info:
Events and promo sites are great for finding out about shows, but I like to keep a more concise list of the worthwhile bands, acts, and artists coming to Portland. Most of my show listings are based on personal and genre-related taste due to being kept first for my own reference, so please check with bands and venues for complete, accurate calendars. As always, if you've heard of a show before I have and it fits this list, drop me a line at facebook.
