Where: Doug Fir
How Much: $6
When: Wednesday, December 19th – 9pm
Why: Tiger House celebrates the release of their “Live From The Banana Stand 2011″ live (duh) album! Don’t be afraid to dance, clap, and sing along.

What’s Going On: 02/08 – 02/15

1. High Scores and Records Presents: Event 2

Where: Holocene
How Much: $5
When: Wednesday, February 8th—8:30pm
Why: The collaborative quarterly showcase is back and bursting with some of Portland’s finest. Featuring gems like Claudia Meza (Stay Clam), Shannon Steele (Typhoon), Richard Laws (Hosannas), Chris Cantino (Archers), Dorian Duvall (Onuinu), Booth Wilson (Support Force), and poetry by Gary Burns.

2. Wilco w/ White Denim

Where: Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
How Much: $53.50
When: Wednesday, February 8th—8pm
Why: If you love Wilco, this is the most amazing thing ever. If you don’t love Wilco, White Denim is playing. White Denim is a trailblazing quartet from Austin, TX who has no trouble getting into it with driving drum beats and catchy, psychadelic guitar hooks. The Schnitz provides a unique experience for both the fans and these bands, who are all accustomed to hanging out in a more dressed down environment.

3. The Pharmacy w/ The Shivas & Ghost Mom

Where: Ella St. Social Club
How Much: $5
When: Thursday, February 9th—9pm
