Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (The Cure tribute)
Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is a tribute band dedicated to channeling the dark, dreamy energy of The Cure. From the aching beauty of Pictures of You to the pop bounce of Friday I'm in Love, they capture the band's signature sound with passion and precision. Fronted by Rob LeFebvre on vocals and wig duties, with Ragon Linde, Jason Tate, Charlie Kent-Barker, and Daniel Vega rounding out the lineup, they deliver a live show that's equal parts reverent and electric. For die-hards and newcomers alike, it's a nostalgic trip back to the heyday of alternative rock.

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.

Hailing from Philadelphia and now based in the vibrant city of Charleston, SC, alt indie hip-hop duo Little Stranger (Kevin and John Shields, no relation but best friends) have spent years honing their signature sound and perfecting their version of the 'organized chaos' that a Little Stranger live show entails. In an era where genre is increasingly irrelevant, Little Stranger delivers a fresh take on melodic hip-hop garnering comparisons to newer artists like Remi Wolf, Still Woozy, and Marc Rebillet but also the golden age of hip hop running into pop epitomized by early 2000s Timberland, Gorillaz and NERD. Between John's melodic singer-songwriter magnetism, Kevin's in-your-face delivery, and an overall undeniable groove the duo has become known for their unique sound, - garnering millions of streams, playing countless sold-out shows and major festivals like Lollapalooza, Governor's Ball, Hangout Fest, BottleRock, Levitate Music & Arts Festival, and more.
A musical lighthouse, shining a resilient light for everyone that has had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, Tropidelic has arrived on the national stage. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, a city rich in character and music history, this six-piece performance powerhouse carves their own path with an independent mentality. Front man Roads, explores feelings more than sounds, seeing where the emotional travel can take him, while valuing being comfortable and honest.
Brooklyn-based MC / Producer, Jarv started making music in 2009 and put out his first official release 'Jarvage Vol.1' in 2016.

Born out of the rhythms and hush of the Pacific Northwest, meet Essie and The Hum. At the center of the 4-piece band, Essie’s lyrical voice and chant-filled melodies bring her listeners into an ethereal, analog and electric realm.
Drawing influence from the intimacy of Julia Jacklin, the atmospheric grooves of Men I Trust, the raw storytelling of Big Thief, and the timeless edge of Dire Straits, Essie and her crew blend casual laid back rock with indie folk flavor.
All original songs are written by Essie, whose guitar and vocals are lifted by the smooth rhythm section of Jaxx Ward (bass) and Steven Douglas (drums), with textured playing from guitarist/vocalist Paul Danowski. Expect a range of sound, from slow-burn ballads to indie-rock-bordering-funk/punk.
Johnny Franco and His Real Brother Dom
São Paulo natives, Johnny Franco and his Real Brother Dom, are shaking up the Portland, Oregon music scene with their charm and charisma. Serving up 5 day weekends every week, no stage is too big or too small for their iconic and hilarious brand of entertainment - including but not limited to songs.
Their humorous delivery of crowd-favorite originals like 'Ones and Pennies' and 'Cucumber Vodka' along with a unique interpretation of the classics produce an irresistible urge to move, to laugh, to cry and to applaud.
Cafe Humm's original A Capella arrangements span from upbeat dance music to soft and mellow folk classics. Born in living rooms and backyards, the group is a collaborative collection of singers and composers who share a love of music, community, and each other.

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.
All Ages // 7 pm Doors // Tickets $24
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.
All Ages // 7 pm Doors // Tickets $28
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!
