Have an event coming up you’re looking to spread the word about? 

Send an email to info@xray.fm to see how we can help!

When emailing please include: 

  1. Any relevant info about the event (dates/times, location, ticket links, info sheets etc.)
  2. What you're looking for from us, preferably in the subject or early in the email.* This could be things like being a media sponsor, paid underwriting packages, inviting us to attend, PSAs* AV services, getting an on-air interview, booking an XRAY DJ, having us be present there, etc.

Timeline: For those new to working with us, without an established event promotion relationship or agreement, we need to receive your submission at least three weeks prior to your event for potential inclusion on our events calendar, and preferably six weeks if you are interested in a radio spot about your event (i.e. underwriting). We are unlikely to consider last minute requests. 

Please Note: We have a very limited capacity and unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests. The clearer your ask and the more obvious of a fit with our programming and/or mission, the more likely we'll prioritize it. We unfortunately cannot respond to every request, but welcome you nudging/following up with us to get it on our radar if it's a good fit and we haven't replied.

*Only nonprofits and/or things benefitting the wider community (such as something like demonstrations, disaster relief, mutual aid campaigns, etc.) are eligible for PSAs typically, with anything else being up to our discretion and typically done on media trade, paid campaigns, or as an act of good will because we feel strongly about something. All scripts need to be approved by us for our FCC compliance standards--even if a recorded file already exists.

World Famous Kenton Club

Get your KICKS like It's 1966!

TIME - 8 pm to the Midnight Hour
WHERE - The World Famous Kenton Club
ADMISSION -  $10-$20 sliding scale (cash or Venmo)

Flame: Vintage Vinyl Dance Party🔥 blazes back onto the Portland nightlife scene with The Spirit of '66!   The year 1966 was historic for hot dance records made for Go-Go nightclubs and discotheques! 

Let me swing you into '66 with sizzlin' sides by the likes of The Ikettes, Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66, Gladys Knight & the Pips, The Kinks, Brenda Lee, Wilson Pickett, Lulu, The Creation, The Supremes, and SO many other legends and shoulda-been-superstars!

Familiar Faves and Rarities!

As always, we gather in love, lift each other up, and recharge our souls as we take a break from the troubles of the day and get lost on the dance floor!

Dress in threads that invoke the spirit of the event (however you choose to interpret it.)

We danced our way into summer by celebrating the 50th anniversary of dance records from 1976.  NOW, we'll flip into Fall by celebrating the 60th anniversary of dance records from 1966!

➡️ Like most DJ Action Slacks dance parties, this event is open to all kind-hearted people, but is geared toward the Portland LGBTQmunity & its allies

➡️ ➡️  Usually my Kenton Club parties are on first Saturdays but I had a scheduling conflict so THIS first party of my indoor dance season lands on a second FRIDAY.

CODA is a Led Zeppelin tribute super group with a cast of (7) world class musicians. This All Star cast come together in recreating the eternal epic sounds of the original studio recordings from the greatest rock & roll band in the world's history with a full 7-piece ensemble of career A-list musicians that deliver the most authentic, transformative audible experience since Led Zeppelin played their last concert in 2007 @ London's O2 Arena.

CODA transcends an art form that was created 50 years ago now played live by pitch perfect Susan Kendall lead vocals, drummer Jeff Kathan who could be John Bonham's own descendant, shredding lead guitarist Manuel Morais, keyboards & vocalist Joe Carolus, Dirk Leuenberger rhythm, lead and 12-string guitars, virtuoso bassist Todd Gowers, and Stephanie Smithlin harmony vocals , all culminating in a sonic explosion that would make Jimmy Page proud if he were seated beside you.

All Ages // 7:00 pm Doors / Tickets $41

Sondre Lerche has always been a romantic. Whether it be the songs he wrote as a teen for his critically acclaimed 2001 debut, Faces Down, or starring as the love-lorn Christian in the Norwegian stage production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. In 2026, though, his love of, well, love is shot through with a kind of defiance.

The result is Lerche's 11th studio album, Acrobats, an eight-song suite that pingpongs between joy and introspection, loss and love. Recorded across nine studios with a gaggle of creatives, it's a perhaps more sobering followup up 2022's Avatars of Love - although no less brimming with passion. "If there's one theme to this album, I suppose it is finding love in times of great unrest and hopelessness," Lerche says. And that's precious.

Tōth

Brooklyn-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Toth (Alex Toth of Rubblebucket) returns with his third album, And The Voice Said. Known for emotionally potent songwriting shot through with wit and humor, Toth creates live shows that feel less like performances and more like communal gatherings - heart-on-sleeve, deeply felt, and open to everyone. His stage presence is magnetic, his banter delightfully unhinged, and his trumpet playing soulful and expressive. Co-produced by Grammy-nominated artist Caroline Rose and featuring Kimbra, And The Voice Said captures Toth in full bloom as both a singer and visionary artist.
