WILLAMETTE WEEK PICK - May 6, 2008
IPRC 10-Year Anniversary: Brandon Summers, Jeremy Wilson, Nann Allemann, Sam Coomes, Sarah Dougher, Jennifer Lynn, Leigh Marble, Carson McWhirter, Tara Jane O'Neil [ALL-STARS] The other half of tonight's Independant Publishing Resource Center benefit features a ridiculous list of Portland's finest old- and new-school performers. Let's run it on down: There's the Helio Sequence's Brandon Summers, ex-Dharma Bums frontman Jeremy Wilson, Nann Allemann of the Flat Mountain Girls, Sam Coomes from Quasi, the great Sarah Dougher (ex-The Crabs, Cadallaca), country lady Jennifer Lynn, the poptastic Leigh Marble, Carson McWhirter (of Sacto Nintendo-core outfit the Advantage) and experimental pop great Tara Jane O'Neil. If one or more of those names don't ring a bell, you're either a brand-new Portland transplant (nice to meet you), or you need a serious lesson in the last decade or two of Portland's recent rock history. And look, how convenient, tonight is the perfect primer. CASEY JARMAN. 8 pm. Someday Lounge, 125 NW 5th Ave., 248-1030. $10 for Someday Lounge and Backspace shows. 21+. Also see Backspace's Friday listing. Map
