I am absolutley zany for the Portland bands: Hockey & Broken Bells. I think they both have the potential to break out in a major way. Hockey has played the Bonnaroo Festival & apperaed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They are currently on tour in Europe.
Broken Bells has quite the pedigree. The band is a collaboration with artist/producer Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) & James Mercer, the lead vocalist & guitarist for the Portland indie rock band The Shins. The pair decided to work together after finding they were fans of each other's work.
Portland has an eclectic & vibrant music scene. Some of the Portland music scene: The Crazy 8s, The Dandy Warhols, Everclear, Storm Large, Courtney Love, The Shins, Modest Mouse, The Decemberists, M. Ward, Viva Voce, Laura Veirs, Frank Black, Mat Kearney, Sleater-Kinney, Nu Shooz, Chris Botti, Johnny Marr (The Smiths) Ana Matronic (Scissor Sisters), the late great- Elilott Smith, & the most adored- Pink Martini.
