Just to inform all of you that don't know, there is a concert supporting music in Portland Public Schools taking place this Friday, May 11th at 8:00. The bands include the Thermals, Menomena, and the Bustling Townships, all Portland bands. Tickets are $10 at PPS (for PPS students) and are sold outside on the patio during lunch.
YouTube samples of the bands' work:
Menomena -- kind of hard to describe, an interesting, very unique electronicy-pop-y mix.
Wet and Rusting the Thermals -- pop-ish hard rock
How We Know No Culture Icons The Bustling Townships -- I actually don't know how to describe them, but they're good!
Bubblegum Bubble Blowers The Twain/Suzy Doo Doo/Tygerkyasses So, come and stuff!
