Blog , Sami (who is ink-free) wants to know what music tattoos are the worst you've ever seen. Leave your horror stories down below and feel free to post links to the tattoos you've found to be most foul. Also [...]
Elusive electronic duo Boards of Canada are set to release their first album, Tomorrow's Harvest , in eight years on June 5th. After having to track down specific six digit codes throughout the internet and on a record store day vinyl release to reach the online video announcement of the LP, the band has gone with the very un-challenging soundcloud route to share their single "Reach for the Dead". Check out the song and its video below. [ CoS ] [...]

My ongoing love affair with the new Portugal. The Man record continues! Their video for "Atomic Man" is a hypnotizing affair that combines high-speed photography, video morphing and lots of little tricks that turn the whole video into a trippy masterpiece. It's directed by David Vincent Wolf and edited by Nick Rosen - both clearly [...]
Wasilla, Alaska's own Portugal. The Man have some wholesome, child-like fun in the video for "Atomic Man", off their forthcoming album, Evil Friends . Director David Vincent Wolf uses some time delays and editing tricks to create trippy visuals (e.g. the band's eyes sliding down their faces, their heads turning into amorphous blobs.) Still, it's the mature, high-art version of when most of us learned to distort our voices by speaking into a fan, except this one breaks psyches and not tongues. The band's Danger Mouse-produced seventh album, Evil Friends , [...]
The other night I saw Portugal. The Man perform in New York City. The biggest surprise—aside from two Beatles covers and an insane laser show—was the fact that over half of the audience seemed to know every word to every song. The band had no problem bringing enough volume prevent from getting overwhelmed by the sea of [...]
![PORTUGAL. THE MAN PLAYED IRVING PLAZA [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4967236_lg.jpg)
Photos by Ashley Maas Portugal. the Man , with opener Royal Bangs , played to a sold out crowd Monday night at Irving Plaza. There were some technical glitches at the get-go, but the band worked through them without missing a beat. It's always a pleasure to attend Portugal's well thought out shows, this time with colorful lights, bright lasers and a fog machine that turned the band's members into thrashing silhouettes. The band played old favorites, as well as songs from their upcoming album, [...]
It's still hard to wrap your brain around how such trippy indie pop can come out of Alaska. Maybe it's the remoteness and desolation that have forced Portugal. The Man to explore music as a form of escape. Whatever the cause, music fans everywhere should be happy for it, and happy for the June 4th release of the band's new full length, Evil Friends . Over the course of their career so far, Portugal. The Man have proven that they can deliver danceable, dreamy, and fun experimental rock with a consistency that acts like [...]

Our San Diego picks for the week*
It appears Austin City Limits has begun to reveal some of this year's artists ahead of Tuesday's big lineup announcement . In years past, ACL has distributed lottery cards to merchants throughout downtown Austin that when scratched revealed the name of artists playing the festival. However, this year the festival has taken a new approach, utilizing beer koozies (!) and the classified section of The Austin Chronicle . On Thursday, four "ads" appeared in in The Austin Chronicle , each featuring not so subtle reference to four artists: fun., Grouplove, Shovels [...]
John Wright The last time that Pet Shop Boys were in town, it was for V Fest 2009 and while I was excited for their performance, it was more because I wanted to see their audience intersect with the Nine Inch Nails fans who were there to see Trent and company, who were playing immediately afterwards, than out of any real sort of fandom. Their show, however, blew me away with its technicolour visuals, elaborate choreography, and top-notch pop songcraft that they were easily the highlight of the weekend and, having since gotten to [...]
Over the last couple of years when we've written about The Polyphonic Spree it mostly focused around their enthusiasm for holiday music. On August 6, the choral-rock ensemble will release their properly punctuated album - Yes, It's True. - their first set of new material since 20072s The Fragile Army . The Tim DeLaughter fronted act, who harnessed the power of crowd-sourcing to help fund their new record in raising $100,000, will head out for a 12-date summer tour, which includes a high profile appearance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, as well [...]

The brand-spankin’-new video for Purple Yellow Red & Blue from PORTUGAL. THE MAN depicts a beautifully mustachioed John Baldwin Gourley and centers around what I can only assume to be a particularly gnarly journey to and from the spiritual centre of every hipster – better known as Coachella , at which the band performed a set ( poignantly reviewed by Danny Devito ). If you’re keen to see the frontman of Portland-based, Alaskan-bred PORTUGAL. THE MAN be his ‘great’ self while he rocks ironic Hawaiian shirts with winter jackets, or [...]
