Call of the Wild - A Camp-Inspired Celebration to Benefit Oregon Wild
Call of the Wild is an event like no other to benefit the work of Oregon Wild, our state’s premier conservation group for over 40 years. This event features casual flannel instead of black ties, campfire circles instead of white tablecloths, and custom local bites galore instead of pre-selected entrees. Guests will enjoy live and silent auctions (stay tuned for a full list of auction items), local food and drink, live music, and more. Be part of the celebration by purchasing your advance ticket. We hope you’ll join us!
Check back frequently for more details on all the silent auction packages, or follow Call of the Wild 2016 on Facebook to stay tuned as we release more details and auction prizes!
Advance tickets are just $50 (the price goes up to $60 at the door so get yours now!)
A camp-inspired night of festivities, Call of the Wild is a chance to see stunning photography from our 12th annual Outdoor Photo Contest, mingle with wilderness and wildlife lovers from across the state, and celebrate everything you love about Oregon. This year’s benefit will feature:
- The unveiling of the winning photographs from our 12th annual Outdoor Photo Contest;
- A live and silent auction featuring framed prints of the Photo Contest finalists, rafting and adventure trips, outdoor gear and apparel, packages for hikers, photographers, climbers, fishing enthusiasts, kayakers, beer lovers, foodies, and more;
- Tasty local food, local wine, and beer from Oregon Brewshed® Alliance partners;
- Wild-crafted cocktails by Merit Badge featuring local spirits;
- Live music from Northwest artists courtesy of Marmoset Music; and
- Our very own trail mix bar, sponsored by Trailhead Credit Union
What's a camp-inspired party without a few tents?!
Consider becoming a Tent Sponsor ($500 for 10 tickets) and you and your guests will receive special perks at the party. Since this isn’t a sit-down dinner event, you won’t be assigned a table, but your group can gather around one of the campfire circles. As a Tent Sponsor, you will be recognized at the event and your guests will receive complimentary camp mugs for the signature wild-crafted cocktail. Sign up for your Tent Sponsorship here.

Twin Peaks
When 19-year-old Chicagoans Cadien Lake James, Clay Frankel, Connor Brodner, and Jack Dolan finished high school a year ago, they were under the impression that things had to change. They were expected to go to college, and more importantly, had to deal with the reality of breaking up their band, Twin Peaks, which had just started to get some notice. Three of them committed to Evergreen State College in Olympia with the idea of keeping some semblance of the band together, but it was clear that there was a magic the four of them had. All this happened BEFORE a pivotal self-booked, three-week tour in the summer of '12. They had just recorded their debut album, Sunken, in Cadien's basement, hit the road in earnest, and everywhere they went, one thing remained the same. After seeing the energy, power, and exuberance of their live show, people in every town and members of every band they played with urged them to see this thing through. However, real life is rarely so kind or easy. Deposits were paid, dorm rooms reserved, promises made. Cadien, Connor, and Jack were headed north to Olympia.
It's a funny thing how clarity and circumstance can set and reset the table. After one semester at Evergreen, peoples' compliments still ringing in their ears, the self-described "industrious dudes" decided to quit school and give Twin Peaks a fair shake. They returned to Chicago in December, reunited with Clay, and geared up for their SXSW debut. Esquire even gave them a nod as an "Artist to Watch" at SXSW, calling them "A bunch of dirty, precocious underage kids raised on a steady diet of Jay Reatard and their parents' records...Twin Peaks deploy sugary pop hooks with the infectious enthusiasm of a high school punk band." The guys moved back in with their folks, looked into part-time jobs, and began planning the re-write of the first, post-high school chapter of their lives. The feeling was palpable: Things were about to take off.
So here we stand, ready to offer Twin Peaks to the wider world. A record full of the youthful excitement, sure to elicit "oh yeahs," and if you're not a total square, some body movin'. Sunken is out July 9th on Autumn Tone.
We went all over the country and grew our hair out a little bit,͟ says guitarist/singer Tony Esposito about the past year spent on the road with the likes of Deerhoof,Young Widows, Priests, and more.
