Havania Whaal fall into a space between the garage, noise-rock, post-punk and shoegaze genres. They take elements of each and inject them with an experimental energy you can only achieve by attaching a set of pickups to a mandolin and distorting it’s traditional sound until it becomes something otherworldly. This sound and a charged live show has brought them through the crowded house shows and bars of Portland to The Tube, where they are set to release their new ‘slime green” cassette tape, Château De Chienne this Thursday night. Be there to experience Havania Whaal in their gritty, noise filled and ecstatic glory. The show starts at 9, Mister Tang, The Mishaps and DJ Alligator Heart will be performing as well. – Benjamin Toledo
