Officially underway: Typhoon on stage!

After a flurry of last minute setup including an unexpected to trip to aquire a generator and a few other activities that left the trusty old PDX Pop debit card veritably smoking, music is officially being played at the 4th annual PDX Pop Now! Portland music festival!

Typhoon is on stage rocking and there are actually quite a lot of people here (see below). They seem to be somewhere between The Pogues, Bright Eyes, and Portland's own Builders and Butchers -- kind of pirate-y gentle emo with a lot of people on stage singing, playing acoustic instruments (like trumpet and violin), and boppin' up and down during the loud parts. Sounds like they're just finishing up. Stay tuned for more shortly.

The High Violets and Hooliganship are next. And we'll be here all weekend!

The weather is beautiful and the outside stage is waiting for you:
