Hipsters: Whats the music scene like in Portland? |
Travel Info Whats the live music scene like for funky 35-year old hipsters who are into Indie music & some alt music; but mostly indie? What bands come through there, and often? Death Cab, Kristin Hersh, Postmarks, Of Montreal, VNV Nation, etc... Travel Tips [begin edit] yes lot of indie bands come to Portland. check the links below to see what bands are coming when and compare that to your favorite band list. Note: the Doug fir will probably bring most of the type of music you are interested in... check their website... http://www.dougfirlounge.com/ or look it up on pollstar... they have the best concert listings for all the cities in the US... http://www.pollstar.com http://www.pollstar.com/tour/searchall.p... deerhoof seems to be playing next week at the wonder ballroom [/end edit] punk / alt bars... - shanghi tunnel - dantes - the tube <- the last time I walked in there it seems to change - ash street Indie art kook venue - Doug fur regular Venues - crystal ball room - roseland - barbatis pan (my favorite) voodoo donut = very good donut there are some other things poping up on the SE side... I have been mostly going to see DJ's most of the Venues are really small which is cool this is a good website to look up shows http://www.pollstar.com/ http://www.barflymag.com/ http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/... http://www.nwtekno.org/ Others Check out the A&E section on OregonLive.com. They list a lot of the touring musicians that frequent the clubs and venues. Then you can pick your faves or maybe learn of some awsome NW-specific bands that don't make it out your way. Many have their own web sites or at least a spot on MySpace where you can listen to some of their tracks. I think the music scene here rocks. there's nothing like NW Alternative. It IS the alternative. . Crystal Ballroom is awesome...wonder ballroom too. |
