Daily Email - Monday - 4/7/2025

April 07, 2025

Alright, comedy lovers, bread bakers, and fans of clean humor, gather ‘round! Tom Papa, the man who’s been making us laugh for over 20 years without dropping a single F-bomb, is back on the road with his Grateful Bread Tour. Enter to win tickets!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • From the age of five, Yo-Yo Ma casually redefined what it means to be a prodigy before most of us could spell “cello” correctly. Don’t miss the cultural icon as he hits Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on April 20.

  • Feed Me isn’t just music—it’s a full-blown sensory experience wrapped in neon teeth and basslines sharp enough to slice through your soul. Get tickets to see the electronic music auteur at The Den on May 16.

  • Architects are the blueprint (pun intended) for modern heavy music, blending ferocious riffs and gut-punching breakdowns. Catch them at Crystal Ballroom in August.

  • Emmy-nominated writer, stand-up dynamo, and NAACP award-winner Josh Johnson has been quietly (but hilariously) taking over the comedy world one punchline at a time. Secure tickets to The Flowers Tour hitting Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on August 20 + 21.

  • Berlin-based artist Anika is a post-punk priestess, a dub disruptor, and a former political journalist who traded headlines for hypnotic beats. See her live at Holocene on September 22.

RECORD STORES IN PORTLAND

In an era dominated by streaming services and digital downloads, record stores offer a tactile and immersive experience that digital platforms cannot replicate. From crate-digging for hidden gems to engaging in conversations with fellow music lovers, Portland record stores foster a sense of discovery and connection that transcends the transactional nature of online music consumption.

THIS WEEK

🤘 Poison The Well

Tonight @ Roseland Theater (6:30PM) 

Born in the sweaty, sun-soaked hardcore scene of Miami in 1997, Poison The Well are genre-bending pioneers who didn’t just play music; they crafted emotional wrecking balls.

🎤 Bob Mould

Tomorrow @ Wonder Ballroom (7PM)

From his Hüsker Dü days, where he basically blueprint-ed the sound for Nirvana and Green Day, to his 90s alt-rock reinvention with Sugar, and now into his solo career that spans 15 albums, Bob Mould is not one to miss.

🎸 Wheatus

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (7PM)

Wheatus, the band that gave us Teenage Dirtbag, a song so iconic it’s practically tattooed on the collective consciousness of every millennial and Gen Z-er who’s ever felt like an outsider.

🔥 WILLIS

Tomorrow @ Aladdin Theater (7PM)

If “I Think I Like When It Rains” rings a bell, you’re chronically online. You’re also probably a fan of WILLIS, the indie rock band blending psychedelic soundscapes with bluesy guitar licks and surf rock.

🤘 Whitechapel

Tomorrow @ Roseland Theater (5:30PM)

With Whitechapel’s latest album, Hymns in Dissonance, they’ve officially declared war on melody, harmony, and anything resembling restraint. If you thought their earlier work was heavy, buckle up—this is Whitechapel at its most menacing.
