They have excited crowds at over 100 club dates and festivals in 2010 and this year’s ongoing “All The Way Live” tour far exceeds the volume of previous years. Amazingly, their stage performance improves each night as the electricity between band members rises to new heights.

This fluidity is not something you can manufacture, it is an authentic and exciting collaboration that is the Pimps of Joytime. With the “All The Way Live” tour, The Pimps are offering their fans and music lovers alike a chance to experience the electrifying rhythms that lace the upcoming album, Janxta Funk!

Fruition CD Release Show w/ Tango Alpha Tango
Friday, January 20
9 p.m.| $10 | 21+

Bossanova Ballroom
722 E. Burnside Street
More Info & Tickets: www.bossanovaballroom.com

Come see these folk rock locals while you still can! With the release of their new CD “It Won’t Be Long,” things look promising for them to hit the national stage soon. The first 75 people to buy advance tickets at $10 will receive a free copy of the CD – how could you go wrong at that price?

The new, self-titled release from Portland band Tango Alpha Tango sits in that uncomfortable place between EP and full-length-it runs seven songs, just under half an hour-but everything else about the record fits perfectly. Starting with the laidback country swoon of “Oh Mama,” the quartet then launches into a slow-building motorik guitar riff in “Mona Lisa’s Death.” Elsewhere, the band continues that expert and surprising balance of folk noir and space rock, even finding room for a glossy pop chorus in “Give of the Summer.”

This is a veritable summit of musical Titans and perhaps the most impressively talented collective of players we've had in the room in some time!

Wayne Horvitz (Fender Rhodes: Zony Mash), Joe Doria (Hammond Organ: McTuff), Bobby Previte (Drums: Charlie Hunter, Coalition of the Willing) and Tim Young (Guitars) aim to astound the ears and tickle the intellect with an improv-laden evening of jaw-dropping musical excursions!

Good News! The Blazers beat the New Orleans Hornets on Monday and saved us from four straight losses.  More good news! The are playing Atlanta this evening and with all the Hawks injuries and inconsistencies, they could win another road game. This game is nationally televised on ESPN and at a time the rest of the country is still awake. Therefore, many people who don’t stay up to watch 10PM East Coast start times will actually see our team play and journalists will likely write about how great or terrible they are tomorrow morning.

The games starts at 5PM on ESPN and Comcast Sports Network. If you do not have television or want a good Portland establishment to enjoy the game with friends, here are several suggestions from our sponsors.

Preview - Portland Trail Blazers @ Atlanta Hawks:  Read the rest of this entry »

By Will Conwell

In the last week the Portland Timbers have seen a flurry of activity with players both coming and going. A big trade, a big signing, and six draft picks all happened since last week's update and with under a week to go before the first practice of 2012 the Timbers still have moves to make.

Cooper Traded To New York

One of the most high profile players from the Timbers first year in Major League Soccer, Kenny Cooper was the team's leading scorer and the biggest name fielded by the Timbers in 2011. All that, however, could not convince the Timbers front office to turn down a trade from the New York Red Bulls for Cooper on the morning of the Superdraft. Read the rest of this entry »
