FRIDAY
LIVE MUSIC
Motrik
Claiming the title of “America’s Best Krautrock Band,” Portland-based Møtrik returns with their fourth studio album EARTH, released last month. The record sports an eye-catching cover on which “Jerry the dog” runs across an Oregon beach with the title burning in neon letters above him. You can get your hands on a signed copy of the “ocean blue” colored vinyl this Friday at Music Millennium after rocking out to a special in-store performance from the band. The music is full of driving guitar melodies, echoey vocals, and sci-fi inspired synths; nothing like a free, high-energy show to jumpstart the weekend! SHANNON LUBETICH
