Trust is the alter ego of Toronto artist Robert Alfons.
Formed in 2009 along with collaborator Maya Postepski, Trust released its first singles, "Candy Walls" and "Bulbform," on Brooklyn-based Sacred Bones Records in 2011 before signing with Arts & Crafts for the 2012 release of debut full length, TRST.
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.

The Mercury says: "This year's Bridgetown Comedy Festival lineup was announced today, and it looks GOOD. Initial thoughts: This year's bill is absurdly crowded, and includes the wonderful Beth Stelling, Maggie Maye, and Kate Berlant, who were all so, so funny at 2014's All Jane No Dick. Plus Kurt Braunohler, Janeane Garafalo (!), Kyle Kinane, Baron Vaughn, JESSICA WILLIAMS, and Phoebe Robinson, and a whole slew of local (and once local) stand-ups you know and love, including Ian Karmel, Bri Pruett, Shane Torres, Nathan Brannon, and Amy Miller. And Caitlin Weierhauser, Curtis Cook, and Steve Wilber. And Sean Jordan and Veronica Heath and Anthony Lopez.
So I sure hope you didn't make plans yet for May 7-10, or if you did, that you can go ahead and cancel them. More info on the festival here.
