Described by many as a band where every member has equal shred capabilities, Mars Retrieval Unit brings it to the table with their fusion of spacey funk, rock and psychedelia. As a unit, MRU defines the word genre-hoppers, and leaves no musical rock unturned Read the rest of this entry »

Tobacco sometimes runs with a group called Black Moth Super Rainbow. With his Tobacco mission, he works alone. Tobacco’s tools are analog synths, tape machines, and deformed incantations from throats unknown. His music is a wash of distortion and melody over jagged beats. It amalgamates hypnotic, cosmopolitan pop, gritty, propulsive hip-hop and a night full of fevered dreams. It buoys the spirit, braces the nerves, and smuggles disoriented paranoia deep into the subconscious. These are anxiously driven, effortlessly smooth and unapologetically badass sounds of inner nature. The man has established Read the rest of this entry »

TEDx Portland
Saturday, April 30

Gerding Theater at The Armory
128 NW Eleventh Avenue

At its core, Portland, Oregon, is a city with imagination and an insatiable desire to learn and to create. Please join us in celebrating what we hope will be the first of many exciting and inspiring TEDxPortland events to come.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations). Guest speakers include Spencer Beebe, president of EcoTrust, Karen Brooks, foodie and Portland Monthly author, and Read the rest of this entry »
