Dreamdecay has operated out of Seattle for the past half-decade, but in many ways the group is bound to Portland’s all-ages scene. They regularly played at Laughing Horse Books until it closed in 2014, and were as essential to that community as erstwhile local favorites Cower and Grandfather. With the recent enlistment of two Portlanders, those ties have only strengthened—John Gee of Kidcrash and Carrion Spring has assumed second-guitar duties, while Jon Scheid of U Sco (and formerly of flagship emo band Duck. Little Brother, Duck!) has joined the group on synthesizers.
