The PALS portion of Southeast’s PALS Clubhouse can be an anagram that stands for whatever you imagine (such as "Party and Live Sustainably") aside from the venue’s value of being a hangout for friends and friends of friends of local bands. Basically, the family of roomies in the bungalow are letting you come to their house party. Recently named by Willamette Week as one the the cities best (unlicensed) venues, masses arrive to a home of endless collages and backyard brouhahas that host local bands on an outdoor stage. In celebration of its hospitality and the summer tradition of music fests, PALS gives you PALS FEST 2013. The festival boasts an all day street fair on Saturday with performances from a slew of PALS pals like Tiger House, De La Warr, and Bubble Cats then spreads the love with shows from Sun Angle, Eidolons, Alameda and (too many to list here) in venues across the city throughout the week. BYOB at the clubhouse and bring one to share, gotta pay it forward. – Brandy Crowe
