FILM

X featuring MaXXXine Sneak Peek Past Event Like List
Indie horror ace Ti West (The Sacrament, The House of the Devil) returned in 2022 with a southern-fried A24 slasher. Following a gang of youth cruising through rural Texas in the '70s, X drew clear inspiration from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but still managed to craft a pretty fresh story centered around a psychopathic elderly villain. West made the best of it, quickly releasing the follow-up backstory Pearl and the to-be-released trilogy conclusion MaXXXine. Who's the common denominator? Mia Goth, our 21st-century version of Shelley Duvall. She'll star again in MaXXXine, and you can catch six minutes of footage from the upcoming film at this screening of X. LC

PERFORMANCE

Playback Theater PDX presents Healing Stages Past Event Like List
Unless you blissfully cruised through childhood without a single traumatic experience, you've probably at least glanced at No Bad Parts, pioneering therapist Richard C. Schwartz's book on Internal Family Systems. Playback Theater PDX's Healing Stages shows blend "drama therapy, Internal Family Systems, and other therapeutic approaches" to create a powerful evening of improvisational sharing and storytelling. You'll dig it if your body tends to keep the score. LC
(Siren Theater, Boise)

FILM

Church of Film: The Devil Queen Past Event Like List
Just in time for Pride Month, The Devil Queen paints a gruesome picture of an illicit underworld in Rio led by a violent and fabulous femme crime boss. The '74 masterwork of Brazilian marginal filmmaking—screened by Church of Film, natch—tests every cinematic boundary of the era (content warning for...everything) and kicks ass, too. LC
(Clinton Street Theater, Hosford-Abernethy)

I Heard It Through the Grapevine Past Event Like List
This fresh 4K restoration of I Heard It Through The Grapevine, which commemorates James Baldwin's would-be centennial birthday, conveys the writer and civil rights activist's brilliance with new clarity. The '82 documentary retraces Baldwin's Southern explorations from Selma to Birmingham in the '60s, and shares his experiences with Amiri Baraka and the Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe. The film's clear-eyed perspective showcases the civil rights movement's sacrifices with an artful, profound precision. LC
(Cinema 21, Nob Hill)

LIVE MUSIC

Vampire Weekend Past Event Like List
Portland Mercury arts and culture editor Suzette Smith writes: "I started listening to Vampire Weekend in design school for their consistent versatility: You can draw to it, talk over it, or you can take it and the rhymes by singer/guitarist Ezra Koenig pretty seriously. With the departure of the group’s synth player and all-around genius Rostam Batmanglij in 2016, fans stepped into the new record cautiously, and waited for their subsequent albums patiently." And, luckily, the five-year-long wait for Only God Was Above Us was well worth it. Drawing inspiration from 20th century New York City, Koenig and co. ponder the generation's existence in the shadows of the past; notably, long gone famed New Yorkers and defunct storefronts. Guitarist, vocalist, and founding member of Phish Mike Gordon will open. AV

PERFORMANCE

Reality Gays - The "If You Can Dream It" Tour Past Event Like List
Reality Gays is a reality TV podcast that connects many of my disparate interests: sex positivity, classic literature, queer history, '80s country music, and absolute garbage television. No, they don't cover the polished oeuvre of Bravo—but lower-budget filth like 90 Day Fiancé, Seeking Sister Wives, Love After Lockup, and the god-forsaken, questionably incestuous dating show MILF Manor. Hosts Matt Marr (nicknamed "Matty"), a clinically trained therapist, makeup artist, and actor, and Jake Anthony (nicknamed "Poodle"), a music teacher, composer, and life coach, flex their talents in psychology, music, comedy, and cosmetology to dissect trashy television into content that is both hilarious and heartfelt. Just in time for Pride Month, Matty and Poodle will bring the If You Can Dream It tour to Portland for a live taping of the podcast that is sure to include plenty of improv, risqué costumes, and tragic stories about their Southern upbringings. AV

COMEDY

Secret Aardvark Remind Like List
Over 30 of Portland's best improvisers will gather again for this who's who of Rose City comedy. Each Secret Aardvark event features an extra-special mystery guest (past guests have run the gamut from David Lynch to random high school theater students), and the show's so spicy that it's named after the organizers' fave local hot sauce. LC
(Kickstand Comedy, Ladd's Addition)

