Happy Halloween! 🎃 Today may be all about the spooky and scary, but come November 9 you’ll be nothing but laughs.

Nate Bargatze is proof that you don’t need to yell to be hilarious. The Tennessee-born master of low-stakes storytelling delivers clean jokes with killer timing and accidental wisdom.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Lush, aching, and quietly devastating, The Antlers just released their seventh album, Blight. Get tickets to hear it live in January at Polaris Hall.

  • Lola Kirke sings like she’s halfway through a cigarette and fully over your bullshit. Think Dolly meets dive bar jukebox. Don’t miss it on February 19.

  • Cold Cave brings darkwave, industrial pop, and synths that stab you right in the feelings to Roseland Theater.

  • Miguel is back, and it’s going to get steamy on the CAOS Tour landing at Keller Auditorium in March.

  • Hawthorne Heights still sounds like how your high school breakup felt. They’re back to make your inner emo absolutely lose it in March.

FREE STUFF FRIDAY

A Frybread Fest with live music and the best carbs in town, Jazz Thursdays at the bar, a vintage market full of unhinged home décor and sweet deals, and an Asian Makers Market packed with local food, art, fashion, and culture. Bookmark our free events page for more!

THIS WEEKEND

🎸 Motherfolk

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Motherfolk makes indie rock that punches you in the feelings, with sets going from heartfelt to feral in under 3 minutes.

🏡 Good Neighbours

Tomorrow @ Hawthorne Theatre (8PM)

Good Neighbours live somewhere between alt-pop, indie rock, and your most dramatic daydream.

🎤 LAUNDRY DAY

Tomorrow @ Polaris Hall (8PM)

LAUNDRY DAY sounds like five best friends dared each other to make a band — and accidentally got good.

🔥 Florry

Sunday @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Florry makes country music for people who don’t trust Nashville. It’s twangy, jangly, a little messy, and completely sincere.

🤘 Petey USA

Monday @ Roseland Theater (7PM)

If you like alt-rock anthems, synth freakouts, and sudden emotional gut-punches, you’ll love Petey USA.

Tired, wrinkled, or just looking like you haven’t slept since The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey came out? That was 13 years ago, by the way, and it does not hold up. Particle Face Cream fixes all that, except for Peter Jackson’s disappointing follow-up to The Lord of the Rings. It’s a 6-in-1 formula built for men’s skin - thicker, tougher, more prone to neglect. It reduces wrinkles, fades dark spots, hydrates the skin, and even soothes the skin after shaving. No 12-step routine, no mystery serums, and no off-putting 48fps frame rate that made the characters look like they were in a daytime soap opera. Over a million men use it daily because it WORKS. Save 20% with promo code DOSTUFF20 and try it risk-free for 30 days. Try Particle Risk-Free.*

  • Fandoms will unite at Kumoricon, running tomorrow through Sunday at Oregon Convention Center.
