A new documentary on the untold story of Stiv Bators - the charismatic singer who was the original embodiment of the self-destructive punk frontman with the DEAD BOYS, before embarking on a solo career. He went on to team up with members of SHAM 69 in THE WANDERERS. His greatest success came in the mid-80s with THE LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH before his untimely death at the age of 40 in Paris in 1990.

Every first Tuesday from 9PM-1AM join XRAY.FM DJs spinning records live at one of the coziest bars in Portland, Beech Street Parlor! For a full schedule of events visit Beech Street Parlor here.
SATAN & ADAM
Series: Sonic Cinema
In 1986, harmonica player Adam Gussow asked if he could jam on the streets of Harlem with one-man-band Sterling "Mr. Satan" Magee. Amidst NYC’s racial tension, this Jewish Ivy League graduate and black Mississippi bluesman, Satan & Adam, made an unlikely pair. After a chance encounter with members of U2 and a celebrated debut record, they rose to international acclaim—and then Mr. Satan mysteriously disappeared. This documentary, an odyssey 23 years in the making, captures a miraculous journey of friendship, heartbreak, and the transformative power of music.
Sponsored by XRAY FM, Music Millennium and Lagunitas Brewing.

Each song on Bayonne’s Drastic Measures is orchestral in texture, unfolding in countless layers and kaleidoscopic tones. With great intensity of detail, the Austin-based artist otherwise known as Roger Sellers deepens that sonic complexity by weaving in elegantly warped samples of the field recordings he’s gathered for over a decade. But in its powerful melodies and pristine arrangements, Drastic Measures ultimately bears a pure pop lucidity even in its most grandiose moments.

An intensely intimate post-punk/darkwave experience, the Out From The Shadows festival brings in artists from around the country and the world for three nights at the Tonic Lounge. This year, we go from the largely Portland-based opening night - 4 local bands (The Secret Light and Darkswoon among them) along with Copenhagen's The Foreign Resort and the return of The Wheal from Paris - to two distinctly different but equally amazing lineups the next two nights. Friday finds Light Asylum headlining in their only Portland appearance of the year supported by LA's Milliken Chamber, Social Station from DC, Chicago artist Panic Priest and others, including Portland wunderkinds Xibling. Saturday night turns decidedly darker and not a little more goth. Aside from the long overdue reappearance of local band LUNCH, we have Oakland's Ink Bats, Cruz de Navajas from Mexico City, Seattle's Nox Novacula, SF legends Altar De Fey, rising phenoms Twin Tribes from Texas, the return of the intense and popular Lust Era from San Juan PR, all topped by one of the current, hotbed Portland scene's most important originators, The Estranged.
