Guantanamo Baywatch
In June 2001, Stumptown employees stayed after hours at the original location on Southeast Division to record Worker’s Comp, Volume 1. Last year the Portland-based coffee roaster brought employees from Stumptown locations across the country to record Volume 2 at the Map Room with producer Mike Coykendall. Unveiled in May, highlights from the new collection include tracks from the Tamed West (“My Old Friend”), Longclaw (“Tower”), and Uncle Hornet (“Uncle Hornet Flies Again”). They’re celebrating its release tonight at Doug Fir with Portland’s own Guantanamo Baywatch (along with some surprise special guests), whose 2017 album Desert Center sounds like it was born on orange shag carpet. It’s got Dick Dale-style surf guitar riffs, interludes of sinister laughter and nonsensical incantations, Spaghetti Western cowboy fantasies, and doo-wop punk melodies that’d make John Waters’ pencil mustache wiggle with glee.
