Mercury Music Picks: Going to Bootcamp, a Benefit for Synth Library Portland, and Portland Music News
"For fans of Dry Socket, Gouge Away, Cerce Headed to a delicious Thanksgiving with conservative family members? Need to open up a pit before you open up the skull of your cop uncle? The Bootcamp hotties are here to help. The noisy hardcore punks do be pummeling us with chunky riffs, letting all who listen know that 9/11 was an inside job and that AmeriKKKa is a fucking joke."
"For fans of King Krule, The xx, Nourished By Time London has always had an irresistible cool. It's a real city, international, DIVERSE. Signed to A24's record label, the music of Mark William Lewis feels like the perfect accompaniment for wandering aimlessly through Hackney and Shoreditch (or Portland in the fall). There's a chicness to being sad that few artists truly pull off, let's hope Mark William Lewis never goes to therapy."
"For fans of education, synthesis, malls Providing space for education, space for femmes and queers, and space for experimental concerts is Synth Library Portland. As an arts organization in 2025, they need help. The best way to support arts organizations in 2025? Go to events, bring friends, tell strangers! This, one of two upcoming SLP fundraisers, features live performances by Musique Mystique, Solenoid,"
An explicit rejection of Thanksgiving pairs with practical alternatives for support and protest in Portland. Several local organizations receive donation recommendations: Friends of Tyron Creek Native Arts & Cultures Foundation, NAYA Family Center, Painted Horse Recovery, and Portland Indigenous Marketplace. A lineup of concerts and events offers avenues for community action, including a noisy hardcore show at Bootcamp/High Limit Room and a Mark William Lewis performance at Polaris Hall. Synth Library Portland is running benefit fundraisers to sustain educational, queer, and experimental-music programming. Dates and venues are provided for shows across Tuesday, November 25 and Friday, November 28, inviting attendance and donations.
