What happens when you combine the female forces behind projects such as Duover, Orquestra Pacifico Tropical, Point Juncture WA, Ioa, Great Wilderness, and Sallie Ford? This is where Bitch'n brews. The fresh, all-woman punk-meets-pop five-piece came together in spring 2015, recording epic free jams that they later wrote lyrics over. Including Rebecca Rasmussen, Amanda Spring, Emily Overstreet, Nefertiti Porter, and Shana Lindbeck. Bitch'n is equal parts Fugazi and Tom Tom Club, with the playfulness of Dirty Projectors and Hot Chip, keeping it bumpin' with catchy songs accented by dark bass, psych-pop guitars and keys, driving drum beats, and all five women's voices singing and sometimes shouting in unison. Experimental in nature, Bitch'n expertly weave a tapestry through their songs, keeping the project from falling into a single box, while simultaneously following a cohesive thread. - PORTLAND MERCURY
Smoke Rings is a 4 piece dark wave post-punk band from Portland, OR. The group was formed in the winter of 2012 from remnants of other post punk acts in the area. This new fusion creates a unique blend of aggressive punk and haunting melodies by incorporating driving bass/synth lines, angular guitar riffs and innovative, solid drum beats. Topped off with sometimes sorrowful, but often psychotic vocals, Smoke Rings tightly grasps your full attention at live shows.
-The Wild Body-
It is the chasm lying between being and non-being, over which it is impossible for logic to throw any bridge that, in certain forms of laughter, we leap.
