Band Interviews

Our phriends in Australian indie folk outfit The Paper Kites – who we’ve been covering since 2013, and have played shows at Johnny Brenda’s, World Café Live, MilkBoy, Underground Arts, and First Unitarian Church – released their sixth full-length this September.  The LP, At The Roadhouse, is a concept album,...

“I love costumes, dressing up, and stuff like that, like just the traditions of decorating, haunted houses, and maybe trying to watch one horror movie a day… although I’ve kind of gotten behind on that.  I love campy horror,” says Emma Boster, vocalist for Portland metalcore outfit Dying Wish,...

This coming Sunday, October 29th, Mudhoney will be playing their most intimate stop in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection since their 2003 show at North Star Bar (I mean, they’ve only played here twice since, but still…)  However, we’re equally excited for openers Hooveriii, who are...

There are still tickets remaining for My Morning Jacket’s shows this Friday (10/27) and Saturday (10/28) at The Met, the band’s most intimate area appearances since they played the Tower Theatre in 2015.  And while it is a rare opportunity to see the psychedelic Southern rockers indoors (in an...

Front Line Assembly’s Rhys Fulber recently told Lynette Cerezo that her most recent single, “Road Of Thousand Tears,” is her, “David Lynch song.”  So, it’s only fitting that this Saturday, 10/28, Lynette will be playing Eraserhood’s own Underground Arts.  Lynette Cerezo is better known as Bestial Mouths, a goth/industrial...

TONIGHT, 21-year-old TikTok-star-turned-pop-phenom Aidan Bissett headlines Theatre of Living Arts.  However, we’re actually most excited about indie-pop artist Anna Shoemaker, who is currently serving as support on Bissett’s Supernova Tour, and will be opening the show.  Shoemaker is touring behind her five-song Hey Anna EP, which dropped in June,...

We first met New-York-by-way-of-Texas indie rockers Why Bonnie – whose sound I’ve described as “Americana-laced retro alt-rock” – this March, in the middle of SXSW and prior to a headlining date at Kung Fu Necktie in support of their debut LP, 90 in November, which dropped last August on...

“I feel like it’s probably not quite as chaotic, but we’re a live band, and we like to put on a good show.  But this time around we’re also more about nailing the music part, playing the songs correctly ,” says Jemina Pearl, frontwoman of legendary Nashville garage punk...

TONIGHT, Johnny Brenda’s — our favorite “mini rock n’ roll ballroom” — is hosting a killer double-headlining bill of a doomier and gloomier variety than normally finds itself at the city’s premiere hipster haven.  Closing out the evening will be ultra-heavy Portland psych rockers Blackwater Holylight (Who we first...
