There's a whole lot of great stuff going on here.
You've got The Decemberists and The National each playing a day at Pioneer Courthouse Square in the center of downtown Portland. Panda Bear and Man Man are both coming out of the woodwork to present us with songs from their upcoming albums. Not to mention Menomena, The Thermals, Suckers, Okkervil River, Rocky Votolato, Akron/Family, and The Walkmen!
Details on the official site here.
Here's my plan:
Sept. 08 - Panda Bear with guests @ The Crystal Ballroom
Sept. 09 - The Thermals with guests @ The Crystal Ballroom
Sept. 10 - Man Man with guests (venue still not confirmed)
Sept. 11 - The Decemberists @ Pioneer Square
Sept. 11 - Menomena & Akron/Family @ The Crystal Ballroom
I'm probably most excited to see MAN MAN, who are just recently reemerging and hitting the road with some new songs off their new album which is still in the making.
Here's hoping the play Dante's or Wonder Ballroom!
Here is some recent live video of said new songs:
And lastly, some awesome live clips also featuring some new songs.
MAN MAN is coming to town. GET READY!
