Lucion Hall
Lucion Hall is a rock band from Portland Oregon dripping with power pop sentiment. Songwriter Lucion brings a style and persona influenced by the lyricism of Elliot Smith, the attitude of The Cramps, and the art rock theatricality of the Talking Heads. Their live performance is equally likely to inspire a raging mosh pit or a toe tapping two-step.
Frantarica
"The ragged, dirty punk brought noisily into existence by Frantarctica has had a longstanding presence in the Portland music scene, thanks to now-iconic outfits like Dead Moon, the Frances Farmer Gals, and Neo Boys. This ensemble places itself along that continuum with a mighty, sludgy heave, a basement show, and a cheap beer-fueled blend of anger and paranoia."- Robert Ham, Portland Mercury
