Bikini Creature Beach Feature, is a satirical take on anything from the Frankie & Annette 1960′s beach party movies, grind-house biker flicks, to the B-horror genre; a bouillabaisse of characters like the one-gorilla wrecking crew Randy Bananas, sexy, pregnant and dune-buggy obsessed wiccan, The Sand Witch, the shambling & acrobatic terror of The Sea Monster, and a gaggle of bikini clad beach girls!

This show has no redeeming social-value WHATSOEVER, so if sex, drugs, rock & roll and little people offend Read the rest of this entry »

Goodfoot Lounge
2845 SE Stark Street

Portland’s The Blue Cranes create music that is as invigorating as it is disarming. Working a thin line between improvisation and catchiness, Blue Cranes arrive at a unique place. They have found a way to make exploration seem like the most enjoyable process around.

The group, composed of Reed Wallsmith (alto saxophone), Sly Pig (tenor saxophone), Rebecca Sanborn (keyboards), Keith Brush (acoustic bass), and Ji Tanzer (drums), began working together as a quintet in 2007 (originally recording as a quartet in 2006).

Since then, the band has begun to reap the rewards of collective articulation: a truly individual sound that depends on the contributions of each member. Tonight they are joined by Read the rest of this entry »

BRIDES OF MARCH
Saturday, March 12
2 p.m. | FREE

Pioneer Courthouse Square
715 SW Morrison St.

Simple concept: Get a bridal dress from a thrift store or something. A white one. If you don’t show up in a white dress, you ain’t coming along. If you bring a friend or a date or some stalkers, and they are not wearing a wedding dress, they ain’t coming along. No wedding photographers, grooms, bridesmaids, caterers, etc. If all else fails, a white skirt and top, some random lacy bits tied on, and some flowers will fit the bill nicely.
