The songs of Haunted Summer are dreamy and hypnotic, rich with orchestral strings and sultry electronic textures, and with their EP, Something in the Water, the group crafted a captivatingly-ethereal musical journey through a nostalgic world of young love and long-forgotten memories. Consisting of husband-and-wife Bridgette Moody and John Seasons, who share songwriting duties in a true collaboration, the Los Angeles duo have shared the stage and toured with groups and performers including Taken By Trees, The Polyphonic Spree, Islands, Deafheaven, Coeur De Pirate, Olafur Arnalds, Carla Morrison, Meiko, Basia Bulat, Federico Aubele, Laura Stevenson and more. Haunted Summer is poised to bring their psychedelic sound to the world.

"Since
day one, the idea behind Pickathon has always been pretty simple: what
does it take to be the best weekend festival of the year for music
lovers?
This question has driven us to highly refine an experience that is truly unique. Innovation has always been at the center of this process and through the years many important elements have come together; collaborating widely on yearly diverse lineups that are built on the idea of great music being the sole criteria; refining six unique performance venues designed to create juxtaposing alternate realities; trusting important decisions can be discussed and made with our online community such as maintaining a low crowd density; becoming the only large music festival to eliminate plastic and minimize single use items; recruiting the finest food and drink purveyors in the land; focusing constantly on eliminating "normal" festival hassles; enabling families to thrive; working with the Pendarvis Family to create a highly designed paradise of a festival grounds, and the list goes on."

PDX Pop Now! and XRAY.fm presents the 2nd annual PDX Pop Later! after party, happening from midnight to 2am at Bunk Bar on Sunday, right after the PDX Pop Now! festival. XRAY's own DJ Bad Wizard spins, and the event is free. It's the official PDX Pop Later! after party, brought to you by XRAY.fm
Join XRAY and PDX Pop Now! for the best in local music under the sun!
In keeping with our legacy as one of the nations few free, all ages, and all-volunteer music festivals, the PDX Pop Now! festival returns July 24-26 with 45 genres-spanning sets from Portland musicians. Set amid the Southeast industrial district at AudioCinema, the festival will feature two stages, food carts, a street fair, and Portland’s renowned band basketball tournament Rigsketball.
Additionally, we are excited to continue our partnership with Music in The Schools, who will be curating a second year of festival sets from high school bands across Portland!
As an all volunteer, non-profit organization, PDX Pop Now! is dedicated to stimulating and expanding community participation in Portland music. Through the annual three day festival, yearly classroom events, and two-disc compilation, we strive to actively engage the community while highlighting Portland’s diverse and vibrant musical talent.
PDX Pop Now! works to fulfill our mission in a democratic and accessible way. The festival is curated through a public nomination process and a volunteer voting committee that is focused on being inclusive to all genres and age groups.
Expect more news to come this spring when we announce the full 2015 lineup and release our annual two-disc compilation!

Come see Australian indie-pop 4 piece Dick Diver!
Dick Diver are a four-piece from Melbourne Australia renowned for their catchy songs, onstage charm and wry humour. Formed in 2008 with guitarists Rupert Edwards and Alistair McKay, drummer Steph Hughes (Boomgates) and bassist Al Montfort (Total Control, UV Race, Lower Plenty et al) they’re finally bringing their songs to the USA and Canada this July in the wake of their new album Melbourne, Florida.
A wide-ranging and diverse album, Melbourne, Florida is simultaneously smoother and more eccentric than their previous world-conquering efforts Calendar Days (2013) and New Start Again (2011). Recorded in an old barn on Australia's shipwreck coast with long-time collaborator Mikey Young, the man-myth behind such rock juggernauts as Total Control and Eddy Current Suppression Ring, the atmosphere and intoxication shine through in warm horn sections, aching melodies, and such memorable lines as ‘Europe’s fucked probably’, ‘there’s sick on your lapel, Daddy-o’, or ‘don’t get a gun / talk to a counsellor’. Come down and boogie people.
Melbourne, Florida, is out now on US label Trouble In Mind and in Australia, New Zealand and Japan by Chapter Music.
The 3rd annual LagerFest, a benefit for XRAY.fm takes over the White Owl Social Club's spacious bar and back patio on Saturday July 11th with the largest selection of lagers in the state, perhaps the country!
The White Owl is excited to host the third annual giant patio party that celebrates the almighty but often overlooked LAGER! 50+ international and craft brews will be out on the legendary White Owl patio, and the beers will be flowing harder than Aesop Rock while riding the back of Damian Lillard dunking over Dwight Howard from the top Multinomah Falls during a Red Fang versus Lord Dying heavy metal deathmatch battle royale extravaganza!
Come visit us at the Mississippi Street Fair!

Since 2011, Trust has performed with DFA1979, Crystal Castles, Austra, Balam Acab, Glass Candy and Hercules and Love Affair and garnered glowing praise from top international critics at Pitchfork, VICE, The Guardian UK and many more.
Trust's Tales of lust, wax, and erotomania carry along on a dense black vapor of speed, space and tears.

Eyelids say:
Hey everyone... if you are in Portland on Friday June 26th come on down to celebrate the release of our new 12" EP along with the mighty Phantom Ships and the always amazing power that be Wimps (they hail from Seattle). We're looking forward to playing some new songs and also some of those five month old "classics" as well... Hope to see you there!
“Scholars of sunshine pop” - Keith Cameron, Mojo
"A whirlwind of tangled acoustic and electric guitars that gets stuck in your head and continues to spin long after the tune is over" – NPR Heavy Rotation
Portland band Eyelids have a collective history creating music for some of the most legendary indie songwriters. Longtime friends and principle songwriters John Moen (Decemberists) and Chris Slusarenko (Guided by Voices, Boston Spaceships) channel their teenage Paisley Underground obsession and love of New Zealand / Flying Nun guitar buzz into a sound they describe as, “sweet melodies and bummer vibes.”
Immediately following sold-out pressings of three 7” and the 2014 full length 854, Eyelids will release a new self-titled EP on June 23 (Jealous Butcher / Schizophonic Records). Produced by Peter Buck, Eyelids will be available digitally and limited edition colored vinyl with a download card featuring three exclusive live videos (including Stephen Malkmus performing “Hey Joe” w/ Eyelids).

“BURLESQUE ON MARS” COMBINES THE GLAM OF DAVID BOWIE WITH THE GLAMOUR OF THE MODERN
STRIPTEASE
The Infamous Nina Nightshade and Sophie Maltease are excited to announce "Burlesque on Mars," a tribute to the works of music and style legend, David Bowie. With a career that spans six decades, Bowie is arguably one of the most influential personae in modern pop culture. A master of reinvention and experimentation, his influence can be felt in not only music, but also film and fashion. His voice and personae ooze sexual confidence, and he helped create a new brand of theatricality with characters such as Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke.
“Burlesque on Mars” will be an evening in tribute to that influence and reach. Headlined by Seattle's Iva Handfull and Ernie Von Schmaltz, this two-show extravaganza will also feature a variety of burlesque, bellydance, and singing performances by Portland and Seattle performers, including:
Baby Le'Strange
Scarlett O'Hairdye
Layne Fawkes
Nikki Lev
Sophie Maltease
Nina Nightshade
Bella Luna
Kit Katastrophic
Maggie McMuffin
and Bettie Velo
The evening will be emceed by Rebecca M Davis.
