Artsy / Music Wolves in the Throne Room Move Show to Rotture; Circadia Art Center Still Active

Hmm, I can see why the Fire Marshal might have concerns.
  • Hmm, I can see why the Fire Marshal might have concerns.
Washington black metal band Wolves in the Throne Room were scheduled to play a show at the Circadia Art Center this coming Wednesday, February 10. That show isn't happening at Circadia anymore—a post on WITTR's website suggests the newly hatched art center on NE Columbia has been shut down. Fortunately that isn't the case. Balam McNally, president of Circadia Art Center, told us this:
Circadia Art Center had been temporarily closed this past week. We are reopening with a moratorium on large gatherings while our sprinkler system is serviced and our fire monitoring system is reactivated. Studio usage and regularly scheduled classes will resume. I deeply regret not being able to host the Wolves in the Throne Room show on the 10th. I'm personally a fan and was looking forward to seeing them on my stage. We are working with the Fire Marshal to address his concerns so that normal operations can proceed as soon as possible... With all of the venues that have been closed or that are facing serious issues with the Portland Fire Bureau recently, there is a bit of a panic. Fortunately, the activities of Circadia Art Center are not limited to the live music events. This allows us to continue through this process.
So it's too bad that the show won't be happening there, but the good news is that the show has been moved and is now taking place at Rotture. What's more, it's still an all ages show! (21+ bar in Branx downstairs)

Wolves in the Throne Room w/Atriarch, Megaton Leviathan, Chasma; Rotture, 315 SE 3rd, Wed Feb 10, 9 pm, $10, all ages

End Hits: We'd like to get our "sprinkler system serviced" too!..... ugh. Sorry.

Phew! I'm glad that Circadia is still goin'. I went to a truly sweet rave there a couple weekends ago and marveled over the fact that Portland actually has such a pleasant performance space.
