Just uploaded There Ain’t Nothing Going On Here: Ep. 11 - Portland Music Made Easy 1/20/13 to Mixcloud. Listen now!

This week’s playlist is largely representative of bands that support other bands in the scene. On any given night members of most of these groups can be found speckled throughout the audience showing their support for their PDX music comrades; it’s one of my favorite things about living in the Rose City.
