Club Nowhere x Opal Underground presents: Jeffrey Sfire w/ Sappho & DJ Orso – 21+
Portland nightlife staple Opal Underground and recently debuted Club Nowhere, are teaming up to bring you a night of dance-forward, house music, queer clubbing! Opal Underground x Club Nowhere present: Jeffrey Sfire Jeffrey Sfire’s introduction to the underground dance scene and illegal warehouse parties of Detroit occurred at the tender age of 15. This escape from suburba led him to some of the city’s most talented DJs and musicians, who soon exposed him to a new culture of creative riches. Learning by example, Sfire’s taste and skills as a DJ developed naturally and he soon began playing out at parties, clubs and sleazy gay after hours, usually entering covertly through back doors or with a fake ID. A move to Chicago exposed Sfire to a whole other side of dance music history, including “Italo Disco” and genre jumping dj styles of the Hotmix 5 radio djs. He spent afternoons digging through record store crates, meeting retired DJs and developing his musical palette. Having held numerous club residencies, he regularly plays at Cocktail D’amore and Panorama Bar in Berlin, The Carry Nation and Wrecked in New York, Hard French in San Francisco, Honcho events, and his own party Club Toilet and Loosen Up in Detroit, consistently offering a finely-tuned selection of Acid House, Italo Disco, Latin Freestyle, & 90’s NYC House. In 2013 Jeffrey and SOPHIE released the first untitled “Sfire” record on Cocktail d’Amore Music out of Berlin which has become a cult classic. Since then the duo has released 3 more untitled “Sfire” records. He is currently living in Detroit and is one half of the Italo/Electro duo Looky Looky with Ian Clark released on Dark Entries records of San Francisco. Opening sets from Sappho & DJ Orso

SCHAUS (album release show!) w/ YAWA (Amenta Abioto) + Ghost Piss – 21+
Schaus began nearly a decade ago in the Pacific Northwest. They are joined by Chris Hermsen and Hasan Mahmood live to bridge the gap between feeling and reality. Their angular pop music routinely coincides with unique visual pieces ranging from various animation styles to 3d. The live set is the synthesis of the uncanny valley, an episode of Tim & Eric, and a heartfelt karaoke song for a lover at night’s end.Their music is characterized by its dreamy atmospheres, lush soundscapes, and introspective lyrics. They have released a number of singles and EPs, and will be releasing their third album, Lovers Loop, on September 26th.YAWA (aka Amenta Abioto): Amenta Abioto is a singer, songwriter, producer, performance artist from Memphis, TN. In her one-woman show, she builds vocal and instrumental loops from kalimba, synthesizer, drum machine, and guitar creating atmospheric textures. Weaved into syncopated rhythms and dichotomies of comedic proportions, Amenta surprises and tantalizes audiences with mind bending ideas while skipping musically from soul-shaking gospel to smooth jazz. Boldly mystical and soul-fired, her raw live performances invoke elements of both theatrical surprise and magic through ancient African diasporic sounds and stories. Amenta studied drama and was familiarized with the stage. Her solo project made debut in at house show in Spring of 2012. Since then, Amenta has released three projects and toured with The Blow, Secret Drum Band, Typhoon, and The Ghost Ease. GHOST PISS is a diy music producer and singer song writer new to Portland via Brooklyn, here to remind you that emotions are beautiful, pink is punk, and life is fun. Torn between pop and experimental worlds, I only feel right when I incorporate elements of both. When not playing music, I work as a botanist and resource advisor on wild fires in the Oregon woods.
