Sunbathe and Strange Pilgrim, two indie rock projects exploring themes of displacement and longing, are joining forces for a stripped-down duo show. Maggie Morris, the driving force behind Sunbathe, is known for her raw, soaring vocals and dynamic songwriting, spanning dreamy pop to garage rock. Josh Barnhart, the multi-instrumentalist behind Strange Pilgrim, creates psychedelic-infused soundscapes and introspective lyrics that evoke both the natural world and the anxieties of modern life. Together, they promise a unique and intimate performance, blending their distinctive styles for a memorable evening.

Starover Blue Live at The Sou’wester Lodge

10/5/2024

Free & open to the public

Starover Blue

The nostalgic tones of a Juno-106 combine with ambient layers, sparkling guitars, and airy, bittersweet vocals to define Portland dream pop band Starover Blue

Founding members Kendall Sallay and Dirk Milotz began the group in 2007 while studying music at San Jose State University, then relocated to Portland in 2016 where they reformed as a six-piece. The band’s penchant for lush vocal harmonies, textural experimentation, and subtle use of odd meters appeals to fans of acts ranging from Cocteau Twins, Beach House, and Big Thief to The Joy Formidable, The Velvet Teen, and Wye Oak.
 
A new LP is underway for 2025 release, taking inspiration from heavier-hitting indie rock versus the synth pop textures of 2019 LP Ordinary Magic and 2016 debut Spacegeist. 

 

The Fourth Wall

The Fourth Wall are a melodic noise rock band from Portland, OR, originally from Oahu, HI.

What is the price we pay for joy, and is it worth it? The thread of this question runs taut through The Fourth Wall’s Return Forever, a fever dream of a record that unearths unresolved complexities of the immigrant experience in nine chapters. Throughout the album, songwriter Stephen Agustin circles a fire that feels so bright and yet so unknowable; there are not many answers to be found, only a disruption, the emergence of a world seen with new eyes.
