Events It's Happening Tonight!
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 2:45 PM
GET BENT—Once a year, dozens of garage bands convene at the Slabtown Bender, the rawkingest weekend in Portland. Tonight's the kickoff, so from now 'til Sunday the tunes will flow like cheap beer, from pristine pop to the skuzziest punk imaginable. Leave your fancy pants at home. NL
w/Head, Bare Wires, the Coconut Coolouts, Ty Segall, & more; Slabtown, 1033 NW 16th, 6 pm, $12 ($25/three-day wristband)
SWAYZE—Tonight, local podcasters Cort and Fatboy present a loving tribute to the man—nay, the legend—that was Swayze. One of His greatest films—Road House, which some people feel is even better than Point Break—will be screening this evening, which means plenty of fun, plenty of Cort and Fatboy, plenty of beer, and plenty of Swayze. R.I.P., Patrick. EH
Bagdad Theater, 3702 SE Hawthorne, 11 pm, $3, 21+
Get busy, amigo. My, What a Busy Week!
