Rusty Cage is the one & only national tribute to Soundgarden. Both Chris Cornell & our lead vocalist hail from Seattle & both received years of vocal coaching from the infamous Maestro himself! Rusty Cage rocks with painstaking attention to vocal detail. Our seasoned musicians have professional associations with Morgan Freeman, Weezer & Screaming Trees.
Pretty Penny is Portland's ultimate tribute to the Stone Temple Pilots. The Stone Temple Pilots produced many hit songs during this decade & was led by their talented & overly ostentatious frontman, Scott Weiland. Pretty Penny's lead vocalist sounds nearly identical to Scott Weiland's tone & timbre with authentic phrasing & vocal dynamics throughout the setlist. In fact, no other STP tribute in the country comes closer, musically, to the original STP sound than Pretty Penny!

XRAYFM and Mississippi Studios present Local Love Letters, a monthly series featuring local Portland area artist. This month we've got:
Slender Gems:
Formed in 2018 by longtime DIY musician Jordan LeVeque, whose punk rock bonafides include a stint as the final resident/booker of North Portland standby Fail House, Slender Gems are a murderer’s row of some of the city’s finest musical talents. Equally influenced by the big, opened-tuned chords of 90s slacker-rock and the elegant shredding of 70s AOR, they are at once grandiose and intimate, with LeVeque’s acerbic observations of our spiritually bankrupt world, a resounding clarion call over their guitar pyrotechnics.
NUG:
Nug is a musical group made up of four friends in Portland, OR. Blending and bending the genres of Post Punk, Indie Rock, Shoegaze, Nu-metal, Psych Rock, and probably some other things, Nug has been described we-think-affectionately as “Parquet Courts meets Grateful Dead” and “a jam band for people who hate jam bands” and “really friendly guys making loud music”. Nug’s debut record “Kerfuffle” released in February of 2025 and remains released to this very day. Thanks!
Killmer:
Killmer is a rock band formed by three best friends: Nico Carrera (Guitar/Vocals), Austin Gardner (Drums), and Brett Sparrey (Bass/Vocals). Before forming the band they attended many shows together, such as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Wand, White Denim, and Ty Segall, as well as many inspiring performances at Pickathon. These sonic adventures forged Killmer’s sound into a bionic blend of psychedelic rock with soulful blues overtones, teeming with an undercurrent of garage rock and punk. Utilizing both improvisation and songwriting acumen to put on shows that are bombastic, yet intimate, they implement dual lead vocals to trade off within verses or blend lush harmonies, creating vastly unique soundscapes. With an EP (2024’s Lost and Profound) and debut full-length album (2025’s primo!) in their rear-view, Killmer has already started work on their second studio effort - due autumn 2026 - that proves they are on a journey worth following.

Made up by Elijah Gibbins-Croft, Oey James, and Ian Robles, Foxtide is a byproduct of being bred by the beach and raised by a DIY house show scene. The SoCal three-piece was formed around garage jam sessions and earned their cult following through the intense vitality of their live shows.
First starting to release music in 2019, it was the band's second EP Visons in 2021 that took them from a hometown secret to a band to watch nationally. Moving into the chapter of their next project, Foxtide is abandoning the idea that they need to create "perfect" music, and simply making what they like to listen to. Tinged with the aloofness of early 2000s rock, while experimenting with the formulas of modern pop, all threads are knotted in the authenticity behind Foxtide's unrelenting love for music.

Fresh off electric festival debuts at Lollapalooza and All Things Go in late 2025, Caroline amassed 300k monthly listeners and landed a huge feature in the best-selling game 'Dispatch.' Her fan favorite sleeper hit 'Kissing Someone Else' accumulated over 6 million streams after the song was featured in Episode 1 and the game sold over a million copies in its first week. 2025 also brought Caroline the viral collaboration with fellow indie pop artist Maris with 'Give Me A Sign.' The song landed Caroline a feature for the second year in a row on Spotify's 'Best Pop Songs of 2025' and a co-headline tour. Expect a larger-than-life energy to her iridescent make-up, Bowie-esque boot-and-blazer get-ups and ready-to-risk-it-all ballads that are abundant in brutally honest and vulnerable storytelling lyrics

St John's Bizarre is a uniquely curated celebration that will kick off the summer street fair season in Portland. The Bizarre brings music, crafts, and food to the crowds who traditionally attended the St. Johns Parade. There is a amazing lineup of musicians, artisans, makers, creators, food vendors, community groups, and more. The Bizarre is coordinated by a dedicated group of volunteers, all St. Johns residents who work throughout the year with local businesses and the community to make the event happen.
St John's Story - How great it would be if all those people who came down for the parade had a reason to stay and spend their time getting better acquainted with our historic business district and many shops and restaurants.The goal wasn’t to upstage the Parade, but rather to build on those two hours of fun to squeeze out a whole day’s worth! And almost 20 years later, the Bizarre is recognized citywide as one of the best street festivals in Portland!

Cornelius
Cornelius is the brainchild of Japanese multi-instrumentalist Keigo
Oyamada. A performing musician since his teens, Oyamada created his
creative alter-ego (the name is an homage to the Planet of the Apes), in
the early 1990s from the ashes of his previous project, Flipper's
Guitar.
With the 1997 release of Fantasma, Cornelius gained
international recognition for his cut and paste style reminiscent of
American counterparts Beck and The Beastie Boys and was released
internationally by Matador Records. Being called a 'modern day Brian
Wilson' for his orchestral-style arrangements and production techniques,
Cornelius subsequently became one of the most sought after
producer/remixers in the world, working with a wide range of artists
including Blur, Beck, Bloc Party, MGMT, and James Brown.
With
2002's Point, Cornelius' music took a quantum shift, going from sampling
'found sounds' to looping organic elements and creating lush
soundscapes. Using water drops as the rhythmic backbone of 'Drop' on
his vocoder-infused cover of 'Brazil', the album dazed and amazed fans
and set the path for the next phase of his career.
2007 brought
this philosophy to an even higher level with the release of Sensuous.
Cornelius' live shows are known around the world for spectacular visuals
(all perfectly synchronized to the performance), custom lighting that
doesn't simply augment the performance, but becomes another instrument
within it, and a full band of equally talented and diverse players.
The
companion piece to the album Sensurround + B Sides, earned the
nomination for 'Best Surround Sound Album' at the 2009 GRAMMY Awards.
The
summer of 2016 saw the release of Fantasma Remastered, on Lefse
Records. The package, a 2LP reissue of his classic album, also included
4 additional outtakes and earned Pitchfork's 'Best New Reissue'.
Cornelius
has recorded music for Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,
scored the anime mega-film Ghost in the Shell Arise, performed as the
backbone of Yoko Ono's reformed Plastic Ono Band, played the Hollywood
Bowl with Yellow Magic Orchestra, and co-wrote and produced the Japanese
artist salyu x salyu.
