THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND TONIGHT @ HOLOCENE

THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND returns to Holocene TONIGHT with an incredible line up of Portland bands + a traveling act that make this FREE party something you can't miss.

First up is 1776, a band we got turned onto by our partners at CRAVEDOG, and then after listening we understand why this band was recently signed to the Dandy Warhols' label, Beat The World Records, because this band has the songs, and tonight we'll see their live chops.

The band playing through all The Rumbles is the SF based duo, THE FEROCIOUS FEW. Since first meeting frontman Francisco Fernandez (that's a lot of F's) at a Rumble SF party by the DJ booth, and FF talking the most smack I had ever heard, we've been fast friends ever since. They've graced the Rumble SF and Rumble LA in past years and played our first Hollywood BrewFest last fall. They are supporting the instant classic - 'Juices' - and it's memorable that they are all official and on a label after all these years selling thousands of CD's on the street corners out of their guitar case.

Portland Mercury darlings, MONARQUES round out the night, as this seven piece are set to bring their sunny, 1950’s inspired indie pop. We're pumped that they are playing the party this month indeed.
"Portland's Monarques churn out sunny bubblegum pop that would feel equally at home in a '50s sock hop as it would in a cramped basement show in 2010. What's most impressive is that Oh Captain, My Captain's Josh Spacek pulled the whole project together in just a matter of months." - Portland Mercury

We'll also be having TRUMER PILS beer specials all night long!

As always, the party is FREE, and is brought to you by Future Sounds, Pampelmoose, Music Millennium, Cravedog, XO Publicity, Trumer Pils and Spin Earth.

This is indie supporting indie, so come out and join all of us and these incredible up-and-coming bands.

Holocene is located at 1001 SE Morrison Street

TONIGHT THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND RUMBLES INTO HOLOCENE

Ok, so we had too much fun over New Years and skipped hosting a hangover Rumble party in January, THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND is back for February with an incredible line-up @ Holocene tonight with three Portland based acts.

JAGUAR LOVE is our featured act on this month's Rumble Tour of the West Coast parties, and from the sound of last night's action in Seattle, they 'Started A Fire'.

Our Portland partners recently turned us onto the support and the electro-indie stylings of LOGAN LYNN, who recently dropped a cover version of The Dandy Warhols' 'The Last High' that owned us. Logan is signed to the Dandys' BEAT THE WORLD RECORDS and is prepping for the follow-up from last fall's 'From Pillar To Post'.

Opening up and providing music throughout the evening is DJ A TRAIN. Again, we're trusting the locals on this one because we've heard about AT all the way down in Southern California. You will dance at some point if you attend the party with these three performers.

The Rumble: Portland is brought to you by Future Sounds, Cravedog, Pamplemoose, Music Millennium, XO Publicity, WOXY, and Spin Earth.

THE PARTY IS FREE

HOLOCENE is located at 1001 Southeast Morrison Street

THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND TONIGHT @ HOLOCENE

THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND touches down TONIGHT at Holocene for another night of FREE music brought to you by your friends at Future Sounds, Pampelmoose, Cravedog, Music Millennium, WOXY and XO Publicity.

Headlining the party is RAVISHERS (Formerly the Rock Savants) a band that only started up in February, but have quickly pushed to the front of the line and are known for their blistering live show. Listen to "Keep You Around".

Bringing the freak to the party will be SERIOUS BUSINESS. Think GRAVVY TRAIN or PEACHES with a twist of CSS and you're getting close to Serious Business. Lots of songs about underwear and scandalous nights add up to their brand of business.

Opening up are APES OF WRATH, the band from San Diego we are so excited about that we're sending them through the entire Rumble Tour in November of the west coast dates and are releasing their new single, "Deathtrain" on Itunes tomorrow on Future Sounds Records.

Special guest DJ JARED WHITE will be keeping things moving between bands all evening.

Did we mention it's a FREE party?

THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND TONIGHT @ HOLOCENE

The October edition of THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND @ Holocene is one for the ages, and all ages, spanning genres and era's.

Headlining the Rumble will be BLUE SKIES FOR BLACK HEARTS, the Portland band that sounds like they broke out of Nuggets-era British Invasion rock. Jangly, jingly, great pop rock and roll.

Coming up from Los Angeles is the mighty FITZ & THE TANTRUMS, a band you've been hearing on WOXY, KEXP, and KCRW often recently with their white boy soul-Hall & Oates meets Robert Palmer meets Motown party sound.

You know it's a stellar bill when your opener is a star about to happen - SALLIE FORD & THE SOUND OUTSIDE. This is throwback fantasy mixed with intelligent lyrics and shouts out to Sunny Day Real Estate. Embrace Sallie, she'll be the world's soon enough.

The party is FREE and all your friends like Pampelmoose, Cravedog and Music Millennium will be there, as well as WOXY.COM and Future Sounds.

TONIGHT IN PORTLAND: THE RUMBLE @ HOLOCENE

The September RUMBLE TOUR kicks off tonight in Portland at Holocene as UNITED STATE OF ELECTRONICA make a run through all the west coast dates in support of their forthcoming 'L O V E W O R L D' album. Joining U.S.E tonight are two PDX buzz bands, HELLO ELECTRIC and DR HELICOPTER. The party is free, thanks to all of our partners - Pampelmoose, Cravedog, Music Millennium and WOXY.

As a teaser and to get you mentally and physically ready for what U.S.E will do to you, download "We The People" (mp3)

TONIGHT IN PORTLAND - THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND @ CRAVEDOG/SPECTRE

A quick turnaround from our Rumble PDX party launch just a few weeks back, but from here on out the party will always be on the FIRST TUESDAY of each month.

This month THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND moves to the CRAVEDOG/SPECTRE warehouse space on 412 NW Couch Street, near Chinatown and Burnside on August 4th.

The event has FREE beer provided by Mactarnahan's and Thomas Kemper!

Headlining the party will be NO KIND OF RIDER. They are coming off a set at FIRST FEST the past weekend and will be as sharp as knives for their Rumble set.

We're very eager to see the new songs played live by THE UPSIDEDOWN, as we've been listening to the forthcoming World's Fair cd release, 'Human Destination' and get ready for a spacey ride. Everything you love about this band only got better.

Opening up is a band from San Francisco with a huge buzz - A B & THE SEA. They've just finished a batch of demos that we're produced by Chris from THE MORNING BENDERS, and songs like "Suzie" will be everyone's favorites.

Because of the beer you must be 21+ to attend and YOU MUST RSVP - RSVP at rumblersvp@cravedog.com

TONIGHT IN PORTLAND - THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND @ MISSISSIPPI STUDIOS

Tonight we open the doors to the first ever, RUMBLE: PORTLAND @ Mississippi Studios with a 21+ FREE show featuring THE BLAKES from Seattle + 2 great Portland acts, THE MINT CHICKS and GREENLADIES.

Going forward past this inagural party, THE RUMBLE: PORTLAND will always fall on the first Tuesday of every month, whatever date that falls on, and links The Rumble: Seattle to The Rumble: San Francisco and the rest of the Rumble WC Tour.

We were fortunate to add partners like PAMPELMOOSE, CRAVEDOG, MUSIC MILLENNIUM and WOXY.COM to this monthly party that will always look to showcase great talent as well as artists on their way up that you should know about from not just Portland, but from everywhere. Plans to bring UK acts, Irish acts, Norweigen acts and from places unknown are in the pipeline so watch this space for more info...
