The first shows for the new Revolution Hall—the auditorium inside the newly refurbished Washington High School building in inner SE Portland—have been announced. They'll take place around Valentine's Day, and it's being considered Rev Hall's "Preview Weekend," as the venue will not start having regularly scheduled shows until its grand opening in April. Performers for the preview weekend include the Alialujah Choir, Wild Ones, Live Wire! Radio, and the Mercury's own Dan Savage. Take a look at what Revolution Hall's got in store:

Thursday, February 12: Alialujah Choir, Wild Ones
A co-headline bill and Alialujah Choir's album release. Tickets on sale tomorrow at 8 am here.

Friday, February 13: Unlucky in Love: A pre-Valentine's Pity Party with Dan Savage
Tickets on sale tomorrow at 8 am here.

Saturday, February 14: Live Wire! Season Opener
Tickets on sale tomorrow at 8 am here.

Revolution Hall is an 850-seat venue (including balcony) although all these shows are general admission. The folks at Mississippi Studios and True West (Aladdin Theater) have totally reworked the 1922 theater, with new lighting and sound and full-service bars, etc.—the works.
