Ten Bumbershoot Acts Worth the Trip to Seattle - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good ol’ Bumbershoot. The long-running, constantly morphing music festival that takes place September 5-6 at Seattle Center is just a week away, capping off the unofficial end of summer with a bang. Sadly, Portland doesn’t have our own end-of-summer blowout (we did; it was MusicFest Northwest, and I miss it like some dead relatives and long-defunct bars), but our northern sister has our backs—if we’re willing to make the three-hour trek. I know what you’re thinking: “Six hours round-trip? In thi
Getting Baptized in Confetti With the Hold Steady at Mississippi Studios - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was Friday, August 7, and we were packed like happy little sardines at Mississippi Studios. As the Hold Steady’s Craig Finn began to sing “Your Little Hoodrat Friend,” local sticker artist Jane McDonald held out a handful of smuggled confetti for me to take. At some point after 2014 (the last time the Hold Steady played a “traditional” tour stop in Portland), the Hold Steady became the kind of band that not only demands a shower of rogue confetti—it also became the kind of band where everyone
A Pickathon Recap and Future Forecast: Which Acts Will Make It Big? - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After many years of reliably booking bands on the cusp of their big break, beloved local music festival Pickathon has finally started to lean into what I like to call the “Pickathon Bump.” While any given year’s lineup might be full of acts you’d never heard of, looking back a year or two often dazzles you with a list of names you might now find inescapable: Tyler Childers, Geese, Wednesday, MJ Lenderman, Black Pumas, Searows, Khruangbin… the list goes on and on. I like to joke that founder Zale
Yr City’s a Sucker: The Best LCD Soundsystem Songs (Released Since They Last Played in Portland) - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was there. I was there on May 29th, 2010, when LCD Soundsystem played their last show in Portland, at the Roseland. I was exhausted and the drunks at the barricade were seriously obnoxious, but I knew it would be my very last chance to see James Murphy’s beloved dance-punk act, who had announced that their third record, This Is Happening, would be their last. Less than a year later, they closed the book forever on the band who made it cool to treat dance music like therapy, and to turn therapy
A Complete Newbie’s Guide to Pickathon - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is it already almost time for Pickathon again? It feels like the annual journey to Pendarvis Farm comes quicker every year. Now entering its 26th year, the four-day, genre-agnostic blowout, taking place this year from July 30-August 2, never seems to last long enough. It’s important to squeeze every last bit of juice out of the festival. After all, you never know when the juice will run out for good. Yes, that sounds dramatic. When I asked festival founder Zale Schoenborn what advice he would gi
