VIDEO: LISSIE GIVES US 'LITTLE LOVIN'' AND PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS

It's no secret that Future Sounds has a crush on the lady from Rock Island, Illinois - LISSIE. Her gigantic voice and even larger passion for songwriting pours out of her, and this live video of her in Austin @ Stompin' Grounds showcases what a gem that she truly is. Our good friends, PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS do some amazing video work and this time they nailed it again at the party we had with AMERICAN SONGWRITER MAGAZINE and XO PUBLICITY in March.

We'll be announcing the 4 RUMBLE parties early next week, as well as WOXY parties and shows.

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?
