Welcome to the 2011 Portland Masquerade Ball, where Portland’s premiere Bands, Dj’s, Artists and Creators join forces for an epic celebration of life and the pursuit of FUN!

This years Masquerade Ball is featuring:

MARCHFOURTH MARCHING BAND: marchfourthmarchingband.com
MarchFourth Marching Band is a kaleidoscope of musical and visual energy that inspires dancing in an atmosphere of celebration. The show will take you on a journey from the swamps of Louisiana to the gypsy camps of eastern Europe to the African jungle by way of Brazil, echoing the deepest grooves of American funk, rock, and jazz then boiling it all together in cinematic fashion with high-stepping stilt-acrobatics and dazzling dancers.

SOLOVOX: http://solovox.com/
An electrifying live performer and master of synths, midi, and the dancefloor; Solovox writes all-original compositions spanning house, breakbeat, cosmic funk, ambient, improv, and rock. He is a perennial headliner in Portland and has seen his music played nationally on television, film, and most stirringly across the Playa of the Black Rock Desert.

JUST PEOPLE: http://JustPeopleMusic.com/
JUST PEOPLE are the dedicated offspring of a generation of movers and shakers. Take the eloquence of Bob Dylan, mixed with the sheer power of Led Zeppelin, add a dash of The Beatles and for a nice after taste throw in some Talking Heads. The result is best described by Darcy Wallace of the Oregon Voice: ¬Å“JUST PEOPLE are tough to pin down, but damn it, it just sounds so good.¬Â

MR. WU: http://soundcloud.com/mr_wu
Having shared the stage as an opener for talented acts such as; Blockhead, Signal Path, Mochipet, Lorn, Splatinum, Nicoluminous and others, Mr.Wu's ¬Å“dark and heavy meets fun and funky¬Â sets keep the audience engaged from beginning to end.

    I would love to win tickets to this! I also noticed that those who purchase tickets prior to the event will receive a coupon to get a mask. I would like to go to this if I win tickets, but am also wondering if winning tickets also gets me a coupon? If so, I’m in! If not, I’m still in, assuming I win, that is.

    I am flying into Portland that weekend to be with my girlfriend. We have been unable to see each other for 2 months because she was in Guatemala for a nursing rotation and I had to start a job out of state. Her favorite band is MarchFourth and she loves hoola-hooping(she brought a travel hoop to Guatemala), fire dancers, stilts, etc. I would just love to bring her to this event, it would make her so happy!

    There aren’t enough opportunities for masquerade balls these days! Just like the Venetians back in the day who disguised their identity with beautiful masks so that people of all classes could enter the party, I’d love to wear my Italian Venetian mask — and cape — to the type of party it was especially made for! What’s a beautiful mask without the perfect party to wear it to!

    I aspire to be a stilt walker and would like to see up close and personal how it is done! Also, currently my only life experience with “masks” is watching the 90s Jim Carrey movie and I need a new reference point.

    Because David Bowie’s delicious role in Labyrinth–especially during the masquerade ball scene–has left me pining to attend one ever since.
