"The Rosehip Revue" Shimmies It's Way Into 2011

Oregon's largest ongoing burlesque spectacular begins the new year with brand new tricks up it's sleeve. . .

It has been whispered among Portland's alt-performance fan base that December's one-year anniversary celebration of the city's largest ongoing burlesque showcase, The Rosehip Revue, is going to be difficult to top. As it happens, the show's production team is notably prepared for such a feat. On the 3rd Friday in January, with a knowing nod and a suggestive wink, SinnSavvy Productions brings to you it's first burlesque spectacular of 2011!

While maintaining a seasoned base of burlesque-loving attendees, The Rosehip Revue has also overseen creation of new burlesque fans out of unsuspecting showgoers for one solid year– and it shows no signs of slowing. December's audience -upwards of two hundred bodies- confirmed the show's success with two standing ovations, and Read the rest of this entry »

Tomorrow is the official release date of Decemberists new album, “The King Is Dead”. Sadly, they will not be performing at the Music Millennium release event, but you can't get a signing and say “you were there” AND possibly get the free limited poster.

From press release:
THE DECEMBERISTS CD SIGNING / RECORD RELEASE EVENT!
Tuesday, 1/18 – 7 PM
www.decemberists.com

Music Millennium
32nd & E Burnside
503-231-8926

Inspired by a move to a more rural area outside the band's base of Portland, Oregon, frontman Colin Meloy started working on the kind of project he had long been thinking about–a set of more stripped-down, country-based songs.

The mostly-acoustic arrangements on The King Is Dead showcase the ways in which The Decemberists–Meloy, Chris Funk, Jenny Conlee, Nate Query, and John Moen–sound just as glorious in simple, concise compositions as they do on the elaborate structures that have defined their work for years. Free limited edition poster with purchase of “The King Is Dead”!

In August of 1968, a farm girl from rural Indiana stepped off a plane in Saigon, Viet Nam. The people and events that led her there and her subsequent adventures make for an extraordinary tale from a unique perspective that has never been shared before.

The history of the Viet Nam war has been told by many people: servicemen and women on both sides, government and diplomatic workers, journalists, Vietnamese civilians…Donna Miller was none of these things.  She chose to go to Viet Nam, alone, in the middle of the war Read the rest of this entry »
