We Made It Pop

Here’s some shots from the benefit we hosted last night in The Cleaners at Ace PDX. Everyone who played was terrific. Colin Meloy drank some red wine and played new songs from the upcoming Decemberists album. Where there would have been guitar solo, there was instead audience whistling. There were local cupcakes, homemade ice cream, and locally brewed beers, but a big treat was Colin’s cover of Men at Work’s Overkill.

Make It Pop

Tomorrow night, we’re hosting Make It Pop!, a benefit with Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, at The Cleaners in Ace Hotel Portland. It’s a fundraiser for PDX Pop Now!, an organization that works to support and strengthen Portland’s incredible, diverse independent music community. We’re really honored to help.

They’re also raffling off a two-night stay at Ace Portland. And other treats at the show will include Saint Cupcake, Captured By Porches Brewing, Bakery Bar, and Fifty Licks Homemade Ice Cream. Hopefully you can get some cupcakes before we eat them all.