JUNETEENTH

A Walk in My Shoes: A Program in Celebration of Juneteenth Past Event Like List
Word Is Bond, a Black-led "nonprofit leadership incubator for young Black men," has partnered with Sneaker Week and the Portland Art Museum to present this storytelling evening featuring youth ambassadors and Portland designers. Using the shoe as a "medium to amplify the creative voices and visions of Black men and their communities," the event retells stories from tours of the Woodlawn and New Columbia neighborhoods. Head to the museum to see Black boy joy in full effect and learn something new about the communities surrounding you. LC

COMMUNITY

Cinema Unbound Awards Past Event Like List
Transformative storytellers will be recognized and celebrated at this year's Cinema Unbound Awards, presented annually by the Portland Art Museum and PAM CUT. The innovative honorees include lauded Black portrait artist Mickalene Thomas, Reservation Dogs co-creator and showrunner Sterlin Harjo, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Irene Taylor, and James Beard Award-nominated chef-entrepreneurs Peter Cho and Sun Young Park, who will "construct a full culinary takeover of the night from their award-winning restaurant Han Oak." Former Portlander and current funny man Ron Funches will play host. LC
(Portland Art Museum, South Park Blocks)

LIVE MUSIC

Chicano Batman Past Event Like List
Former Portland Mercury contributor Guadalupe Triana writes: "If there were an award for music that’s “the best reminder to give your Mexican dad a phone call,” or one that makes you “most nostalgic for a time you never knew,” Chicano Batman would definitely win both. The Los Angeles-based quartet smoothly integrates two wistful genres: the romantic ’60s psychedelia so many brown kids grew up listening to on Saturday mornings, and the inescapably sun-soaked sound of Southern Californian indie. And nobody rocks the soulfulness of the organ like Chicano Batman. With appearances at big festivals like SXSW and Coachella under their belt, the band has amassed a fanbase that extends far beyond its Latino cult-following." The psych-soul trio will swing through town to support their latest album, Notebook Fantasy, after an opening set from Latin synth-pop gem Lido Pimienta. AV
(Roseland Theater, Old Town-Chinatown)

PRIDE

Pride at the Museum Past Event Like List
Who doesn't love bright colors and flashing lights? As part of Pride at the Museum, you can play with 20,000 LEDs to freeze your shadow, paint with light, and bounce laser beams. Speaking of lasers—the planetarium will have light shows synced to the music of Lady Gaga, Queen, and Beyoncé. Science-oriented queers can check out demonstrations on flying robots, big data, renewable energy, and explore the museum's featured exhibit, Tyrannosaurs - Meet the Family. Local queen Poison Waters will host drag queen story time in the kid-oriented Science Playground and emcee a drag show later in the evening. Cap things off with a little shopping: Always Here Book Store will be on hand with queer books for all ages, and Gay Crochet Co has some of the cutest handmade products I've ever seen (pride flag octopuses?!?). SL

COMMUNITY

Foster Summer Soiree Past Event Like List
In past years, the Foster Summer Soiree included sidewalk vendors and promotions at local vendors, but this year, they're taking over the entire street! Southeast 63rd Avenue will be closed south of Foster and feature a block party in collaboration with St. Francis Ice Cream, Kitchen Culture, and Royalty Spirits. Per usual, Laurelwood Park will host a vendor marketplace and a main stage with live performances from noon to 5 pm including electro-hip-hop group St. Johns Yacht Club and clowns-on-bicycles duo Olive & Dingo. If you're looking to purchase some unique, locally-made goods, you're in luck: Meet Your Maker Market, Queer Art Market, and Spectrum Art Market will all be popping up in the area, in addition to tons of deals and activations at neighborhood businesses.

FOOD & DRINK

2024 Farm to Plate Series Remind Like List
It doesn't get much fresher than eating a meal in the very place where the ingredients were grown. Topaz Farm's resident "farm-to-plate" chefs and culinary power couple Christian and Janelle Ephrem will craft a series of five-course meals sourced from Topaz itself, with menus designed mere days in advance and produce harvested just hours before the dinner. You'll get to take a seat at a long communal table and dine beneath a 500-year-old oak tree. JB
(Topaz Farm, Sauvie Island)

LIVE MUSIC

Our Corner of the Sky: Pride on Broadway Past Event Like List
Are you ready to get gay?! The Portland Gay Men's Chorus can help—as one of the longest-running gay men's choruses in the country, they'll be feeling extra-festive for Pride season. Our Corner of the Sky: Pride on Broadway worships at the shrine of musical theater—you'll hear numbers from Carousel, Anything Goes, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, Newsies, Into the Woods, Six, Pippin, and many other productions. The show's eclectic program "celebrates and affirms our right to lives of authenticity and joy," so you'll leave feeling all warm and fuzzy, too. LC
(Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, South Park Blocks)

