PDX Pop Now! Announces Schedule

As I was posting this, I thought "Oh, I should put stars next to the stuff I'm really excited about!" Then almost everything got a star. I have since erased said stars. This is a great lineup, even if it lacks huge-name mega-groups. Who needs superstars when you've got so many rad bands?


See you at Refuge in a few weeks, homies.
