MONDAY

COMEDY

Jonathan Van Ness: Imaginary Living Room Olympian Past Event List
Can you believe? Beloved hair stylist, noted Michelle Kwan stan, and Queer Eye's resident Aries Jonathan Van Ness will head to Portland, probably to make us laugh, spin some uplifting yarns, and show off their perfectly coiffed locks.
(Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, South Park Blocks)

LIVE MUSIC

METZ: 10 Year Anniversary Tour
Past Event List Toronto noise-punks METZ play sludgy post-hardcore that’ll ooze out of your pores and stay under your fingernails long after they’re done. Live, the three-piece unflinchingly drenches you with sonic gasoline and then forces you to endure a pyrotechnics show. It’s both overwhelming and abrasive—but don’t worry, you’ll love every second of it. CIARA DOLAN
(Doug Fir Lounge, Buckman)

 

Pond Past Event List
Australian psych-pop ensemble Pond, who has toured with the likes of the Arctic Monkeys, MGMT, and Flaming Lips, will stop by on their North American tour to support their 2021 album, 9, which Rolling Stone called "an exhilarating ride through multiple ideas all being born at once." Don't miss an opening set from LA-based alt-rock band Cryogeyser.
(Revolution Hall, Buckman)

TUESDAY

LIVE MUSIC

Amon Amarth Past Event List
Longtime Swedish metalheads Amon Amarth, whom former Stranger contributor Jason Bracelin described as "the AC/DC of melodic Swedish Viking death metal sans the paunchy, cake-fed replacement singer with Loki-like ’tude," will stop by Portland to wreak havoc on their Great Heathen tour. Don't miss opening sets from heavy metal trio Carcass, death metal heavies Obituary, and vegetarian deathgrind band Cattle Decapitation.
(Roseland Theater, Old Town-Chinatown)

PARTIES & NIGHTLIFE

Birth-Tay: A Taylor Swift Birthday Celebration Dance Party Past Event List
Celebrate the biggest day of the year (we're talking about Taylor Swift's birthday, obviously) with a birth-Tay dance party featuring all your favorite tunes from her country days to Midnights, and everything in between. This is probably the only acceptable place to request "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" at the DJ booth.
(Holocene, Buckman)

READINGS & TALKS

The Moth Mainstage
Past Event List The Moth's public story-sharing events have encouraged community, vulnerability, and connection across the world. This edition of the now-classic event, co-organized by Literary Arts and hosted by Peter Aguero, brings a fresh lineup of storytellers to the stage, including Eastern Shawnee Tribe citizen Alistair Bane and The Sports Bra List founder Jenny Nguyen.
(Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, South Park Blocks)

Science Pub Portland: Ancient Superpowers: A Look Into Prehistoric Bones and What They Tell Us
Past Event List Paleontologist Nico Spadafora looks closely at dinosaur "superpowers" in this prehistoric edition of Science Pub. In case you weren't already aware, Mesozoic dinos and ancient megafauna were pretty damn cool—but they also possessed characteristics "from brain to brawn" that made them uniquely powerful. Spadafora, who has also interned at the Oregon Zoo and worked as a wilderness educator at Trackers Earth, is currently hard at work on a book about woolly mammoths, short-faced bears, and sabertooth cats, so bring your questions that Jurassic Park can't answer.
(McMenamins Kennedy School, Concordia)

WEDNESDAY

ACTIVISM & SOCIAL JUSTICE

Art, Dance and Change - Celebrate with Neighbors for Clean Air
Past Event List Local nonprofit Neighbors for Clean Air works to keep Oregonians breathing freely by advocating for policy change, strengthening regulations, and educating the community about air pollution.

(Openhaus Coworking, King)

COMEDY

Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Christmas? Past Event List
You might know Matt Rogers from the podcast Las Culturistas, or from the barebacking bit in the movie Fire Island, or from his voice on Q-Force. And now you will know him as the spirit of the holidays, thanks to his new musical revue Have You Heard of Christmas? in which he will perform original songs inspired by Christmas, a holiday. This live show is an adaptation of songs from Rogers’ new Showtime comedy special, which is real and tells the generally-fictionalized story of how he created a live Christmas show that has become iconic and beloved, or at least it will if you bozos buy tickets to see it. Somehow both sentimental and sarcastic, Matt’s show-within-a-show-about-a-show is the sort of weird mind-bender that has the power to beguile cynics who are exhausted by the season before it even begins, and also weirdos who live in Christmas Tree Shops year-round. May your holiday be as festive as it is horny. STRANGER STAFF WRITER MATT BAUME
(Aladdin Theater, Brooklyn)

Skweezy Jibbs Caps Lock Live Xmas Edition
Past Event List This holiday edition of Skweezy Jibbs's interactive show Caps Lock Live promises "stories, surprises, contests, prizes, chaos, [and] fun." We'll take it! An appearance by local stud Adam Pasi sweetens the deal.
(Siren Theater, Old Town-Chinatown)

FILM

We Are Aileen's Screening honoring International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers Past Event List
Facilitated by peer-led organization Aileen's, which creates hospitality space for women working along the Pacific Highway in Washington, this screening of We Are Aileen's will honor the upcoming International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. The short film contemplates the legacy of the organization's namesake, Aileen Wuornos, and shares how those involved in the organization support each other.
(Central Library, Downtown)

LIVE MUSIC

Channel Tres
Past Event List Having shared stages with artists like Vince Staples and JPEGMAFIA, Compton-hailing DJ, producer, and musician Channel Tres brings his unique blend of house-infused hip-hop and R&B back to town for a headlining set of his own, supporting his latest album refresh.
(Wonder Ballroom, Eliot)

