The Potlatch kids are bringing us yet another wonderful show with the fantastic acoustic indie goodness of Portland’s own Firs of Prey, Grey Anne, and fresh from a musical tour-by-bike, the lovely Malcolm Rollick. Just 6 bones gets you in for a Thursday to remember.

We’re throwing a New Year’s Eve party to keep The Parlour alive. The worker-owners behind The Parlour are definitely not the richest kids in town and to keep this cooperative going we need the help our musical community! Keep all ages shows and moustache wax alive!

Bring your New Year’s Bash to The Parlour – friends, family…everyone is invited. Cover is on a sliding scale starting at 5pm, anywhere from $1 to $100 (suggested: 5 bucks). Bring all your friends and have your party at The Parlour!

Bring your friends for happy hour prices if you wear a moustache!

And of course we’ll have musical guests! If you want to play, shoot us an email – we’ll fit you in! Here’s the lineup for your audible enjoyment:

Shinto
Secnd Best
Silver & Glass
Deke Logan
Faithless Saints

and more! Hooray!

A portion of the night will be open mic for your drunken singing pleasure! (insert unecessary exclamation points here!!!!)

Our Bright Lights Pt. 1 @ The Parlour from oknowitsfuntime on Vimeo.

Our dear friends at Potlatch Presents came down last week with a lovely show of unplugged jesusey folk and sincere vocal quality. Living room lamp in place to bring somewhat of a brighter light on our intimate space warmed the Parlour into a bit of a house show (but at a venue). Austin, Drew & Jesus, Ghosties, Glass Teeth and Sweeping Exits swept us away into a night of acoustic bliss, and here’s the video to show for it. Make sure to catch all these Potlatch kids at the rest of their Our Bright Lights series at other lovely small venues and homes around Portland!

Time to shake off the gusto and heaviness brought on by Thanksgiving holiday.
Get out and chill out! Come down to The Parlour for a post-turkey weekend of Folk, Indie , and…Ghettotech?
