Free music ish… Who is Kane? On some message boards this has been a popular thread as this mix has surfaced – http://www.mediafire.com/?wmyzrz3dlwt – which is causing tons of people to speculate that it is a side project of Girl Talk.

A new audiovisual center is hosting a huge celebration — open bar hour starting at 9pm, DJ P, Egyptian Lover, Datsik, Megaladon, Tyler Tastemaker, Merchants Of, Behnibubu, DJ Mercedes and tons more!

From Cherry City Music:
Often mistaken as jaded hipsterism, Salemites love the true essence of independent, authentic culture. A quick tour of the bars and clubs around town will convert even the most discriminating skeptic of appropriated culture. We're the real thing.

The Cherry City Music Festival exposes the "specialness" of Salem to the world. Featuring many of the city's homegrown bands, we keep it real while hosting some of the nation's most influential independent bands and labels. With three nights of concerts and after parties in century-old performance halls, townies and out-of-towners forge relationships that leave permanent impressions.

On Sunday April 11th 2010 come together with Portland's Best Tattoo Studios and get inked for a great cause. Spots are now being booked at the following studios with all proceeds supporting AMP's summer scholarship Program

AMP Summer Scholarship Fund Raiser

This Annual Scholarship was born from a necessity to ensure youth development in the arts and allow those youth who strive to further their education a chance to achieve college level art classes. To find out how you can be a part of changing a life through art and education check out www.amprocks.org or call William at 503-481-4970 , you'll be amazed at how little it takes to help youth go so far.

AMP-The Artist Mentorship Program (AMP) creates art and music opportunities for youth in a safe and healthy environment. AMP helps youth gain confidence by building artistic, social, and emotional skills through the arts. Youth are mentored and given instruction by working professional artists and musicians in the Portland community
