Mt Fog, Iroiro, and Rayon bring a stacked night of cosmic art pop + Portland post-punk energy. All aboard !

Mt Fog (Seattle) crafts “cosmic soundscapes that surprise and delight” (KEXP), blending haunted-forest art pop with violin-driven atmospherics and dance-floor pulse. Called “Seattle’s premier art-pop eccentric” (Bandcamp Daily), Mt Fog’s live set moves between ethereal, theatrical, and euphoric.

Praised for “all-encompassing atmospherics” (Bandcamp Daily) and “bird-like fluidity… something magic” (Dusted), Mt Fog has performed across the Northwest and Europe, appearing at Timber Fest, Capitol Hill Block Party, TARBOO, and more.

A night with deep Portland roots and unfiltered rock n roll! Not to be missed!

Rick Bain & The Genius Position –For more than two decades, Portland singer‑songwriter Rick Bain has sculpted some of the city’s most captivating psychedelic rock. He first turned heads in 1997 when he re‑created the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds on a 4‑track recorder in his apartment, playing every instrument himself (a feat covered in this early profile). Bain formed the Genius Position and released the hypnotic blend of Pink Floyd‑meets‑Beatles pop Crooked Autumn Sun (2000). The album earned rave reviews from outlets like the Village Voice and L.A. Weekly, and Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre later said it was the album he wished he’d made.

Bain followed with Virtual Heavy Pet (2004), a Brit‑pop‑inflected record whose standout tracks “Welcome To My Daydream” and “Amy Jane” are celebrated in reviews. After stepping back to raise a family and work outside of music (a comeback story told in PDX Magazine), he returned with the shimmering Keep It Glowing (2019) and a 20th‑anniversary vinyl edition of Crooked Autumn Sun in 2020. Today Bain performs only a handful of shows each year with a line‑up that includes his wife Amy Jane on bass and organist/manager Byron Lee. This is a rare chance to witness a true Portland legend in an intimate setting.

Celebrity Telethon - is an underground rock ’n’ roll outfit based in the American Pacific Northwest. Their pulp-noir sound mines the purest strata of punk’s earliest echoes. It’s murder in hi-fi.

The Statics - Coming out of the wonderful Tacoma tradition that goes back to the Sonics and the Wailers in the early 60s, more connected with those roots than most Seattle outfits from this era, the Statics still connected with the 1990s, they have songs about burgers and fries, cars and cartoons, the important things in life, what rock and roll songs oughta be about. (Written by Winch Records)

Suprr Powrr -" Rob Vasquez's new group (Nights and Days, Night Kings, The Gorls, Ape Lost, Right On, Nice Smile, Man Tee Mans...) is one of the unsung heroes of the 90s garage punk scene. Mainly sticking to singles which were put out under a host of different names on pretty much every great punk label of the time (In The Red, Estrus, Bag of Hammers, Sub Pop...) his discography is pretty astounding. Rarely leaving his hometown of Seattle his name is not as commonly known as it should be but for those in the know he’s one of the tops." - Total Punk