Hollis with Chong the Nomad Past Event List
You may have caught Alda Agustiano’s moniker, Chong the Nomad, in the credits for “Lazy Susan,” the lead single from 2021 Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The producer brings her poppy, complex electronic tracks down to Portland next month, with fellow Seattleite and singer-songwriter Hollis Wong-Wear. Now going simply by Hollis, Wong-Wear is perhaps best known as the lead vocalist for R&B trio the Flavr Blue, and a 2014 Grammy nomination for her work on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ The Heist. The co-headliners co-wrote and performed “Take Two” in the summer of 2020—and we can’t see a more likely outcome for the bill than the two performing it together. Hollis’ recent album Subliminal is a whole vibe—of sparkling and celestial gems like “Bloom Indigo.” We’re also hoping Hollis treats us to some Flavr Blue cut, maybe “We Can Go Blind?” Just putting it out there. PORTLAND MERCURY CONTRIBUTOR JENNI MOORE
(Doug Fir Lounge, Buckman)

The Smile
Past Event List For their side project The Smile, Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood joined forces with drummer Tom Skinner (of jazz outfit Sons of Kemet) to stir up a unique potion of post-punk, progressive rock, Afrobeat, and electronic music. They will support their debut album, A Light for Attracting Attention, which Pitchfork called a "raw-boned rock number," reminiscent of Radiohead's sophomore album The Bends. British composer Robert Stillman will open. 
(Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, South Park Blocks)

THURSDAY

LIVE MUSIC

Sunbathe with Scout Gillett and The Mommys
Past Event List For many, Sunbathe's 2020 Somewhere In Between was the emotional record that got them through early portions of the pandemic, and the solo garage pop project of Maggie Morris (Genders, Youth) is still reliably holding our hearts together with relatable feels. Morris recently released a new single “Anything Anymore” which paints in shades of grief a visit to the beach after the death of a beloved dog. It just feels wrong. Over desert rock-infused production, she mournfully sings: “I'll see you run in the sand / I'll see you smiling again / But being here without you doesn't feel right / Even though it hurts I keep you on my mind.” We have our fingers crossed to also hear more upbeat gems like “Can’t Be Sure,” which has a cool, must-watch music video made with footage from old PSA videos like Girls Are Better Than Ever (1967) and Drug Are Like That (1979). Brooklyn, NY indie rock act Scout Gillett and the Mommys get the night started. PORTLAND MERCURY CONTRIBUTOR JENNI MOORE
(Doug Fir Lounge, Buckman)

LIVE MUSIC

Johnnyswim
Past Event List Nashville-hailing folk, soul, blues, and pop music duo, consisting of husband-and-wife singer-songwriters Amanda Sudano and Abner Ramirez, will support their self-titled latest album. The effort preserves the pop melodies of hyped acts like the Lumineers while never losing sight of the confessional songwriting of the Americana tradition. Plus, anticipate hearing some of their holiday-centric jams from their 2014 album, A Johnnyswim Christmas.
(Revolution Hall, Buckman)

Patterson Hood (of Drive-By Truckers)
Past Event List What a generous and wonderful gift the artistic output of Patterson Hood has turned out to be. The son of one of the greatest bassists who ever lived—David Hood of Muscle Shoals, Alabama—Patterson’s legacy would have been assured even if he’d just dipped his toe in the waters of his dad’s profession. But as it turns out, Hood not only co-fronts one of the most prolific and fiery rock bands of the past two decades (Drive-By Truckers), he’s carried on a simultaneous solo career in music and become a fantastic essayist and storyteller, exploring the conflict of the two Americas and the redemptive power of music. NED LANNAMANN
(Doug Fir Lounge, Buckman)

Snow Bar Chorale: A Holiday Pop Songs Singalong Past Event List
If you prefer your holiday music to come from the likes of Fleet Foxes and Joni Mitchell as opposed to old-heads like Bing Crosby, don't miss Low Bar Chorale's seventh annual pop and indie-rock holiday sing-along, which will be sprinkled with stories, special guests, and music trivia.
(Mississippi Studios, Boise)

PERFORMANCE

Perfect for those of you on the naughty list, this showcase includes tantalizing burlesque, boylesque, and draglesque on a bawdy yuletide theme.
(Alberta Rose Theatre, Concordia)

(Bossanova Ballroom, Buckman)

Christmas With Creed Bratton
Past Event List "Do you want to see a foot with four toes?" Legendary weirdo and Renaissance man Creed Bratton will stop by Portland (alongside DJ Fatboy) to share a few Christmassy chuckles, and hopefully a song or two from his 2020 album Slightly Altered. This performance doubles as a toy drive, so consider bringing an unwrapped toy for a kiddo in need.
(Wonder Ballroom, Eliot)

FILM

Psychotronic After School Christmas Special
Past Event List Local film archivist and programmer Greg Hamilton will present another mind-bending 16mm screening this month, adding to the mix of psychedelic film compilations that've been popular in Portland lately. This Christmas edition of Psychotronic After School Special is a raucous holiday mash-up of vintage commercials, aliens, for-hire Santas, and other hard-to-find festive footage. (Wanna learn more about the man behind the madness? Check out this profile on Hamilton.)

The annual tradition was first coined in 2015 to celebrate 10 Barrel's Pearl IPA, and this year will bring new "Pearl-driven" IPAS, Lagers, stouts and sours from new brewmaster Madeleine "Mads" McCarthy.

Catch him supporting his debut album, Who Hurt You?, which draws inspiration from Ed Sheeran, J. Cole, and Frank Ocean with its stripped-down acoustic-pop production, effusive lyricism, and free-flowing neo-soul song structure. Like-minded Canadian pop singer Johnny Orlando will open.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio in 35mm Past Event List
