulets – 21+

PLEASE NOTE: This show was previously scheduled to take place on October 3rd, 2023. All tickets purchased for that date will be honored for the rescheduled date of March 4th, 2024. Italian musician, producer, composer and instrument builder Alessandro Cortini is one of the foremost figures of contemporary electronic music. A longstanding member of Nine Inch Nails, Cortini has been releasing a steady stream of his own heady music on luminary labels including Mute and Important Records for the past decade. Balancing dark ambience with smokey, pulsing rhythms, his compositions are perfectly restrained, textured and mesmeric. In 2021, in collaboration with boutique synth builders Make Noise, Cortini released his own, custom designed, semi-modular synth, Strega (Italian for ‘witch’). That same year, he used Strega to build his latest full length, Scuro Chiaro (Mute), which Pitchfork described as “pitched somewhere between purgatory and the planetarium […] consistently managing to thrill and surprise”. Throughout his shadowy rise to fame, Cortini has collaborated with the likes of Lawrence English, Daniel Avery and Merzbow (to name a few).with local support from Amulets

Hyphen Hyphen – w/ Seance Crasher – Early show! – 21+

HYPHEN HYPHEN : AWARD WINNING TRIO AND GIRL-FRONTED, QUEER POP/ROCK BAND WITH A STRONG MESSAGE Hailing from the coastal town of Nice, Southern France, meet the explosive Hyphen Hyphen and their uncompromising performance 🔥 Bridging the French Riviera and California, the Award-winning pop/rock trio HYPHEN HYPHEN released their third album “C’est La Vie” in January 2023, followed by stadium banger “Too Young” which was TF1’s official song for the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 in July. This new album is full of prestigious collaborations such as Glen Ballard (6 times Grammy Awards winner) on “Don’t wait for me” ; or mix engineers Mark «Spike» Stent (Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, etc.) and Dan Grech (Lana del Rey, Moby) marking the first time either of them had worked with a French artist. Armed with such an impressive cast, this third album is also the most personal for Hyphen Hyphen. Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/HYPHENHYPHEN/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/hyphenhyphen/?hl=fr Youtube :https://www.youtube.com/user/HYPHENHYPHENofficialwith local support from Seance Crasher! The newest single from Seance Crasher (the recording alias of Portland musician, Kevin Rafn) is about the stranger on the other end of the crisis line. “Charlie” is the disembodied voice we cling to when we’re lost, like a flashlight sweeping the dark.t’s also an extremely catchy, danceable homage to 1980s pop, complete with three synthesizers and a heavily reverbed tom solo. These elements might seem incongruous on first blush, but they’re situated in a tradition. Think: Tears for Fears meets Purple Rain. “I appreciate that kind of contrast,” says Rafn. “Serious subject, upbeat backtrack.”The song’s producer, Cam Spies, (Reptaliens, The Shivas, Radiation City), acknowledges the full-on throwback of the sound. This is not a daylight track. It’s midnight. “There’s steam coming from a sewer grate. There’s a sax player in a tunnel.” But as closely as “Charlie” hues to that sound, the high-stakes narrative delivered by Rafn’s dreamy vocals (backed by Lia Gist) produces a kind of interior dissonance that restrains the song from all-out kitsch.”It’s autobiographical,” Rafn says. “It’s about the narrator’s perceived intimacy with that stranger on the other end.” One lyric goes, ‘I hear his voice / though I know he didn’t have a choice,’ and therein lies the rub. For the archetypal “Charlie,” answering the phone might be a calling, but at the end of the day it’s also a job.The cover art by Kevin’s brother, Daniel Rafn bears an oblique resemblance to the Betamax sleeve for Miami Vice, but was in fact directly lifted from the most recent edition of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, a corresponding ’80s nostalgia tying the music to its theme (while inadvertently commenting on the state of psychiatry). Other contributors include Alexander Thomas on percussion, and photos by Todd Walberg.”Charlie” signals a shift from the psychedelic rock riffs of Seance Crasher’s previous records, toward more focused instrumentation with a solidly 1980s sound. This song will be lodged in your ear long after you’ve stopped listening.

Girli – w/ DJ Sappho – All Ages

North London upstart GIRLI (born Milly Toomey) concocted a chaotic mix of pop, electronic, and punk spirit when she began her solo career in 2014. The rebellious singer/rapper/producer was part of indie rock band Ask Martin while in high school, but when her bandmates went on to college, she decided she didn’t want to go down a traditional path. She chose a stage name inspired by Blondie, with an attention-catching aesthetic that was part cyberpunk and part J-Pop. She went out on her own, performing at all the local open mic nights that she could find, which eventually caught the attention of BBC Radio 1. Her inventive sound combines the futuristic pop of Charli XCX, the cheek of Lily Allen, the attitude of M.I.A., and the genre-blurring tendencies of Grimes. Her first single — “So You Think You Can F*** with Me” b/w “ASBOys” — was released in 2015, followed a year later by “Girls Get Angry Too.” In her songs, she raps about gender, societal pressures, critics, bad boys, and mean girls, employing a confident brand of girl power in the tradition of the Spice Girls.with local support by DJ Sappho!Sappho is a queer musical artist, event producer and co-owner of Koritsi Komma Records based out of Portland, Oregon. Currently, they are a resident DJ at Underground SF in San Francisco, Bottom Forty based on the West Coast, and the following nightclubs and party series in Portland, OR: No Request, NoFOMO, Opal Underground and The Eagle PDX. Harkening back to the most famous poet of antiquity who did not identify as a man, Sappho’s namesake has a strong connection to lesbian love and sensual empowerment. Much like the fabled name that they have built their base upon, they have often been the marginalized voice amongst a sea of male creatives. With over 20 years of involvement in the dance community, they are a mentor to queers and femmes in the craft of deejaying and a resource of underground nightlife culture. They have been changing the status quo with their deep research, guided by precise, almost librametric, methods, branching into new forms and combinations that weave an intricate modern day poetry for a current generation of souls, freeing them, to dance, to love, to feel – the way only a perfect stanza of poetry could elicit.
