The Foreign Exchange (Phonte + Nicolay) return to Portland in support of their third release Authenticity. The Foreign Exchange were nominated for a Grammy for Best Urban Alternative Performance for their 2008 single ¬Å“Daykeeper¬Â and named as Jet Magazine's 5 Rising Indie Artists. See their show live at Someday Lounge, along with Zo!, Sy Smith, Jeanne Jolly and a live band.

With Phonte's rapping/singing and Nicolay's producing, the two found each other online and haven't looked back since. A soulful love story, their first album Connected was done all online before they even met.

The kids these days are getting much more goodness than when I was at PSU. Today (apparently been open about a month), we got an email that Rogue brewing has opened a bar…I mean study hall area where Paccinni’s restaurant was on the Portland State Park Blocks (Montgomery & Park).

If you ever went to Portland State, you know that there is a lack of quality bars in the area. For non-students and former students, now you have somewhere to go after listening to bagpipers and didgeridoo-ers at the Farmers Market.

Alberta’s hipster dive bar, The Know, plays host to a free show Tuesday night by toyboat toyboat toyboat. Jonathan Boober at Allmusic.com describes their sound: ¬Å“If Raymond Scott, Martin Denny and Bootsy Collins decided to form a band at Ennio Morricone's house, it might sound something like Toyboat Toyboat Toyboat.¬Â

The Know
2026 NE Alberta Street

toyboat toyboat toyboat combines the heavy intensity of punk with catchy, quirky melodies reminiscent of the golden years of be-bop, along with rhythms from the Caribbean and Balkans. The music is unique but accessible, and always unpredictable.

Audience members have remarked that it sounds like ¬Å“Fugazi meets Miles,¬Â ¬Å“Afrobeat meets Melvins,¬Â ¬Å“Zappa meets Beastie Boys¬Â and ¬Å“Sun Ra meets Devo.¬Â

The instrumentation is unusual, but the results will make you boogie and mosh like any of the classic punk (or funk) heavies. The brainy lyrics and rhythmic twists will appeal to the prog-minded, yet the raw sounds are pure indie rock.

The group mixes rock’n'roll guitar, vocals and drums with the Drum Buddy (a rare light-controlled analog-synth-meets-turntable) and trumpet-played both acoustically and electronically through effects.