Siren Nation Presents: The 18th Annual Dolly Hoot Night Past Event Like List
This weekend, pour yourself a cup of ambition at this 18th annual cover night honoring treasured "backwoods Barbie" Dolly Parton. Her iconic tunes will be interpreted by a slew of local music makers, including dream pop band Ezza Rose, singer-songwriter Alexa Wiley, pop vocalist Tara Velarde, and many more. AV
(Alberta Rose Theatre, Concordia)

COMEDY

Ronny Chieng: The Love To Hate It Tour Past Event Like List
Daily Show with Trevor Noah contributor and Crazy Rich Asians actor Ronny Chieng released a cynically sweet Netflix special, Ronny Chieng: Speakeasy, back in 2022, but his name might also ring a bell if you binged John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA last month. (He was on the "paranormal" episode with the bewigged hypnotist.) Chieng will drop by the Pacific Northwest on a new tour, perhaps to explain why we should outsource ass-kickings to the government. LC

FOOD & DRINK

No Bones Beach Club x XO Bar Past Event Like List
Plant-based food lovers across Seattle collectively mourned when the tropical bar No Bones Beach Club closed its doors in 2020. Former Stranger staff writer Angela Garbes wrote of the establishment in 2016, "At No Bones, you won't find any soy-rizo, mock chicken, or portobello mushrooms doing their best impersonation of hamburger patties. Instead, you'll find tacos loaded with beer-battered and fried avocados, sandwiches stuffed with sesame-seed-crusted taro cakes, and poke (Seattle's current favorite dish) made not with raw fish but smoked golden beets. MacKenzie DeVito describes her menu as 'Southern California–style food—fresh, with lots of vegetables, herbs, and great textures.' After just a few bites, you'll be grateful that DeVito, who adopted a vegan diet seven years ago, has spent all her time since developing such flavorful, satisfying, and surprising food." Luckily, you'll have a rare chance to catch Devito's cuisine, including carrot lox mini bagels, "brunchos," fried artichoke Benedict, and tropical French toast, at her first two pop-ups in Portland since the closure. XO Bar and Norah will offer refreshing alcoholic and zero-proof cocktails to pair with the food, while Daylily Coffee Shop will provide coffee and tea. A portion of brunch sales will benefit Meow Village. JB

LIVE MUSIC

Bktherula Past Event Like List
Atlanta-born rapper Bktherula recorded her first song at the age of 9, and by 13, she’d begun uploading original songs onto her SoundCloud account. Now 21, she’s earned a devoted fanbase and a major label record deal and has worked with hip-hop heavy hitters like Rico Nasty and Matt Ox. Catch her just after the release of her fifth mixtape, LVL5 P2, alongside fellow rising rapper Skaiwater. AV
(Hawthorne Theatre, Hawthorne District)

Trap Kitchen Weekend Featuring Stunna Girl and Special Guests Past Event Like List
Last year, the celeb-approved soul food cart Trap Kitchen opened a restaurant inside the Roseland Theater’s ground floor Peter’s Room space, serving up mouth-watering delicacies like teriyaki pineapple bowls, mac and cheese, fried shrimp, and fried chicken. This weekend, the restaurant/venue will hold its second annual Trap Kitchen Weekend featuring an evening (despite its name, the event only takes place on Sunday) of music from rising rappers Stunna Girl, Capolow, AZJAH, and SieteGang Yabbie. AV

COMEDY

Gianmarco Soresi: The Leaning In Tour Past Event Like List
Sly Jewish-Italian stand-up and former singing waiter Gianmarco Soresi will drop by Portland to bounce around on stage, chat about horse detectives, and recall the good old days of grinding at bar mitzvahs on his Leaning In tour. LC
(Helium Comedy Club, Hosford-Abernethy, Thursday-Saturday)

EXHIBIT

Fathom Remind Like List
For better or worse, Meow Wolf-esque experiences have proliferated across the country in recent years, and after the success of Hopscotch, Portland has earned one more immersive pop-up. Fathom is staged as a temporary undersea adventure, but creators Roboto Octopodo have a "much larger vision" for the experience's future. Head downtown for selfie opportunities with glowy coral reefs, giant whales, and "the dazzling insides of a sparkly angler fish." LC
(Central Plaza, Downtown, Friday-Sunday)

