Radiation City, Ancient Heat
9 pm., Sunday December 30 | $10 advance, $12 day of show.
[PDX PRIDE AND JOY] Portland has fallen in love with Radiation City. Aside from the high praise the band received for both 2011’s The Hands That Take You LP and 2012’s Cool Nightmare EP, the five-piece swept WW’s Best New Band poll this year. While this is all old news, there’s something to be said about a self-recording group that takes a city and its music critics by storm. Playing a fusion of infectious retro pop with electronic elements and quirky production idiosyncrasies (such as clanging and clacking on all parts of an old piano), Radiation City not only melds a wonderful blend of influences, it does so with straight-up soul.
