Portugal The Man
From Portland, Oregon
First Twin Cities show since since August 20, 2007 • Third Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since May 28, 2006
From last.fm:
Portugal. The Man is an experimental indie rock four-piece centered on frontman John Baldwin Gourley’s abstract musical approach and corresponding upbringing. He was raised in a sort of technological isolation: his log cabin home in the winter wasteland of the fringes of Wasilla, Alaska was powered by a generator and had no telephone. Both of his parents helped completely immerse him in the unique lifestyle that comes with a land of seasonal darkness and perpetual cold with their jobs as dog sled mushers. Read more about Portugal.
