Portland locals Is/Is opened a sold-out show at the Doug Fir on Friday night with Seattle's Prom Queen and La Luz. We've been lucky to have La Luz visit Portland so often over the past couple years, and their following has visibly grown. They last played in town at Rotture with Shannon and the Clams in December, only to sell out their own headlining show a month later. Their full-length from 2013, It’s Alive, energizes a classic sound and they sell it well—they clearly have a good time on stage. Not to mention that sunshine-y, lo-fi sound—a little surf rock in January is good for the soul. All three lady power bands made for a great, inspiring show, and I loved the addition of Prom Queen. If I wasn’t swooning over the '80s cupcake dress, I was definitely swooning over her sultry and sweet vocals.

Lots of photos after the jump!
