As the first 100 days of our terrible president’s time in office comes to a close, our country’s woke citizens are still trying to figure out coping mechanisms for the awe that will undoubtedly overwhelm us for the years to come. Trump has already destroyed much of the progress our country has made in so many ways and if there’s one thing us here in the Pacific Northwest can do about it, it’s put on a damn good show in support of the programs he’s trying to nix.
Tonight begins the second round of Not Without A Fight, one of our city’s music-based options at dealing with the decisions of this administration thus far. On tonight’s bill, different factions of punk meet, with a bit of glam coming from Sweeping Exits, some indie/alternative from Beach Party and hints of melody from Mala Fides, rounded out by a bit of grunge-gaze from Seattle’s Bod.
Proceeds from this year’s Not Without A Fight are being donated to local health and social services nonprofit Outside In, as well as drug safety and harm reduction volunteer organization Portland People’s Outreach Project (PPOP). Tickets for nights one and two are only $7.
