I saw Portugal. The Man last night at the Doug Fir. I’ve been aware of them, but never really listened to them. Hot poop they put on a great show. Half the time they reminded me of The Mars Volta, except I actually wanted to listen to them, and the other half they had kind of the normal good-indie-Portland-band thing going on. That’s probably quite possibly the worst characterization of a band ever written, but guess what bitches, it’s the internet and it’s really easy to publicize ill-informed opinions.
Also worth noting: these gentlemen know how to rock the fuck out.
