The Bits- What could you possibly say about these guys? Self taught musicians at play in the fields of Portland's ebbing cultural upgrade. A phenomenon perhaps, a mishap, an inevitability. With sounds varying but summed up nicely as "Dirty Pop". Hooks and snares of melodic phrases and a driving tempo. Boys in mens bodies attempting a late blooming start to a childhood dream.
Fronted by Guitarist/ Vocalist Jesse Decker and backed by Keyboardist Nigel B, Bassist Cory Richter and Drummer Rian White. Familiar with Garage Rock? How about Basement Rock? Cause that's what's up.
Seemingly outwitted by even themselves, The bits take a little off the dusty shelves from each of their individual record collections and add it to the musichordial soup they pour into the bowl of what may be their next song. In a town where there's a band house on every corner. Where music and art are as plenty as the pocked sores on a meth heads face. How can you get the people to hear you? How can you even give the people what they want? What the fuck do these people want? We shall soon find out.
Hey there! I just wanted to tell you about an upcoming Rizomatic show that you might enjoy:
Wolfgang's Rizomatic Experiments Unmatched Music for the Moment LIVE in Portland at Vino Vixens (2929 SE Powell, PDX) Thurs. June 18, 2009 8:30pm
Drink great wine while enjoying the jawdropping electric psychedelic energetic and reality-shifting improvisational guitar mastery of Wolfgang Rehmert.
No Cover!
(pssst... the show will be even MORE fun if you tell all of your friends!)
we're asking for $5 or whatever you want to donate.
only at Dante's this April 7th, 2009!
let's party and raise some money for one of Portland's old homegirls who's living in Istanbul, Turkey and who has recently undergone some serious medical crap and needs help! you can donate directly here: http://cyclecide.com/ratgirl/
she was experiencing pain and bleeding and was diagnosed with 2 tumors and a cyst and then her appendix got a perforation on it and she had to have emergency surgery for that on top of everything else. when the doctors cut her open they discovered that her entire reproductive system was infected, they literally found her to be full of PUS and had she waited one more day she probably would not have made it. fortunately, much thanks to her tough constitution and tenacious grip on life and the Turkish medical system, she's well on the mend. but she's still facing many overwhelming financial burdens and definitely needs our help!
please forward this to any mutual friends and hope to see ya there!
Hey Bits- we caught the show last night and i just wanted to post this comment so all will know that you gents are awesome. Next time... we're gonna tear up the dance floor fer y'all. : )
Thanks for playing with us last night guys. It was easily the highest energy show I've had the chance to be a part of. You guys really have a great sound. Best of luck, and I hope you share the stage with you again. ~Neil ~Secrets
