No mattter how loud your objections, autumn is here. How better to deny that another summer has gotten away than by listening to the Cali-kissed anthems of San Francisco’s “Girls”? We’ve been eagerly awaiting this one ever since their single “Morning Light” dropped over a year ago (and in the spirit of the delicious summer snack that is Lay’s potato chips, we betcha you can’t watch this video just once).
These boys sure know how to tease.
If you have questions about the free passes we are giving away for the Nike shows at MusicfestNW, YOU MUST CLICK HERE AND READ CAREFULLY.
Please DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL US about these passes–all necessary information can be found in that post. The power of the internet is a beautiful thing, and in this case, following the rules will get you far.
Also, please note that WE ARE NOT SELLING TICKETS TO INDIVIDUAL MUSICFESTNW SHOWS. We are ONLY selling wristbands, which are good for the entire festival and cost $60 (cash only). Please check with MusicfestNW or individual venue sites for details on how to get tix to specific shows.
Sorry for the snark, lovers, but the sheer volume of calls about this stuff is overwhelming for us little dudes. We promise to be back to our normal loving selves after the phone calls stop.
Ok. We love you.
Don’t forget to come see THE REMAINS play with the NEW DAWN this Friday at Berbati’s!
THE REMAINS were THE opening band for the Beatles on their 1966 tour, and this will be the ONLY Portland show they have ever played. To add to the one-of-a-kind experience, the NEW DAWN will be playing their psych masterpiece “There’s a New Dawn” in it’s entirety–the only time this has ever been done.
Read what the Portland Mercury is saying, or hell, just show up! Tickets available at both Jackpot Records locations or here.
September 9, 1850: California become the 31st state.

In honor of this special occasion, Jackpot Records will be offering a special BEATLEMANIA sale. From 9/9 to 9/14, stop in and pick up any of the reissued Beatles albums for only $12.95 (with the exception of “The White Album” and “Past Masters,” which will be on sale for $19.95)! Each purchase comes with a limited, special edition BEATLES numbered lithograph (while supplies last).
We’ve been awaiting this day. Oh yes. In a few short weekz, Jackpot Recordz will be hosting the fine young ladiez of EXPLODE INTO COLORS. Fer realz. Have you seen the mad skillz these ladiez possess? I may have written those last few sentences with a lot of extraneous “zzzzz”s, but they are certainly no snooze fest.
Come one, come all. Watch this percussive badassery live and in person. Try not have your mind blown…or exploded (…yeah, sorry, that was too easy, I couldn’t resist). The show will be great, even if the humor in this post is not.
Thursday, September 24th. 6 pm. At the DOWNTOWN store. FREE. All ages.

Can you taste it? The anticipation? MusicFest NW is just around the corner. (On second thought, don’t try to taste it. Sweaty.) Make sure to grab a Willamette Week so you can begin to map it out. Time is of the essence. So much to see!
