1. Foals w/ Surfer Blood & Blondfire
Where: Crystal Ballroom
How Much: $20
When: Wednesday, May 29th – 8pm
Why: Sure it’s all gloom and doom out there (it is, afterall, still technically spring…), but it will be hot and sweaty in the Crystal Ballroom tonight with the Oxford five-piece. Foals are currently crossing the States in support of their third studio album, Holy Fire. Check out the video for “Inhaler”–you might just need one after.

How Much: $5
When: Saturday, June 1st – 8pm
Why: Holy moly, is it that time of year again already?! Well, no complaints here–that just means a rock’n'rollin’ good time is heading our way. Get off your butts and come help raise funds for the 4th Annual SMMR BMMR with Portland favs Mean Jeans, The Trashies, Therapists, and White Fang!

3. !!! w/ White Arrows
Where: Bunk Bar
How Much: $15
When: Monday, June 3rd – 9pm
Why: Bunk Bar’s got your Monday night dance party right here! This show will most definitely sell out, so you best grab your tickets now. This promises to be an intimately awesome evening with dance-funk tunes from !!!‘s fifth studio release, THR!!!ER, and LA’s psych-trop pop group, White Arrows.

1. Smith Westerns w/ Yeasayer
- Where:  Wonder Ballroom
- How Much:  $20 (adv)/$23 (All Ages)
- When:  Friday, May 27th – 9pm
- Why: This Chicago based quartet channels their inner T. Rex with quiet dreamy vocals over Beatles-style progressions and fuzzy guitar lines. Now on Fat Possum, their sophomore effort, Dye It Blonde, showcases a more polished sound, but still true to form. Come witness the teenage dream unfold before your eyes.
