New Year's Resolutions From Your NYE Entertainment

As is tradition, the end of a year is a perfect time to reflect and to set resolutions for the upcoming year. With that in mind—and the fact that nearly every venue in Portland is offering up a solid New Year's Eve bill—we decided to ask this year's New Year entertainment for their New Year's resolutions.

We received a slew of responses from many of the talented musicians that will be taking the stage as the clock ticks to midnight, ranging from personal to band-related, exercise and more:

Doug Fir — Weinland, Fruit Bats

Adam Shearer, Weinland

Mississippi Studios — Nurses, Radiation City, Wild Ones, DJ Beyonda

Holocene — The Miracles Club, Sex Life, Ancient Heat, Sun Angle, Palmas, DJ Copy, DJ Snakks, DJ Hostile Tapeover

Dig A Pony — Purple & Green, Artifice

Kenton Club — And And And, Blood Beach, This Charming Man

Backspace — The Reservations, Big Black Cloud, New York Rifles, Hollywood Tans, Red Ships of Spain

Ted's at Berbati's Pan — Chicharones, Doo Doo Funk Allstars

Josh Martinez, the Chicharones
My New Year's resolution is to learn Spanish. With a name like Josh Martinez, and being a part of a group called The Chicharones, being able to speak fluent French and no Spanish continues to be less and less ironic, and more embarrassing. Also figuring out how to sell my soul for Blazers season tickets will most certainly be a priority.

Someday Lounge — The Winebirds, Tango Alpha Tango

Nathan Trueb, Tango Alpha Tango
Our resolution, as a band, is to finally go on tour this spring headed to SXSW. We have a new album coming out this spring that we're ready to travel behind.

Star Bar — Guantanamo Baywatch, Pataha Hiss, Pity Fucks, Chemicals, Polaroids
