Thursday, October 8 at Majestic Theater
w/ Hockey & Drug Rug
Portugal. The Man was another band I saw some of at Bonnaroo this past year. There was big hype about them around and I saw they were playing both in Madison and Milwaukee earlier this year, but since I paid my $250 for Bonnaroo, I planned to see them there. Unfortunately, this year wasn't the best Bonnaroo experience I have ever had (given that it was only my second time there, that pretty much means it wasn't as awesome as last year) I didn't see much of their show.
I classify their music as sounding indie rock which by my definition is beautiful and strong vocals, folk/rock sounding music and a touch of the electronic. John Baldwin Gourley, the lead singer, has an amazing voice that is harmonized by other members of the band to create some really beautiful songs.
They have released albums every year since 2006. I have their latest three albums and here are some songs I recommend checking out from them. Maybe it's just me, but I find that I usually love the first album I hear of a band more then other albums so I have to say that Censored Colors is a great place to start. I'll probably be buying their older albums at their show October 8th.
