WEINLAND, The New Year’s Super Group & The Dimes @ Mission Theater + Lots of Guests

December 27, 2009 — PDXPIPELINE

The addition of the “New Year’s Super Group”  could make this one of the most interesting Portland NYE events this year.

Related: Portland New Years Parties, Events, Information and Pictures

From Facebook info:

WEINLAND
and The New Year’s Super Group (see below)
with The Dimes

This is the New Years Eve Party for people who want to dance, grind, and rock all in one place. The show for people with a rock n’ roll sensibility and the deep and impulsive need to dance on the biggest party night of the year.

The Dimes open with their high energy folk-pop tunes at 9pm. Can the over 400 people who lined up for their recent CD release party be wrong?!

WEINLAND lays aside the ballads and unleashes the beast at 10pm. Okay, we may play a ballad in the middle.. just so you know its us.. but in general we’re coming to this with the energy that ended many of our recent tour shows with full blown sing alongs and stage rushing dancer kids.

Then, to close the show…

The New Year’s Super Group:
Playing fast paced pump your fist and dance songs that span the last four decades of rock and pop.

We’ve been taking requests and have many, sure to get you moving, super hits in the bag! The early leaks: Eye of The Tiger by Survivor, Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen, and Pump it Up by Elvis Costello. Soon to be announced.. the pop contingent.. do I smell MJ? JT? dare I mention Phil Collins??

We’ve got guests galore digging through their favorite jams and signing up to sing and play. The early committers:

Adam Selzer (Norfolk and Western, M. Ward)
Cory Gray (Car Crash Lander)
Chris Robley (The Fear of Heights, The Sort Ofs)
Tahoe Jackson (The one and only)
Brian Perez (Musee Mechanique, Baby Ketten)
The Members of Flauta (an honest to goodness Flute Ensemble)
and many more to be announced… super secret goodness!

Horns! Strings! Flutes! everything you need to rock the party!

Complete with dancing girls shaking it in unison and holding down the sultry backups.. this is not a show to miss.

Platinum Pied Pipers, of Detroit/Brooklyn, are masterminds at making seamless, genre-bending, edgy and danceable tunes.

This New Year’s Eve show will be their first spent in Portland and if this town’s music scene is known for anything, it’s an appreciation for musicians pulling from all corners of the musical landscape to make something…worthwhile.

Review: Biglittlethings @ Image Theater + Win Tickets | Runs Through January 3

December 22, 2009 — PDXPIPELINE

By Tiffany Garner

Take a Kid or Take Some Acid

Imago theatre never fails to impress. Creativity and imagination just pour out of that brick building.  The moment this play started I was entranced and giggling like I was just another 4 year old in the theatre. There were giant bunnies on the stage! The gasp from the kids was adorable. In fact listening to their reactions was half the fun and I don’t even like kids. They were so fascinated and excited by everything that I became just as enthralled.

The costumes were fantastically creative, of course. There were frogs, fireflies and hippos (a big hit with the kids) and crazy acrobats jumping into their costumes.  The technical staff is to be applauded for their amazing work; they must have a blast coming up with this stuff. The lighting effects were a huge part of this performance, especially the underwater black light scenes. The crazy glowing fish caused a great stir with the kids and made me wonder why I hadn’t scheduled to see the play on a Friday night rather than a Sunday afternoon.

The whole thing basically felt like I was watching a live episode of The Muppets, one of those trippy early episodes that is. It was super fun the entire time. If you don’t have a kid and can’t find one to borrow make sure to go with someone that can cut loose and laugh out loud. This play really brings out the kid in you so let loose, gasp and giggle, oooh and ahhh…it feels great.

Tonight: Axe-Wielding Pyscho Santa @ Hollywood Theater | Grindhouse

December 22, 2009 — PDXPIPELINE

Tonight is Grindhouse Festival’s annual screening of “Silent Night, Deadly Night” and unlike last year, there is no snowpocalypse to mess things up.

From Grindhouse:

This Tuesday at 7:45 at the Hollywood Theatre, The Grindhouse Film Festival presents Portland’s greatest cinematic holiday tradition: the annual screening of SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT.  A 35mm print of the 1984 Christmas classic, plus, audience favorite horror trailers before the movie.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984) Since his parents were killed by a man in a Santa suit, a child grows up with a hatred of Santa Claus.  Now, as a young man, he is forced by his boss at a toy store to dress up as jolly Saint Nick, and is finally pushed over the edge.

On Christmas Eve, he becomes an axe-wielding psycho Santa, out to punish all who are naughty.  Classic scenes include the sledding beheading, the toy store montage, the bloody box knife as a little girl’s Christmas present, and crazy Grandpa terrifying little Billy with his tales of a rampaging killer Santa Claus.
