Ever heard a voice so smooth it felt illegal? FIA’s got that. The kind of vocals that make you question your life choices... while swaying in slow motion under dramatic lighting.

We’re giving away tickets to see the rising R&B-pop crooner live—and yes, you’ll want to win. Because therapy is expensive, but vibing to emotional bangers in a crowd? Practically free.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• The musical comedy cult hero, Stephen Lynch, is back with The Me Tour—a one-man symphony of absurdity, self-reflection, and probably at least one song about Jesus doing karate. Get tickets for April 17.

• If your heart rate isn’t at 140 BPM, are you even living? Psytrance titans Vini Vici are bringing their mind-melting, soul-shaking live show to town on April 25.

• Spite makes music for when you want to punch a demon in the throat. The deathcore wrecking crew is set to demolish Hawthorne Theatre on May 29.

• The Scranton sad-rock heroes are back with the same heart-crushing harmonies and just enough fuzz to make you feel 17 again. Don’t miss Tigers Jaw on June 13.

• Heavenly sounds like falling in love at a basement show in 1996. The cult-fave indie pop outfit is back with jangly guitars at Aladdin Theater on June 26.

TRIBUTE SHOWS & DANCE PARTIES

Fake it ‘til you scream it. Portland’s tribute game is unhinged in the best way right now. Iron Maiden, Rage, and Testament shredding Dante’s; Etta James’ birthday getting the soul treatment it deserves; and two nights at Holocene for the Beyhive and sad song addicts alike.

• IRON MAIDEN, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE & TESTAMENT TRIBUTE @ DANTE’S

• ETTA JAMES BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION @ ALBERTA ROSE THEATRE

• THE TAYLOR PARTY @ REVOLUTION HALL

• HOUSE OF BEY: A BEYONCE CELEBRATION @ HOLOCENE

• THE REPLACEMENTS, ELLIOTT SMITH, NEIL YOUNG COVER SHOW @ HOLOCENE

• IT’S A 2000’S PARTY @ WONDER BALLROOM

THIS WEEK

Start Your Day With Fewer Sirens

We all enjoy starting our day with an email that screams at us, don’t we? Wrong. That was a TEST… and you PASSED it. Every morning, the 1440 editors comb through over 100 respectable sources, pick the stories that matter, boil them down without adding extra gravy, and lay them out like a calm breakfast. You get a 5-minute newsletter that’s quick, straight-shooting, and written by people who appear to have read the manual. No bots. No slant. Just plain, thorough news on politics, business, and culture for over 4 million readers who’d rather ease into the day than have it kick the door down yelling. Always free.*

LOCALS ONLY

• We’re still waiting for an In-N-Out that isn’t over an hour away, but Portland isn’t short on burger spots. Sure Shot Burgers is transitioning from a food cart to a brick-and-mortar establishment.

• Livin’ the American Dream? is a storytelling show for the curious, the misfits, the brokenhearted, and the hopeful. The event is sliding scale with a raffle that benefits a queer mutual aid group in Venezuela.

• She’s got more moves than a John Hughes dance montage. Miz Mary Montrease, Portland’s undisputed Dancing Diva, is headlining Icons of the 80’s Drag Brunch, and yes, it’s gonna be totally tubular.
