Winter/Spring Concert Calendar
February 29th, 2012 • Uncategorized
I write this on the eve of the Big Storm, but it’s still safe to say this winter has been seriously lackluster weather-wise. Unfortunately, the same’s been kind of true as far as live music is concerned. There’s always great local music to see, especially with the opening of Washington131 — Portland’s newest DIY venue (although they had to cancel the You Won’t show scheduled earlier this month which was a HUGE bummer) — but as far as big names, climate change might also be having some unforeseen effects on winter live music. No fear, though, spring is coming up kind of and it looks like our venues are heating up too!
Most notably:
March 6 — Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys @ the Civic Center
March 16 — The Head and the Heart/ Drew Grow and the Pastors’ Wives/ Black Girls @ State
April 12 — Dinosaur Feathers / Grandchildren @ Empire (note: for those of age, Empire also does $5 beer, whiskey and a burger…get it)
April 17 — Passion Pit @ State
May 3 — M. Ward/Lee Renaldo Band @ State
