Saturday's Tough Decisions

There are always plenty of good shows in Portland. Sometimes there are too many. That's the case this Saturday. Any of these would be great.

A Weather @ The Woods
One of Portland's most beautiful acoustic folk bands in a town with many. Not sure I'll be in the mood, but that doesn't mean I don't love them.

Ruby Suns @ Mississippi Studios
Loved their last album of afro pop, still getting into the new one.

Beach House @ Doug Fir
The biggest band on the list. Saw them live last year, before they released the album that turned me into a fan.

Hockey @ Wonder Ballroom
One of my favorite Portland bands. Each show seems more packed and ready to dance.

Moneybrother @ East End
Too bad these guys aren't playing with Hockey. They take soulful vocals in a different direction, closer to Joe Strummer than Rod Stewart.

If I hadn't seen Hockey already this year I'd be there in a second.

As it is, I won ticket to see the Ruby Suns, which I've never seen. Afterwards I might swing by the East End to see if they are running late. Who knows, it might be a double feature. Although that is a bit of a long shot.
