As if there's not enough going on in our neck of the woods, there's a couple upcoming music fests in Portland too. July 24-26 is the sixth annual PDX Pop Now!, a free, all-ages fest set to include Portland-centric performers Menomena, Shaky Hands, Thrones, the Mint Chicks, Laura Gibson, and many more. Yet another reason to head south (if you can handle the attitude) is Musicfest NW, scheduled for September 16-19. The lineup, announced today, includes Sunny Day Real Estate (as part of their month-long jaunt), Girl Talk, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Mudhoney, and more. Ticket information here. more ›
