Pink Slime get ready for two shows this week

 Pink Slime have been making their rounds through the Portland house show circuit over the past year, spawning mosh pits and drunken dance parties along the way. The three piece surf rock outfit play with the anarchic energy of a punk band, placing piercing low-fi yells atop chaotic drum rhythms and catchy, distorted guitar riffs that breathe a whirlwind of energy into their surfy tunes. You can’t help but dance along with these guys, and you have two chances to this week. Pink Slime’s playing at Backspace with Wimps and The Happening this Thursday night and at the House of Preblon Block Party on Saturday. See you in the pit. –Benjamin Toledo
