Saturday: Red Fang, YOB, Witch Mountain, Eternal Tapestry
Sunday: Built To Spill, Mikal Cronin (acoustic duo), The Fresh and Only's, Brett Netson & Snakes
FULL Line-Up Here!
While psychedelic music covers a range of styles and genres, it is inspired by psychedelic culture and the attempt to replicate the mind altering experiences that started in mid-'60s folk, rock and blues. The Crystal Ballroom, Portland’s historical proving ground for psychedelia’s ever-evolving forms, hosts this celebration of this century’s interpretations of the artform. With events taking place all over the Crystal Property including Blasphemous Brew Fest in Lolas, performances in Al's Den and Ringlers Pub, not to mention a ridiculously awesome line up of todays stoner rock rotating through the main Crystal Ballroom stage for three nights!
LOW is coming to town!
'Don't break my Grammy streak.'
We have worked with many of the great engineer/producers. Jeff Tweedy has been on our side of the microphone for over 25 years, however with engineer (and fellow Grammy winner) Tom Schick, he has of late become a formidable and eclectic producer. He spoke a language we understood, but then took us effortlessly into the mystery.
We've made many records, and you know our M.O.: slow, quiet, sometimes melancholy, and, we hope, sometimes pretty…
How is this different from any other Low record?
- Mimi sings lead on five of the eleven songs (she usually only does one or two, despite being a fan favorite).
- Piano, lots of piano… and an acoustic guitar.
- Songs about intimacy, the drug war, the class war, plain old war war, archaeology, and love.
Thank you for your time again and please enjoy what we made. I think it's beautiful."

Dear Bill Murray,
We'd like to invite you to Portland to party this Halloween. We're throwing a "Ghostbusters Ball" at the Eagles Lodge on SE Hawthorne and it's just your kind of place -- cheap drinks, saucy old bartenders, no pretense and plenty of dark corners to creep around in. We'll be playing a ton of killer dance tunes (all four of us DJs play at Dig A Pony regularly...a bar we hear you've been to). Be prepared for a litany of underrepresented 80s tracks + early 90s electro and freestyle. There will be some cool vids projected, too.
We know that you like to ride your golf cart to parties in places that you don't live so we've arranged for a golf cart be on the tarmac when your flight arrives so that you can roll to the party in proper Bill Murray fashion.
Ok, well, let us know if you think you'll make it.
Your Pals,
Cooky, Bobby, Lamar & Jimbo

Sonic Cinema presents PARADISE IS THERE, A MEMOIR BY NATALIE MERCHANT.
Singer/songwriter Natalie Merchant released “Tigerlily” 20 years ago. The album went on to sell 5 million copies and touched countless numbers of fans. Now Merchant has re-recorded the album and uses the opportunity to tell her story, the story behind the songs, and the impact the album has had on her audience.
This film is a personal account of the beloved singer’s journey. Told through her voice and the voices of her fans, it illustrates how powerfully the songs from “Tigerlily”—’Carnival,’ ‘River,’ Wonder,’ ‘The Letter,’ and more—have impacted her audience.
Through the film, we get to know Merchant in a new way and appreciate the humanity of the woman that is reflected in her songs. Filled with archival footage from her early days fronting the seminal alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs, live performances, and interviews with musicians, friends, and fans.
