Channeling NOLA’s Juju

Portland’s MarchFourth mixes funky big band vibes with a carnival spectacle
Avatar photo Chris Young

Propelled by an eccentricity that is uniquely Portland, MarchFourth has always been fueled by the magic of New Orleans. The city “has been in our DNA since the band’s inception,” yet “in a spiritual sense more than musical sense,” explains founding member and band leader John Averill. With more than a dozen members—musical or otherwise—on […]

He is the Liquor

Mr. Lahey and Randy leave the Trailer Park
Avatar photo Jared Rasic

There is no way that “Trailer Park Boys” should have lasted this long. After 10 seasons (with an 11th due in the next few months), a dozen specials and three movies, the adventures of these characters should feel excruciatingly dull by this point. But somehow the characters have not only remained fresh, but the storylines […]

Thursday 8 Headwaves ROCK—The Seattle-based four-piece sounds like a mixture of Portugal The Man and some weird fuzzy space rock. Its debut album is a fun exploration of ’70s synth pop and modern Pacific Northwest rock, and this is very much a band to watch. Headwaves is going to be huge a year from now. […]

Thursday 25 Metal Mulisha Rocks Redmond MOTORCYCLES—The Metal Mulisha people have been behind some of the most entertaining riding exhibitions of the last few years. Their clothing line bears a bit too much of a resemblance to the symbols and iconography of the Schutzstaffel (SS), but they mostly just ride motorcycles around and act extreme. […]

Built to Spill avoids the time trap

If you’re looking for impartiality, you won’t find it in this article, because Built to Spill is one of my favorite bands of all time. I’m biased. I was 20 the first time I heard “Perfect From Now On,” the band’s 1997 album. It helped me through many dark days, exposed me to what a […]

Southern Fried Hip-Hop

Nappy Roots returns to Bend
Avatar photo Jared Rasic

Nappy Roots came into hip-hop at the perfect time. It was the late ’90s and if you were in a Southern hip-hop crew, it was almost impossible to get radio play outside of the South, with mixtapes being the primary outlet most groups had to get their sound out. Then, in the early 2000s, artists […]
