EDM/Rave Scene?

Was wondering if there was another forum or resource to find events for EDM specific events?

Buddy and I wanted to go to one but our schedule limits us to Wednesdays and Thursdays. I know Bridge City is coming up but doesn't align with our schedule sadly. If there are any raves or similar happenings as well we could hit up that would be awesome as well!

Venues For A Tuesday Afternoon?

Do you have or know of a nice club that might be open to having a band play some shows on Tuesday afternoons (early evening)? This would be a professional performance, ideally with a stage available. The style is classic rock. If that's a slow time for you, maybe we can build something special.

The band info will be added when ready. Currently updating promo, videos, etc. You can guess by the title the theme is The Moody Blues.​

Some clubs are very small and don't have room for a proper show. Others are geared toward heavy rock, psych, etc. so may not have much seating, Maybe the space is very dark and it's hard to see the performers.

So "nice" means to me that there is a stage or at least an area designated for the band, comfortable seating, maybe even a dinner menu. In other words, where the show can be more about the music, and the band is not there only as a background element. Although dancing to the music is definitely in the picture as well.

I'd love to see ideas here or feel free to PM me.

Teaching spaces for rent?

Does anyone have any recommendations for spaces to rent to teach orchestra string instruments? I’ve done some research but many spaces catered for music are mainly for rehearsals (not sure if commercial activity is allowed), and is rented out in hourly rates. I’m looking for spaces that I can rent by the month, and is ok with music lessons. Bonus points if it’s on the west side and has parking.

If anyone knows a space like this or has one, please let me know! Thank you for reading this!

In search of...Moody Blues fans.

Are you a fan of the Moody Blues and their music? Do you miss seeing them in concert? I do too.

Behind the scenes, a tribute is growing that is worthy of their legacy. Right now, I'm trying to find as many Moody Blues fans in the Portland metro area as I can. So we can all celebrate this magical music that we love.

Please let me know if you'd like to get on our email list of updates. Will also post updates here of course.

I know you're out there somewhere...

looking for accordionist / small polka band

I throw a "Cabbage Festival" in my backyard every year and this year, it's taking place on a big birthday of mine. For that reason, I'm looking to hire/book a few musicians (or even just one) to play some polka music for 45 minutes or so, on a Saturday evening in early October. I haven't had any luck finding anyone yet who can do something besides German/Oktoberfest polka, and I'm looking more for Eastern European or Balkan influenced polka or folk music.

Any ideas?

Guitar lessons for intermediate level student in NE Portland. Recommendations needed?

I’m looking for a good guitar teacher to help take my playing to the next level. I’m focused on blues, bluegrass and folk genres. (I caught Gillian Welch last night and was blown away! 😀)
I’d be up for bi-weekly or monthly sessions. I can schedule evenings, but I’m also in the position to do daytime sessions during the week. I’ve taken lessons before, and I’ve found that an instructor who is a friendly and personable is almost as essential as the musical acumen. I realize that’s a two way street, so if you have a recommendation for someone or are someone that may be a match, DM me or post contact info for a conversation. Thanks all!

Guitar player for fun.

Hey guys, my name is Duffy. For the last twenty two years I've been working for the union pacific railroad and traveling the united states as part of my employment. Recently I realized that I don't go out and have fun as much as I used to, so I decided to brighten up my journey. I bought an acoustic guitar and take it with me everywhere. My goal is to find a guitar player in every city I travel to to play my guitar. I record it and post it on an instagram channel I created to preserve my journey. If you are interested or know anyone who might be, please give me a shout.

What does it take to fine band mates

I’m tired of putting out ads for musicians to join our band, getting responses of interest and then being ghosted. Or being told that driving across town to rehearse is “too far”.

Any extreme bands coming through?

Moved in the area about 3 months ago and I've been lacking some grind core, power violence, death metal shows. I've gone to hardcore, punk, and indie shows but sometimes I just need that extreme music

I'm a pedal builder in the area! I'm looking to offer repair services and do commissions!

Hey all!

I'm in the PDX area and I've been spending a lot of time recently creating custom pedals and creating my own clones of popular pedals. I am looking to potentially start selling some of my clones to folks in the area! Some of the clones I have created boards for are: several different types of fuzzes, OD's, distortions, compression, and a Trem, each one I can build to order, and come in a fun 3D printed case. I can diagnose and repair basic hardware issues, and through-hole vintage pedals, and I can also research and make custom/requested pedals if folks are interested! Outside of pedals, I can also do basic guitar repairs!

The pedals in the pic are the following:

  • "Wolfgang Puck" - Silicon Fuzzface clone (I do also have a stock of Germanium transistors as well, for a more vintage sound, and can include a bias knob!)
  • "Cacti Ruidoso" - TS808 clone
  • "Current Events" - MXR Microamp clone
  • "The Jetset" - A Jordan Boss-tone fuzz replica with a diode clipping switch (Can toggle between a "Spirit in the Sky" or "Can't Get No Satisfaction" tone)

Not pictured/in development:

  • "Tremmy Turner" - A self developed, really basic tremolo system with a rate and depth knob, comes in a water droplett case.
  • "Rocky" - A self developed dirt pedal, has a volume and tone knob and leans on transistors and LED's to get some light dirt and boost, comes in a diamond shaped case.
  • "Lab Rat" - Rat clone, comes in a beaker shaped case.
  • "The Juice" - An Orange Squeezer compressor, comes in an orange (y'know like the fruit) themed puck-style case.

I hope this is okay to post! Feel free to send me a DM if you're interested :)
