PDX Pop Now! 2011 Schedule

Scrap whatever plans you had, there are too many good shows this weekend to do anything but watch live music. On Saturday alone, Portugal. The Man is playing a free show at Music Millenium, Scotland Barr's Slow Drags are celebrating his life and music with one last show at Dante's, and the Cults and Guards are playing Mississippi Studios.

On top of everything else, today kicks off PDX Pop Now!at Refuge PDX and the lineup loaded with some of my favorite local bands: Jared Mees, Weinland, the Minders, and And And And. Saturday features Archers, Lost Lander, Monarques, and Nurses, while Guidance Counselor close out the festival on Sunday night. But just as with their stellar compilation, I'm looking forward to hearing some of the bands I know almost nothing about.

Full lineup after jump.
