Johnny Franco and his Real Brother Dom are relentlessly shaking the Portland, Oregon music scene by way of their native Sao Paulo with innate charm and charisma. Serving up 5-day weekends every week consisting of countless shows, no stage is too big nor too small for their iconic and hilarious brand of entertainment — including but not limited to songs.

J. Graves is passionate dance-punk. Tense relationship rock, sanguine lyricism, guitar music, chord changes that sound like secret longing, a rhythm section that thuds, skitters, and melts over the determined voice of Jessa Graves. They are celebrating their new single along with PDX's beloved Nonbinary Girlfriend and SunDog all the way from Alaska.

“Frecks,” is comprised of two twenty-something members, Jayden & Jeremy from Portland, Oregon. Jayden has been writing music since her early teen years and draws inspiration from all aspects of her life. Pulling from concepts of introspection and undying love, she aims to tug at heartstrings with dreamy guitar riffs and haunting melodies. They are joined by Amos Heart and Sister Suede for a spooky October costume party!

Nug is Portland, OR based 4-piece blending post-punk, 90s slacker rock, grunge, and shoegaze sounds to create something one fan affectionately called, "A blend between Parquet Courts and the Grateful Dead." They are joined by Super Operator and Loose.

It all started around 2013 with the caption “MINDBLOWING PSYCHE- DELIA FROM THAILAND”—the Youtube video that accompanied this head-line on the Dangerous Minds Blog was exactly that. Here was a group of Thai musicians being filmed parading through a remote village hundreds of miles away from Bangkok playing some of the heaviest Psych known to mankind out of a crazy homemade sound system. Lose Yr Mind and Mississippi Records present the experience to you live; Khun Narin. They are joined by Abronia. 

Kinski’s journey through experimental melody and noise is a full-bore sensory thrill ride. Described by NME, “like Sabbath in a washing machine during a power surge,” Kinski is back to its original power trio format with Chris Martin - guitar, Lucy Atkinson - bass, and Barrett Wilke - drums.

Smoker Dad is a high energy rock n' roll outfit from Seattle. Swinging guitar riffs and powerful vocals that make folks dance like crazy. Loud, fast, raucous and dirty, as it should be. They are joined by Robert Henry and the Repeaters + Holy Catholic Social Club.

Forty Feet Tall has cemented their place in the scene as one of the PNW’s most exciting acts. With a steady release of singles paving the way for an LP this coming Spring, produced by Cameron Spies, they showcase a wide range of post-punk sounds that are both volatile and intimate. But the biggest buzz around the band is their live shows where they leave every single thing out on the stage. They are joined by How Strange It Is and Club Deluxe. Costumes encouraged! 

A special Halloween curation by the band themselves! Come and bathe in the wicked splendor of the most cutting edge noise-dance-math-rage acts the city has to offer. Festive at worst, deeply bewildering at best. Costumes are unnaturally required. Support from: Black Shelton and The American Dream + Only Only + Rheumatoid Trapezoid.

“They’re not very spooky.” Dripping wet guitars, relentless driving rhythm, and insatiable catchy melodies. Spooky Boys have quickly become the PNW’s favorite indie-surf rock band. The ‘Boys bring a fun and undeniable charisma to their energetic shows that leave crowds no choice but to dance along.' They are joined by Dakota Thiem and Charts.
