Portugal. The Man (Photo by Arlene Brown)

Do you like crazy light shows? Well, last week’s Portugal. the Man’s show at Showbox at the Market would have blown you away! These Alaskans rocked a completely packed all ages house and a very tight stage full of all their equipment. Portugal. the Man played a mix of music from their new cd Evil Friends produced by Danger Mouse combined with fan faves.

And if you get the chance, check out the opening band, Avi Buffalo. Once a solo one man performer, he now completely rocks the stage with 3 other very talented musicians. And the boy can play a mean guitar. They’re worth a listen.
