It just might take a super group to cover a supergroup with the kind of pedigree of the Travelling Wilburies. Luckily for Slang and their cover of "Handle with Care," they meet the description of supergroup, with and without the space. A duo consisting of Janet Weiss on drums and vox and Drew Grow on [...]
JACK WHITE, POKEY LAFARGE AND THE SOUTH CITY THREE ( Roseland , 1 Center Ct) Read our article on Jack White . CHARLI XCX ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) Portland welcomes up-and-coming UK goth pop songstress/badass Charli XCX. Her songs are infectious with heavy bass and sassy lyrics whose topics range from love to lust to ass-kicking. A less-Top-40, more-intense version of the Spice Girls, one could say. Good to know girl power lives on! LEX [...]
TWIN SHADOW, POOLSIDE ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) Brooklyn's George Lewis Jr. has made one of the most instantly enjoyable albums of 2012, especially if you came of musical age in the 1980s. Twin Shadow's second album, Confess , is composed of 10 perfectly wrought singles, one after the other—all the more impressive because Lewis produced it himself. He may not look like a geek, but he obviously is one. If you're one of those people who hears everything but the lyrics, you'd be forgiven for assuming Confess is a sexually aspirational/inspirational album: [...]

Johnnie Cluney We got out of the habit of posting whenever our favorite Portland bands did a Daytrotter session once the music site required membership to listen to their tracks, but this one's worth knowing about: Portland's own Drew Grow and the Pastors' Wives stepped into the Rock Island, Illinois, studio for a four-song session that includes some great-sounding new tunes ("Abandon" and "Groundwire") plus some highlights from 2010's self-titled full-length ("Friendly Fire" and "It All Comes Right"). "Abandon" is worth signing up for a free trial alone, [...]
For the next couple weeks I'll be tagging along on tour with Drew Grow and the Pastors' Wives as they open for The Head and The Heart's national tour. I won't be writing from the road, but I'll be sending postcards. The first few are on their way to Seattle now. p.s. If you're an out-of-state [...]

I remember the night I saw Drew Grow and the Pastors' Wives last October well. I was in the throws of concert burnout and an unrelated sugar coma. What started out being a night that I wasn't sure I'd get through ended up being one of my favorite shows of the year. There was one song in particular that I couldn't get over. I wasn't familiar with it so I asked the band what it was called. Then I spent a good amount of time scouring the internet for the release that contained [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive Dylan Priest Whenever Drew Grow and the Pastors Wives get into the studio, something strange happens. "The last few times we've set out to record something, we get about four days of work done and then something goes wrong," Grow tells Spinner. "Then we end up having to leave and go finish it at our house." [...]
Download: Hey Rosetta! - "Bandages" I feel like I've been rather late to the party with Hey Rosetta! having only been listening to them for a month or so. "Bandages" was my toe in the water with these Canadians, I caught the live video and instantly jumped on the Hey Rosetta! bandwagon...Hey Rosetta! are magical. [...]
Just about two weeks shy of one year ago today, a hotly rumored about Wild Flag embarked on their first tour. Nobody new what to expect. Yes, we knew what the pieces were, and most of the people in this band have played together before. As we know from history, without even a single note [...]

October means we're happily knee-deep in baseball, surrounded by seasonal pumpkin ales, and, regrettably, wrist-deep in the slimy insides of jack-o-lanterns. Music has been my quiet oasis. I figure it's high time I stop futzing over my autumn mix and share it already. The fall mix is one of my favorites to make. In addition to being generally hyperaware of everything around me in life, especially subtexts and undercurrents, I notice an acute sharpening of my senses every time the seasons change. It's why I make you guys these seasonal mixes: as everything in the natural world [...]
