Portland Cello Project: Night of the Juggalos (Detroit, MI) [November 6th 5:22pm] “HAPPY F&#*IN’ HALLOWEEN, JUGGALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!!!” This low, bellowing voice was the greeting of a big bald dude in the middle of a wrestling ring with “Hallowicked” painted on the side of it. The packed hive of demented clown people cheered back. If my 5 hour perspective on Detroit...

View Calendar for information about all tonight's events (all 80 of 'em). Swollen Members, Common Market, Big B and Dirtball, Bliss n Eso, Serge Severe Swollen Members may be the hardest thing to come out of Canada since hockey, but that doesn’t mean the Vancouver-based rappers are thick. Most of Swollen Members’ guns are metaphorical in nature—even if Mad Child and Prevail dedicate an entire track to a porn star on new release Armed to the Teeth—and its acts of violence and bravado come wrapped in elegant rhyme schemes reminiscent of those from Cypress Hill and Seattle’s Grayskul. Armed to the Teeth is packed with minimalist beats that remind of early Wu-Tang and Camp Lo releases. But despite the audio hallmarks from groups of yesteryear, these Canucks sound right at home in 2009—and 2009 is scary as hell. CASEY JARMAN. Hawthorne Theatre, 3862 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 233-7100.Rock the Socks: Alan Singley, Jacob Johnson, Noah Beck, Pedal Home and the Lost Highwaymen [GOOD CAUSE] Nothing makes for a good benefit show like a good dose of Alan Singley. The bespectacled and perpetually smiley Singley performs solo minus his Pants (Machine), and we've heard that he has enough new songs already built up to finish a new record—even though the sunny orchestrated pop of Feelin' Citrus dropped just over two months ago. It's also just starting to get cold, so this is the best time of year for a sock drive. All donations go straight to P:ear, a killer nonprofit that helps out homeless youth in Portland. MICHAEL MANNHEIMER. P:ear Gallery, 338 NW 6th Ave., 226-6677. |
