June 13 – This Friday, underground Portland’s favorite pshychedelic house of DIY, PALS Clubhouse, will host a night of experimental rock ‘n roll worthy of popping those last few mushroom caps you’ve been holding onto for the right time. Headlining the night, electronic math rock trio Bearcubbin’! are sure to leave you with visual trails and echoes of looping guitar. Another power-trio, all the way out from Austin, Megafauna are on tour in support of their new album, Maximalist, with a more straight forward rock yet at times trippy feel. The Tamed West open the night, and although they currently only have one recorded track available for listening, they are sure to become a new favorite in Portland and beyond sooner than one may think. You’ll be psyched you caught them for free when they were still opening shows.
