WEDNESDAY JULY 25
DIRTY PROJECTORS
[MUSIC] Brooklyn-based experimental-rock
sextet Dirty Projectors makes some of the most interesting music of our
day. The groupâs wonderful new LP, Swing Lo Magellan, makes as little a distinction between pop and the avant-garde as possible. Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside St. 9 pm. $22. All ages.
THURSDAY JULY 26
LA SERA
[MUSIC] Sees the Light, Katy
Goodmanâs recently released second album, draws from the same well of
summery hooks and lo-fi bristle as her other band, the Vivian Girls, but
her collection of shimmering broken-up-but-not-broken balladry achieves
heartfelt, unaffected depths that the Girls never quite reach. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St. 9 pm. $8 advance, $10 day of show. 21+.
OREGON BREWERS FESTIVAL
[BEER] The biggest and best of Portlandâs many, many beer festivals. Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Noon-9 pm July 26-28, noon-7 pm July 29. Free admission. oregonbrewfest.com.
FRIDAY JULY 27

John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church, 14485 SW Walker Road,

SUNDAY JULY 29
WOLF HOTEL
[MUSIC] Those familiar with the sprawling
Oldominion crew know much of its output can be classified into
categories of âdarkâ and âbrutally fucking bleak.â Good Bye, the
latest from Barflyâs new group Wolf Hotel, is the most recent to come
down with a hard case of seasonal affective disorder. It sounds great. Mount Tabor Theater, 4811 SE Hawthorne Blvd. 9 pm. $7. 21+.
TUESDAY JULY 31
BENFEST 2.0
by men named Ben, and âBen-inspiredâ food. The Hop & Vine Bottle Shop, 1914 N Killingsworth St., 954-3322, thehopandvine.com. 5 pm. Free.
