A Night of Northwest Friends: The Angry Lisas, Yella Stone, Dreadlight – 21+
With their distinctive blend of raw authenticity and heartfelt music, The Angry Lisas have carved a unique space in the Portland rock music scene. Their last record, 2020’s “Slate Violet,” made a lasting impact, receiving accolades from critics and fans alike, while 2021’s “Winter” EP and their latest batch of singles from 2024 gained traction with their varied tone and deep, unique lyrical themes that are paving the way for what’s to come for the band in the future. Regret, nostalgia, gratitude, and sorrow intersect to create a restless tapestry of memories within The Angry Lisas’ songs. Over the past decade, primary songwriter Sean Taylor has collected these experiences that now manifest in the band’s bristling and emotionally charged music. For Taylor, writing is not merely a passion but a vital necessity, providing the means to process and heal from the chapters of his past. It serves as his “cheap man’s therapy.” Yella Stone is the voice of a new era in folktronica, blending edgy innovation with raw, emotional resonance. Her music is a sonic mosaic—distorted banjos, crushed violins, angelic harmonies— colliding to create a soundscape that’s equal parts grit and grace. Her new EP, “Fairy Folk,” captures the chaotic beauty of vulnerability, crystallizing Yella Stone’s unique sound into a body of work. In other words: Yella Stone is for people who cry in the mosh pit. Dreadlight’s Kandra Tolvstad and Toria, though coming from two very different musical worlds, are developing a unique sound where sweet harmonies soar over heavy instrumentation. Their music has been described as an experience that’s pleasantly headbangable. The two write from their own experiences, and dreams. They find it important to write about the deeper, more personal topics of life to show people, along with themselves, that they are not alone. Dreadlight strives to inspire people to be mindful of themselves, their mental health, and their communities. In 2022, Dreadlight were featured as backup vocalists on the debut album of Envy of None – Alex Lifeson of Rush’s new project, and this year (2025) were featured as backup vocalists on Dan Avidan’s (of Ninja Sex Party/Game Grumps) third solo acoustic cover album.
