Like A Drum (Sirsymusic). Review by Christopher Long
Circa Survive and Dredg put on a pair of performances at Orlando’s House of Blues that should officially release them from their previous emo trappings. Jen Cray reports.
In which our hero, Addam Donnelly , gets his dirty old church mouth cleaned out by Portugal. The Man , and a sound that defies description. Fortunately, he expected the unexpected.
After an unusual Orlando set, Portugal. The Man’s talented John Baldwin Gourley stepped outside for a chat with Jen Cray.
For their second trip to Orlando in just three months time, Portugal the Man took a backseat in billing (to Rock Votolato), and quietly appeared as an opener at the same venue that they had previously sold out on their own. Jen Cray was back for a second helping of these Alaska boys.
Church Mouth (Fearless). Review by Jen Cray.
The blues-soaked, funk-sprinkled, new progressive sounds of Alaska’s Portugal The Man made an evening of mediocre bands worth it for Jen Cray.

This week, Christopher Long goes “gaga” over discovering an ’80s treasure: an OG vinyl copy of Spring Session M, the timeless 1982 classic from Missing Persons — for just six bucks!
Both bold experiment and colossal failure in the 1960s, Esperanto language art house horror film Incubus returns with pre-_Star Trek_ William Shatner to claim a perhaps more serious audience.