After signing to Polyvinyl in early 2014 and releasing a self-titled EP that blasts through six tracks in a breakneck 15 minutes, the Reapers — Esposito, keyboardist Ryan Hater, bassist Sam Wilkerson, and drummer Nick Wilkerson — soon began working on new material to fill out their set.
Enter White Reaper Does It Again: a raucous debut full-length from a bunch of barely 20-somethings who have more fun on a Tuesday night than you do on a Saturday.
Recorded in White Reaper's hometown of Louisville, KY, with engineer Kevin Ratterman (Young Widows, Coliseum),WRDIA is a pure rock 'n' roll adrenaline shot: vicious guitar scratches, elastic bass, sugary keyboard leads, and a thudding drums that will inevitably give your heartbeat a new rhythm.
Modern Vices
Self-proclaimed dirty doo-wop, Modern Vices are Alex, Peter, Thomas, Patrick, and Miles. They hail from Chicago. Noir in tone, their sound resides somewhere between late '50s croon and wet garage rock snarl. Their self-recorded, eponymous, LP drops in October via Los Angeles' Autumn Tone Records. A romantic revolution.

Vocalist and composer Xenia Rubinos crafts movingly powerful songs dipping in and out of genre and structure to create a sound that is fearlessly her own. Xenia's powerhouse vocals are at the center of her music which grows from a wide range of influences from R&B to Hip-Hop to Caribbean rhythms and jazz all delivered with a soulful punk aura. Her debut album Magic Trix was released in 2013 by Ba Da Bing! Records to wide critical acclaim. Pitchfork lauded the radiant singer as "a unique new pop personality" while a profile in The New Yorker described her work as "rhythmically fierce, vocally generous music that slips through the net of any known genre". Xenia's energetic live show and presence echoes some of the larger than life iconic singers she admired as a child including Judy Garland, Nina Simone and La Lupe while her powerhouse vocals recall the pop sensibility of Mariah Carey and soulfulness of Erykah Badu. Touring the US and Europe extensively, she has played more than 150 shows both as a headliner and supporting act for such diverse bands as Man Man, Battles, Coco Rosie, and Deerhoof. Xenia has been hard at work on her followup full length LP due out Spring 2016.
DJ set from Milton Campbell aka Ohmega Watts:
Producing since 1997 and MCing since 1993 the Ohmega Watts resume includes two solo records on Ubiquity Records, The Find (2005) and Watts Happening (2007). MC/producer of the group Lightheaded (Tres Records) and a 7" under the name M64, which was comprised of Ohmega on production and Ragen Fykes on the vocals, released on Record Breakin (2009.) Ohmega is also an avid DJ who has toured extensively in the U.S. and abroad including Australia, the E.U. and Japan all the while expanding his record collection, and musical influences. He's performed, DJ'd alongside and supported artists/bands including: Galactic, Lifesavas, The Breakestra, De La Soul, Quantic, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Waajeed, Ge-Ology, Kon & Amir, DJ Spinna, Bobbito Garcia, Rich Medina, Cosmo Baker, and the list goes on. He's also a freelance Graphic Designer/Photographer making him a full-time creative.
Brookfield Duece:
Brookfield Duece arrived on the hip-hop scene in the early 2000's as Duece, a 20 year old rapper whose style provided a chilled, lyrical, storytelling alternative to the rising street dance influenced sound controlling the Bay Area. With soul samples, 808 drums, and funk strings under detailed lyrical ability taught to him by his late cousin Eugene Vasquez from Rochester, NY, Duece brought a message in every song while having both a west and east coast feel. Being the best of both worlds in style put Duece on the frontline in re building an underground hip-hop subculture for the Bay Area.
In 2016, Duece moved from Oakland to Portland to engage with his heaviest fanbase area while continuing to record and build for a debut mainstream release. Continue to look for new things from this artist in 2016
MATTY:
Considered one of the most consistent and talented artists in the Northwest region, MATTY has solidified his reputation through 7 albums and 10 projects total over 7 years. Following his debut album in 2009, MATTY has had an incredible streak of releases, tours and content. A dominant force on stage, his cleaver lyrics, smooth flow and raw talent has allowed him to share the stage with some of the industries best. E-40, Twista, Kid Ink, Too Short, Tech N9ne and a plethora of others, it's easy to say that MATTY has a consistent track record in the studio and on stage.
