YACHT at The Wonder this Saturday!

 

The mish-mash party sounds of YACHT are streaming back to the Wonder Ballroom this Saturday the 14th. Their stop in Portland for their “Road to Utopia” Tour will have some fresh songs from the forthcoming album and the earworm “Dystopia,” which you need to be careful with as it lodges into you your head and everything becomes “the [thing], the [thing], the [thing]is on fire…” Jona Bechtolt, shameless creator of catchiness, has been at the helm of the band for nearly a decade, getting people to dance and go crazy all along the way. The platinum blonde Annie Lennox-a-like is Claire Evans, who sings, chants, claps, and dances her way around the stage. With supplemental reading and pamphlets at their shows about finding your inner truth, the show should rock your chakras off. Not often do you get a little self-help and a lot of musical bang for your buck! Leading up to the main event, Bobby Birdman, Light Asylum and Jeffery Jerusalem will be checking your auras and helping you get ready to dance in the present moment for YACHT. – Shelley Gaske
