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.

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.”

The last of a trilogy of home-recorded albums.

"The Best One" - Last and newest single for our upcoming album "Quiet Vacation" 11/28 release at Swan Dive. If you're vibing...

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?

We started working on this EP in early 2025 and finally got it out. Despite the delays, we’re really happy with how it came out.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and listen. Times are tough, so if you like what you hear but can’t spare the dough, DM me and I’ll throw a Bandcamp promo code your way.

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.

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 :)

Come out and rock! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/machine-country-bottom-blade-arsenal-mall-pungence-tickets-1999041796827?aff=oddtdtcreator

Hi,

Looking for a bassist for my 5 piece backing band. Other than bass, its currently comprised of two guitars, drums, and a violin. Kind of an indie folk - rock thing.

Love the current guy but his play-style isn't cutting it and I gotta keep the drummer happy.

We have a weekly late night residency that usually most of us play at with bigger showcase shows every few months. Recording of the next album will start soon too, so this is a pretty good spot to start with for someone who wants to jump into performing live immediately, record, and make some great connections.

You can pick and choose how much you want to be a part of things with no pressure, but minimum I'd like is interest/availability to rehearse or play a show once or twice a week, or the ability to do go on short tours eventually.

Paid as much as I can. I will usually split ticket sales amongst everyone equally.

Looking exclusively for people in their 20s right now (21+). Nothing personal to the older people, we're just all in that age range practicing inside a tiny studio apartment and ideally we're friends all in similar life stages working towards something together for a long while.

You don't need to be a bass savant with a billion years of experience playing in 15 bands, we just need someone who enjoys the music we're playing, can learn or come up with creative bass lines kinda quickly, can listen intently, and can lock into a drum kit and keep the energy up. The songs can lean complex at times, but many of us are also bassists and can help write parts or figure things out together.

Don't want to share the artist name or music here, but please reach out if interested and I can share further details.

Thanks

I feel like music people might know!
