Growing Pains w/ Grolixes, Crush – 21+
Growing Pains is a heavy pop band from Portland, Oregon. The band formed in 2016, when they met at a Portland after school music program. The members bonded over their adoration for early 2000s pop punk and emo, spending hours perfecting covers of their favorite songs before tackling their own material. The group soon made rounds through the Portland DIY circuit, playing scene staples such as Blackwater and Fail House. After releasing their debut album Heaven Spots, the band temporarily relocated to Eugene, where they wrote their next project. Leaving their pop-punk influences at home, the group took influence from the frenzied side of indie rock—choosing to channel the chaotic arrangements of My Bloody Valentine and Broken Social Scene. The fruition of this was the 2023 EP Through I Heard Your Car, produced at home by the band alongside Portland and Philadelphia DIY veteran Nathan Tucker (Cool Original, Strange Ranger). The release saw the band rocket through the PNW music scene, playing shows with indie luminaries Franz Ferdinand and Beabadoobee. In fall of 2024 Growing Pains will be returning to the studio to record their second LP, expected to arrive in 2025.

Singer-songwriter and guitar whiz Samuel Cody Matson inhabits country music’s long tradition of rhinestone cowboys— flashy costumes, white-hot solos, and a beefy baritone, but with a darkly comic songwriting style that betrays a deep vulnerability and uncertainty behind the glitz and glamor. They have been described as being “like Waylon on acid.” The band is rounded out by Zach Retzl on bass and Jonathan Ventrella on drums. H-Dawg & The Smawg Seven member Bongo-Based Garage Yacht act with a danceable edge. They will be releasing their first single off their new album “A Rock n’ Roll Fever Dream” due in May. Featuring Harrison Wallace on lead vocals and guitar, Ibolya Mandoki on backing vocals and sax, Caelum Cooney on lead guitar, Billy Manggala on bass and backing vocals, Issak Boorstein on keys and backing vocals, with Adam Sandgren on drums, and Logan Strong on drums/percussion.

Wake the Town 10 Year Anniversary w/ BAMBII (TIX AVAILABLE AT DOOR) – 21+
LIMITED TIX AVAILABLE AT DOOR Wake the Town is a dancefloor-focused event series based in Portland, Oregon, curated by DJs Barisone, Danny Corn, and PRSN. Known for its diverse range of genres and tempos, the event highlights the evolving sounds of modern bass music. Wake the Town has built its reputation on featuring forward-thinking artists from around the globe, played host to international events, and has garnered recognition from publications like Mixmag. BAMBII:Toronto-based producer and DJ, BAMBII, makes lush, exuberant electronic music that feels futuristic and transportive, but also burrows into your bones, matches the pounding of your heartbeat, all while reminding you of your corporeality. Her Juno award winning debut EP, Infinity Club, plays with these dueling impulses, weaving between the immediate and the conceptual. It is a celebration of home and belonging not only as a physical space – the dance floor, her family’s homeland of Jamaica, which she pays homage to via dancehall – but also as a state of mind. Whether online or on dancefloors, her political and musical vernacular give credence to dance music’s ever expanding reach, and the relationships it helps forge between individuals, cultures, and spaces. As proof, she has spent the last few years touring Europe, and Asia as a solo artist and on support for some of the world’s most relevant artists – Mykki Blanco, Kelela, and BbyMutha. On this side of the Atlantic, BAMBII is a Boiler Room mainstay, is hitting billboards throughout Times Square, and plays host to the infamous Toronto based event series ‘JERK’, showcasing the most exciting artists in the Caribbean diaspora. Publications are also keeping afloat – Wonderland, VOGUE, CRACK, DUMMY and DAZED all want a piece, and for good reason. Mixmag placed BAMBII’s name near the top of the list of DJs Who Defined 2024.
