Charts + Stay Calm

Hey everyone last week was a little bit of a vacation for me, but now I'm back and ready for even more music. Let's start it off with some local Portland bands that I've been really digging these last few weeks. First we got Charts. Their latest EP recording is called Tease, and it's really great for these long, hot summer days. Super lo-fi garage surf rock 'n' pop. You should definitely give it a listen to it below and download it for free here! If you don't get hooked on the first song try "How Did You Get So Mean."



Next up is some new music from Stay Calm. One of my favorite bands to see live here. Their new singles sound a little more pop-y than their on-stage presence. I am loving these two new songs. Super chill indie pop 'n' roll with groovy beats and easy breezy vocals that make you want to bob and sway back and forth. Check out both songs below and be sure to catch them at MFNW.



We have a great month ahead of us here at Killing Sasquatch. Pure Bathing Culture's show tonight at Mississippi Studios, some more brand new music from Delicate Steve, Fang Island, and Jeff The Brotherhood, and two other shows later this week including Young Magic. So stayed tune for more great music.

Live At Holocene: AU + Pure Bathing Culture

Last night was the celebration of Holocene's 9th birthday. One of the best music and bar venues in Portland, Holocene put a great ticket together for their birthday. Houndstooth played first and had one of their best sets that I've seen, solidifying them as one of my favorite local bands to see live. They played a couple of new songs last night, so hopefully they will be putting some new recordings out soon.

























Next up was the three piece band, Stay Calm. They have an awesome sound that includes heavy fuzz guitar, swirling keys, a dancing drum beat, and of course lovely female vocals. This band is definitely worth catching live, they will rock your socks off.





























After Stay Calm performed more people piled in to see one of the best new bands in Portland, Pure Bathing Culture. This band is really good not only on record but to see live as well. It makes sense that Willamette Week has named them in the top 5 new bands in Portland. Their new EP is out now so make sure you pick up a copy.



































The final band for the night was AU. Comprised of keyboardist and drummer, this experimental prog-rock band puts out a lot of great noise. They have a high degree of technical skills on their instruments as heard on their newest release Both Lights. They also have a trio that joined them on stage playing clarinet, saxophone, and trombone. Making their sound bolder and more robust and generally great.
