Earlier this week we teased you with a few details on this year’s PDX Pop Now! festivities, but here is everything else you need to know.
1. The annual salute to local all-age music will run July 24-26th at Rotture.
2. Their compilation release show will take place at Holocene (yet, it’s an all-age show) on June 4th with the following lineup: Copy, Jared Mees & the Grown Children, What’s Up?, Taxpayers and DJ Beyonda. Your $10 admission also fills your pocket with a copy of the compilation release. Yay.
3. The lineup for the compilation has just been announced…

I’ve never been to an all-ages at Holocene. Do they still serve adult-style beverages? Because if they don’t… well fuck them in that case.
They do! At least, they did last year. I assume they will this year as well.
Getting an adult beverage at the Holocene is miserable. The line is always such a clusterfuck.
I always thought Holocene needed a separate beer/cash line. Or maybe a cash-only bar in the opposite corner.
I swear I’ve seen them do some sort of cash bar in the downstairs once. But maybe I’m just hallucinating that.
Just bring a flask.
I can confirm that Holocene will be serving alcoholic beverages to of-age patrons at the PDX Pop Now! 2009 comp release show even though it’s all-ages. Hope to see you there!
