This week's Mercury Music Picks showcases a rich variety of music events in Portland, emphasizing the ongoing PDX Jazz Festival and genres including punk and shoegaze. The article details two prominent shows: Glixen, a shoegaze band from Phoenix, with an opening act composed of notable artists, and a DIY punk show featuring several hardcore and death metal bands such as Spy and Creeping Death. A new local section also provides updates on Portland’s music scene, inviting engagement from a diverse audience.
For fans of Trauma Ray, Urika's Bedroom, My Bloody Valentine, hot on the heels of their excellent new EP, Quiet Pleasures, we find the Phoenix four-piece, Glixen on tour and, thank goodness, they're stopping in Portland.
In typical DIY punk fashion, the band-to-cost ratio of this show is bonkers. Bay Area destroyers, Spy are one of the toughest bands on the hardcore scene, putting on a high energy show that'll have you starting your own band.
