END OF SUMMER PARTY! ft: Tenants, Bendre the Giant, Trauma Club – 21+

The debut full length album, ‘Nighttime Sunshine,’ is a true feat of collaboration, and manages to embody the three distinct musical voices of each member. At the heart of the record, lies a bold fusion of genres – from the infectious rhythms of disco, the emotive melodies of synth-pop, to the smooth sounds of yacht rock, and the raw energy of alt rock.

Tenants worked alongside Portland producer Cameron Spies (Radiation City, Night Heron, Whimz) and together they merged many diverse influences and aesthetics into a cohesive sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

 
BENDRE THE GIANT:
From Portland, Oregon, BendreTheGiant is the Neo-Soul Power Pop group led by Ben Estrada. Estrada has been releasing music since 2020, but his 2024 releases mark the first time he has brought in outside collaborators: BendreTheGiant is now a six-piece band that includes keyboardist Delos Erickson, guitarist Avery Scanlon, bassist Eli Hansen, drummer Nate Hansen, and saxophonist Ben Harris. 

In 2024 BendreTheGiant released an EP, “Get Well Soon,” and pair of singles, “Nobody Knows” and “Make It Stop.” Their forthcoming EP, “Wading In The Deep End,” will be released on Friday, March 7, and coincides with a tour of Oregon, California, and Washington. BendreTheGiant has been featured on OPB, the Dan Cable Podcast, and Eugene Weekly, and was a 2024 winner of MusicOregon’s Echo Fund artist grant.
