Portland Show Calendar: December 7 – 11
Hello! dj zen_hound is here with another show guide. Due to technical difficulties, this one was delayed a bit, and we therefore had to miss out on a few days this week. And let me tell you, they were some good ones! The band Ogre had not one, but TWO album release shows for their newest record “Red Moon Rising Black Sand Death Dream“, Patricia Wolf and The Vardaman Ensemble played The Fixin’ To, Carrion Spring came back after a bit of a hiatus to support Loma Prieta at Mano Occulta, Still/Form put out an album, and so on and so forth. But that’s in the past now! We need to think about the future! So check out this list of upcoming local shows. Band names with hyperlinks will take you somewhere you can listen to their music; venue names with hyperlinks with take you to event pages and calendars, where you can access useful information like show times and age restrictions. Check it out, and leave a comment if the urge arises for whatever reason.
