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.

XRAY.FM PRESENTS:
Influential post-punk pioneers' 40th anniversary tour!
The Monochrome Set and The Prids at Doug Fir Lounge
THE MONOCHROME SET consist of, original Monochrome Set members, Bid (Guitar/Vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with John Paul Moran (keyboards) and Mike Urban, who was previously in the band in the early 90s, on drums, The Monochrome Set formed in 1978, and were heavily influential in the ‘post-punk’ scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. The band’s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade Label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cherry Red label, making a notable appearance on that label's well known ‘Pillows and Prayers’ compilation. Though The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings, their album release count now being well into double figures. After a hiatus of over a decade the band reformed full time in 2010 and have since toured all over the UK, Europe, Japan and the USA, whilst also releasing five new, critically acclaimed, studio albums, the most recent, ‘Maisieworld’, on the German ‘Tapete’ label in February 2018. 2018 also sees the 40th year since the band formed and they will be gigging worldwide to celebrate this.

XRAY is proud to present Team Human Live! Autonomous technologies, runaway markets and weaponized media have overturned civil society, paralyzing our ability to think constructively, connect meaningfully, or act purposefully. Being human is a team sport, and Douglas Rushkoff's Team Human Podcast and radio show has been the voice of human intervention in the machine.
Join the party, find the others, throw off the yoke of surveillance and manipulation and celebrate the quirky, anomalous behaviors and approaches that make real people so much more than robots, algorithms, or consumer profiles. This is where the conscious beats the automatic - an opportunity to redesign reality on our own terms.
Live, connected conversations, in real time and space, with real humans.
