Fans of oddity and eclecticism, here is a bill for you! Fresh off the release of their new album Valis, local heroes Reptaliens lit up Pickathon last month with their funky take on synth-pop (and some guest lizards and aliens dancing onstage). Local weirdos Weeed are the band behind You Are the Sky, a meandering psych-noise-rock trip and one of the most unpredictable records to come out of Portland this year. And Marinero is a Bay Area project helmed by Chicanx singer/songwriter Jess Sylvester, whose newest album Trópico de Cáncer is a lovely blend of lounge music, psych-pop, bossa nova beats, and vintage vibes. Good stuff all around! by Ben Salmon
