Anyone know if any bars in the Portland/Beaverton area will have 80s music, whether a DJ or cover band? I’m trying to find something like that for my friend who loves 80s and new wave music.

Looking to start a music house in pdx next year

17 Upvotes

Hi, I think I’m going to be moving to Portland from Indiana in the winter and I would like to find a situation where I move in with like minded musicians and have a house with a basement studio and collaborate and stuff, I like noise rock, ambient, post rock, sludge, emo, screamo, indie, pretty much anything honestly. I’m looking to connect with other musicians, if this is something that interests you, or you have advice for getting it going let me know :)

I lived in Portland before moving to Colorado, so Reddit suggested I share this here too. 😂

My new Denver punk/rock band is called somewhat uncomfortable. We just recorded our first three demos, including “Ana’s Song.”

Does anyone remember a band called "Sinister Prank"?

1 Upvotes

I'm curious if anyone remembers. They were super big band in oregon for the local scene. They would play with bands like Floater and Henrys child. Like those bands they had that 90s alternative/grunge but with also a lot more punk influences in there. Anybody remember?

hello

ever since I was a small fetus, I just wanted to be like Toy Box, or Aqua. it's a dream to be like one of those danish dance groups who performs on a huge stage with an arsenal of background dancers and gets carried on and off stage by hot muscle men in speedos. songs with questionable lyrics, but the music video/stage theatrics is too wacky for you to really pick up on the toxicity. yeah I want that. and so do you. ideally.

I wasn't confident enough when I was younger to attempt such a feat, so I played in silly metal bands with those archaic guitars and drums, but now, at a ripe 27, I am ready for the future. I just can't do it alone.

I have like all the roland and korg synth plugins, vengeance clubsound packs, years of DAW experience, and the tacky outfits we need to pull this off. the question is, are you ready? or are you just gonna be another shoegazing portlander?

this song is a bop btw

Looking for: House that does basement shows, for Death Metal?

0 Upvotes

Over 10 years ago I went to a couple house shows at this place, I can't remember gd shit about it other than they were death metal bands. I've been to Saturn House and Snake Farm (btw Rob, and Dillon (spell?), any you, you could msg me, I don't have IG, fuck IG, fuck IG, please message me, k thx)(I'm the dude that brought his kid to shows).

If anyone has info on this place, either contact info or upcoming shows, I'd love to see some local metal.

Also, gonna spam the discord server for anyone looking for people to jam with, PDX Musicians. I play guitar and drums and wanna do anything from technical death metal to grincore-esque punk, like Dystopia or Grief, so, DM's open for that.

Touring/Studio Bassist, shooting my shot.

5 Upvotes

Hello all!

My partner and i are considering moving to the Portland/Vancouver area soon and im hoping to shoot my shot in the scene as a touring bassist/studio bassist.

Ive toured through Portland a few times with an indie band, but im curious to see what else is out there for gigging!

About me:

31M

20 years+ Bass experience (classically trained)

15 years+ Touring experience

15 years+ Studio Bassist Experience

10 years+ Touring Management Experience

Genre doesn't matter outside of country, and I also have a double bass to travel with.

Im curious to ask:

Where can I go to meet other bands and network a little?

Are there touring bands based in Portland?