His networking ability is one of his strongest traits working with producers and other artists from all over the world including Portland heavy hitter's Illmaculate, HANiF, Mic Capes and Tope along with out of state artists such as Mistah F.A.B, Marv Won and Chase Moore.
Beat set by the one and only TROX Diesel:
Samuel Troxel, bka Trox, is a Portland bred and based producer and DJ. His introduction to music started with taking drum lessons during the 2nd grade and eventually graduating to downloading an early version of Fruity Loops in middle school. In addition to working with almost every Northwest heavyweight, he has also crafted tracks for 50 Cent, Ab-Soul, Royce 5'9" and more. He currently is in the process of releasing his collaborative project with Ty Farris titled Room 39.

The Portland Black Music Festival celebrates the immense variety of local Black contributions to music in genres including, but not limited to, jazz, soul, and R & B. Encouraging appreciation for Black culture and heritage, the festivities will highlight high quality, live musical performances from homegrown talent and will emphasize community empowerment.
Over the course of a year, trumpeter/educator Farnell Newton and musician/producer Tony Ozier began to grow the festival idea in conversations, during rehearsals, on road trips, and at family gatherings. These conversations grew, and the festival was publicly announced on an April 2016 segment of OPB's "State of Wonder" hosted by April Baer. Baer's interview with Ozier and Newton led them to announce the festival and speak it into reality. Once plans were made public, Newton reached out to DJ and community activist DJ O.G.One to partner and develop the festival.
This trio of artists and active community members has used their music connections and community resources to secure support from media partners (including KMHD, Oregon Music News, KBOO, 107.5, Portland Radio Project, and XRAY.FM) and to establish the festival in its first year. They are also planning for the festival's growth and possible impact in years to come. Over time, Newton, Ozier, and DJ O.G. One hope to cultivate a stronger music community and to give participating Portland musicians increased exposure. Ultimately, the goal is to empower Black artists and to bring people together to celebrate and work together on musical and social issues.
XRAY.FM joins PICA in presenting TBA: 16. Here is a calendar with all of the upcoming events.
From September 08–18, 2016, PICA’s Time-Based Art Festival activates the city of Portland, Oregon, with contemporary art projects that bring artists and audiences together, creating a vibrant community through live performances, music, screenings, workshops, talks, and visual art installations.
TBA is resolutely interdisciplinary, and champions those artists who are challenging forms and working across mediums, from dance to performance to visual art. TBA's spectacular 14th year features artists from near and far that urgently reflect our current cultural moment. TBA is a global festival, exposing audiences to artists from regions not normally presented in the US, with projects this year hailing from Lebanon, Bulgaria, South Korea, France, and beyond.

1st Annual SUPERFAB YARD SALE
Featuring 15 designers/ XRAY.fm DJs/ Food Trucks & Beer!
Saturday, Sept 3rd
10am - 7pm
2524 SE Division St
Superfab is a design lab and fabrication house driven by craftsmen who think fluently in the languages of Architecture and Design. Wielding tools both new and old, we produce exceptional custom work in production level scales and orders of one, alike.
Over the last 30 months, we’ve produced both an exceptional amount of good work and a considerable lot of off-cuts, rejects and goof-ups in the process - materials which most of the time end up at a landfill somewhere far, far off-camera. Not being big fans of waste, we’ve saved piles and piles of these materials and this summer, the time has come to turn them into good things instead.
With the help of a select group of our favorite designers and makers we’re going to do just that and sell these good things at a late-summer Saturday parking lot party at our shop on SE 26th & Division Street. Proceeds from all sales will be split between the makers and our chosen charity, the one and only XRAY.FM. So come Saturday, Sept. 3rd, join us to collect a cool thing or two and take in some tasty food, cold drinks and good vibes from XRAY DJs in the process.
Featuring Designers: Nicholas Musso, Jason Rens, OMFGco, Mike McCoy, Brian Pietrowski, Nate Shapiro, Travis Edgar, Liam Drain; upstarts Conor Davidson, Sam Tucker & Cole Lendrum; plus Andy Powell, Dave Collins and the rest of team Superfab..
