A self-titled “disinformationist”, Reggie Watts has confused and delighted audiences all over the country with his unique mix of comedy, beat boxing, music and looping machines. He’s so funny and irreverent, in fact, that he was recently handpicked by Conan O’Brien to open nightly on Conan’s entire North American “Prohibted From Being Funny on Television” tour.

Reggie had a few minutes to talk about why Portland is a near-perfect city with PDX Pipeline as he prepares to play Helium Comedy Club this week.

“The Love of Beer” Premiere! a documentary celebrating women in the craft beer industry.

The first annual PDX Beer Week is proud to to present the World Premiere of Alison Grayson’s documentary on women in the craft beer industry. More than two years in the making, the film examines why women, a small segment of the craft beer industry, do what they do from their everyday lives to their struggles in work. It’s not for feminism or equality, it’s for “The Love of Beer.”

Brought to you by the first annual PDX Beer Week with presenting sponsors Google Places, Yelp!, Deschutes Brewery, and Bend Brewing, the August 20 premiere at the world-renowned McMenamins Bagdad Theater will be an event you won’t want to miss. Much more than the first screening of the documentary, it will also feature a panel of special guests, including subjects of the film Bend Brewing Brewmaster Tonya Cornett; Sarah Pederson, owner of famous North Portland bottle shop, beer bar, and pasty tavern Saraveza; Founder of the Pink Boots Society Teri Fahrendorf; and Deschutes Brewery’s Veronica Vega.

All of the panelists will be speaking about the film and Read the rest of this entry »

When (Artist Formerly Known as Epoxies’ Ray Cathode) Tim Svengali was asked to record a cover for a tribute album for now SF based The Punk Group, he didn't hesitate to recruit three female voices to bring a different edge to the song.

Jessi Lixx started her singing career belting numbers from musicals in smoky halls across the country, while Miss Joseph had made a name as the bass player and sexy backing vocalist for The Bugs of Lightning. Double A had never had any musical experience until she was discovered by Svengali while singing in the shower.

Impressed by their choral prowess and clapping abilities, Read the rest of this entry »
