The Crystal Ballroom is honored to play host to another birthday celebration for the late great Fred Cole of legendary garage-rock trio Dead Moon. He and wife (“kickass garage bass player”) Toody influenced an entire generation of Pacific NW musicians. Fred was – as The New York Times noted in his obituary, “a cult hero of the Pacific Northwest music scene as the leader of the long-running garage-rock band Dead Moon… playing a rough and raw sound that long predated grunge’s noisy take on punk.” Toody Cole anchors the night along with Los Hackals and The Reverberations.
Last year’s celebration of Fred was so much fun that we decided to do it again! Join us as we toast the memory of one of Portland’s late great rock icons!