Tree People: Puiden Kansa Remind Like List
Works by Finnish artists Ritva Kovalainen and Sanni Seppo will come together for this photography exhibition, which draws from forest-based mythology to reflect on ancient customs and beliefs in rural Finland, Estonia, and East Karelia. To capture the images in Tree People, Kovalainen and Seppo researched and traveled for a decade; the results feel both sacred and familiar. After all, most of us have felt a close connection to a tree at some point in our lives. Head to the exhibition to learn more about the forest spirits and stories, then explore the World Forestry Center and Discovery Museum's wood-filled space. LC
(World Forestry Center & Discovery Museum, Washington Park, Wednesday–Sunday)

FESTIVALS

Tigard Festival of Balloons 2024 Past Event Like List
Early birds will get access to a pre-dawn balloon launch out in Tigard, but if you'd rather sleep in, dreamy floating baskets will be elevated several times over this three-day hot air balloon festival. On the ground and under their bobbing shadows, you'll find booths selling handmade wares, local food vendors, and carnival rides and games. As the sun sets on Friday and Saturday, keep your eyes peeled for the "Night Glow," when balloons are ignited and inflated while tethered to the ground for up-close mesmerization. Other entertainment includes a rock-filled main stage, Rogue Ales beer garden, a kid's zone with a Trader Joe's snack booth, and a Sunday car show with everything from roadsters to pickups. SL
(Cook Park, Tigard, Friday-Sunday)

FILM

2001: A Space Odyssey in 70mm Past Event Like List
A strange black monolith transcends time, witnessed by early man and 21st-century scientists alike. Sent on a shrouded mission to uncover the structure's origins, a team of astronauts encounters bizarre issues with a supercomputer. This screening of the Hollywood's own 70mm print ofStanley Kubrick's '68 poetic sci-fi epic may trigger an existential tailspin, but try not to sweat the galactic stuff. LC
(Hollywood Theatre, Hollywood District, Friday-Saturday)

Babes Past Event Like List
Quick, sardonic script-flipper Michelle Buteau holds her own amid the current pack of aging dude comics bickering over whether human rights are funny, and Ilana Glazer is rapidly becoming a legendary millennial freak. (Yes, the batshit angel from Broad City still exists, she's still hilarious, and she's spoken up about the genocide in Gaza. Try to keep up!) It's only natural that the two should join forces in Babes, the one-night-stand comedy and directorial debut from Pamela Adlon, aka the voice of Bobby on King of the Hill. Women rock. LC
(Cinema 21, Nob Hill, Monday-Wednesday)

Evil Does Not Exist Past Event Like List
Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s follow-up to the Murakami-inspired Oscar winner Drive My Car follows a father and daughter who spend their days gathering wild foods for a local udon restaurant. Their livelihood might be threatened when a city agency plans to create a bougie "glamping" site not far from their rustic hamlet. (Fuck glampers, am I right?) Evil Does Not Exist won the 2023 Venice Silver Lion; I'm intrigued by the film's quiet, snowy cinematography and its naturalistic approach. LC
(Cinema 21, Nob Hill, Monday-Thursday)

I Used to Be Funny Past Event Like List
I never anticipated needing to explain that Rachel Sennott is "currently funny," but this flick's title leaves me eager to confirm that she's hilarious. (Although, if you've seen Shiva Baby or Bottoms, you're already well aware.) In Ally Pankiw's I Used to Be Funny, a stand-up struggling with PTSD seeks out a missing teen who she used to nanny. Sennott always understands the assignment, so I'm anticipating something vulnerable and comical and a little weird. LC
(Cinema 21, Nob Hill, Monday-Thursday)

Pride 2024 Film Series Past Event Like List
Portland officially celebrates Pride in July, but a little pregaming never hurt anyone. Go on ahead and celebrate gay stuff (and gender/sexuality in all its gloriously fluid forms) with this month-long screening series; it's also a pointed "fuck you" to the flagrantly fascistic who would try to censor our media choices. Clinton Street Theater's month of Pride films includes some of my favorites, like Grey Gardens,But I'm a Cheerleader (delightfully deemed "vulgar" by Movie Guide: Movie Reviews for Christians), Paul Verhoeven’s young-and-hungry eleganza Showgirls, and gaggy wasteland The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Church of Film will also chime in with a buried masterpiece—Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers, a Warhol-era raunch-fest that somehow features Bette Midler on the soundtrack. And Desert Hearts will screen on June 18, a film that elicited a concise review from EverOut food and drink editor Julianne Bell: "I am very gay." LC
(Clinton Street Theater, Hosford-Abernethy, Tuesday-Friday)

