The Blazers won another game last night! Can someone tell me if this is a common W?! I may not understand what’s going on in the sports world, but I'm sure dedicated to telling you anyway. Now, on to something I do understand…local music!

Come join Portland’s own Family Worship Center as they celebrate the release of their new full-length album, Only Visiting on May 22. Win tickets!

JUST ANNOUNCED

• East Portland goes full party mode this weekend. The 82nd Avenue of Roses Parade turns 20 with a 3-day blowout—parade, carnival, car show, farmers market, and contests. Pull up for history with a sugar rush.*

• Sad house king DJ Seinfeld is pulling up to REALM PDX on June 11 with his low-lit, high-volume house that actually gives you something to dance to.

• Hit The Lights are back and still hitting like it’s 2008 (in the best way). They’re taking over Mississippi Studios this November, get tickets!

• Bayonne brings the Filters Tour to Mississippi Studios this November. Loop-driven electronic, tight production, no fluff. Show up and lock in!

• Natural Child makes garage rock that doesn’t try too hard (and doesn’t need to). Feels like a dive bar in the South, in a good way. Show up in November!

WHENEVER

LOCALS ONLY

• Now through Sunday, Mt. Hood Jazz Festival is delivering smooth horns, student bands, big band energy, and enough solos to make your head spin.
