MASS TRANSIT: A Benefit for the Mobile Groove Bomb Bus

Can you really afford to ride alone anymore? Journey down to Portland's exotic Old Town/Chinatown for a rollicking good time and exceptionally potent live music! MASS TRANSIT nods to the economic reality of skyrocketing gasoline prices and renewed consciousness for sharing transportation resources. Come hang with a lively bunch of folks who are collaborating to build you a super-stylish vehicle for your evening commute: the Mobile Groove Bomb!

â€The Bombâ€ is currently evolving into a double-decker 250-person capacity mobile sound stage complete with massive fire cannons, dramatic stage lighting, high-octane sound and moreâ€”it is certainly guaranteed to prove itself a valuable performance resource for the Portland arts community.

Devil Bitches and the Lucky 13

Devil Bitches and the Lucky 13 Mercury retrograde chilling in Gemini has drastically increased your chances of having more madcap fun in one night than you can handle. You nut. Come buy a Gemini a drink. Get your crazydancepants on with one. Something delicious will begin brewing in your world as a result. We're magic like that. The evening begins with a sweet sonic voyage ala Mystic Spatula, the one man act of local writerpoetsingersongwriter John Whipple. He will create a live atmosphere with both hands, feet (bare), and mouth on Dobro, banjo, melodica, Kid Tunes keyboard, mixer, sampler, and loop station. Can you gimme an amen? A veritable hangover concerto for strings. Next up....HYDRIVE! This supertalented, not to mention superhawt group of men sounds like...the burningman, if you took away the blinky flashies, the oontz oontz music and the rave camps and found the one sweet live act rocking your face off out in the middle of a dust storm. Dancing WILL happen. And possibly, group sing- alongs because you just can't help yourself. Finally, Transglobal groove maniac DJ Global Ruckus will keep your groove moving and the soul singin' as he surprises the ear with new flavors. Oh, the questions. Will it be a gypsy theme? Polkas? WILL HE BE WEARING LEDERHOSEN? The only given is that you will still be dancing. Mixological madness provided by Carl, the Amazing Singing Bartender. *Management would like to note that given the natures of the Gemini women throwing this shindig, this may turn into a shirt optional event. We take no responsibility for any ensuing pandemonium or loss of personal property. Thank you. The Crown Room 205 NW 4th Avenue Friday June 13th 9pm-2am $3-$13 sliding scale 21 and over
