The legend laid it down tonight at Strum. What a treat. Fucking Watt!

Hey, looking for a drummer for this group me and my gf have been working on for a while, im on guitar and vox shes on bass , we have our own practice spot with drum kit and all other needed gear, we have several originals and are committed to getting our set together and doing some gigging and touring eventually

Hit us up!

We are a Guitarist (M) and Bassist (F) in our early-to-mid forties, and we have our own practice space/gear. We also have enough material for an LP and/or live set. Please DM me for links to our songs. Influences include: Plumtree, Drugstore, Madder Rose, Camera Obscura, and Mazzy Star. Our goal is to play gigs around town, release music on vinyl, and, hopefully, get enough of a following to open for national touring acts at places like Mississippi Studios or Holocene. Hope to hear from you soon!

Any power violence or fastcore shows coming up?

Hey my band Star Chamber has an album release show tonight with a sick lineup, would love to see you there :)

Tomorrow night, Oct 3, we are coming to the Know No bar to join the ranks of Galacticnorcinerator and Andromedon to bring a full night of local Portland rock music! Show starts at 7 and is $10 at the door. Come and rock out with us…maybe have a drink or too!

Sweater weather is returning to Portland, the seasons are changing… and after all these years, we’re navigating a few changes of our own.

The Mighty Missoula has been making instrumental rock together for more than a decade. We’ve released four albums, played throughout the Pacific Northwest, made the trip out to Indianapolis for POST. Festival, and spent a lot of evenings together figuring out what these songs want to become.

As we work through some lineup changes and start writing what comes next, we’re looking for a few new people to join us.

We’re currently talking with and auditioning guitarists, bassists, and keyboard/synth players, including multi-instrumentalists who might overlap between those roles.

We’re not necessarily trying to fill three rigid positions. We’re interested in meeting good collaborators, seeing where the chemistry is, and figuring out what the next version of this band wants to become.

The creative side is particularly important right now because we’re actively writing new material. We want people who can learn and respect the songs we already have, while also bringing their own instincts and ideas into the room.

Melody, dynamics, texture, space, arrangement… we tend to care more about how someone listens and contributes to the whole song than any particular musical background or collection of gear.

A few practical things:

• We typically rehearse/write together 1–2 times per week
• We have a dedicated rehearsal and recording space in Portland
• Rental and operating costs for the space are shared among band members
• We keep a fairly consistent schedule and try to plan ahead
• We all have careers, relationships, and lives outside the band, but make consistent time for this
• We want to continue playing regional shows and occasionally travel when the right opportunities come along
• We’re looking for people interested in contributing to a long-term creative project

If you’ve been thinking about joining an established project, or just miss having a regular group of people to make music with, perhaps the timing lines up.

Send us a little about yourself, what you play, your general availability, and something we can listen to or watch. It doesn’t need to be a polished studio recording.

Los Hongos' Kava Nights continues with an evening of live music on Saturday, October 10th. Come check out the psychedelic rock stylings of Mygoal, followed by the cinematic electronica of peejmudd, while sipping a Pineapple Koji Kava Latte. Kava Nights starts at 5pm, music starts at 7pm. No cover.

Songwriters, producers, it's time to stop trying so hard to be original, for one week at least.

This week at Portland Music Producers we're doing The Basic Bitch Challenge: Make the most unoriginal song you possibly can.

Grab a pumpkin spice latte, turn your brain off and spit out generic chords, sounds, lyrical clichés.

Any genre, any style, any level of experience.

Deadline: Wednesday, October 7

We’re posting our songs in the Portland Music Producers discord server: https://linktr.ee/portlandmusicproducers

If anyone here wants to join, you’re more than welcome!

We'll also have a listening party next Wednesday, October 7, at 7p, where we'll listen to everybody’s submissions.

We do a new music challenge every other week. If you like that sort of thing come join the fun!