FOOD & DRINK

Portland Beer Week Past Event Like List
The annual celebration of all things beery and beautiful in the Pacific Northwest returns in grand style, stretching the definition of "week" to encompass 10 whole days, and sprawling all over the city like a freshly shaken can of lager popped with no regard, featuring a wide range of events at notable breweries and venues. This year's lineup includes a pizza party, a "Make Your Own IPA Ice Cream" event, pop-ups, tap takeovers, special releases, workshops, a wrestling-themed "Snackdown" competition, and more. JB
(Various locations, Monday-Sunday)

LIVE MUSIC

Adrianne Lenker Past Event Like List
Hailed by illustrious publications such as Pitchfork and NPR, Big Thief frontwoman Adrianne Lenker employs homey guitars, acoustic pianos, and grounded-yet-whimsical storytelling on her latest output, Bright Future. The album was recorded straight to tape with a small group of musicians for a result that is raw, warm, and delightfully imperfect. Anticipate a similarly intimate sound as Lenker swings through Portland for a couple of rare solo shows with support from indie folk project Twain. AV
(Revolution Hall, Buckman, Thursday-Friday)

Iron & Wine Past Event Like List
Indie-folk top dog Iron & Wine (aka Sam Beam) has dedicated most of the past nine years to collaborative projects—releasing albums with Calexico, Jesca Hoop, and Ben Bridwell. Now, Beam is back with a new solo album, Light Verse, which returns to form with the finger-picked tear-jerkers he's known for. Southern Gothic folk artist Amythyst Kiah will open. AV
(Crystal Ballroom, West End, Friday-Saturday)

PERFORMANCE

Clyde's Remind Like List
As a Pulitzer Prize winner and 2007 MacArthur genius, Nottage often centers working-class people in her storytelling—her 2015 play Sweat centered small-town Pennsylvania factory workers facing job insecurity, racism, and class disparities. This time around, she had me at "play about a sandwich." Nottage's Clyde's follows a team of formerly incarcerated kitchen staff who navigate life after lock-up while on a "quest to create the perfect sandwich," so I hope you brought napkins. Check out this interpretation of the play for a funky cross between The Bear and Abbott Elementary. LC
(Portland Center Stage, Pearl District, Wednesday–Sunday)

Girl From The North Country Past Event Like List
When I was a teenager, a boy once "broke up" with me by copy-pasting the lyrics to Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" into his AIM away message, thus cementing my permanent and near-lifelong disdain for the grumpy troubadour. But maybe you love Bob Dylan. Good for you!! This Tony Award-winning musical reimagines 20 of Dylan's hits and is set against the backdrop of a guesthouse in '30s-era Duluth. Girl From The North Country includes renditions of “Forever Young,” “All Along The Watchtower,” “Hurricane,” “Slow Train Coming,” and “Like A Rolling Stone." I'm not sure if "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" is featured, but if it is, do me a favor—don't tell me about it. LC
(Keller Auditorium, Downtown, Tuesday-Sunday)

She's Like The Wind: A Musical Parody Remind Like List
From the folks who brought you the sold-out trash classic Road House: The Play, She's Like the Wind stars Portland's funniest (including the Merc's own Wm. Steven Humphrey) as they fall in love at a '60s resort in the Catskills. They'll practice their dancing—both dirty and clean—with help from a live band. Funny fave Shelley McLendon adapted the musical parody for the stage, so you know there won't be any babies in any corners. LC
(Siren Theater, Boise, Thursday-Saturday)

VISUAL ART

Alyson Provax: To know what we say we know Remind Like List
Prolific letterpress artist Alyson Provax is always up to something artistic, so her latest solo exhibition comes as no surprise. To know what we say we know presents new letterpress works by Provax, referencing spoken language and diaries to reflect on "the limitations of language to express our individual perceptions and the way that this affects connection between us." Provax adopts a repetitive "drawing" style to help the viewer notice their own experience of reading, but don't expect a novel: Her work more closely resembles concrete poetry. LC
(Well Well, Kenton, Saturday-Sunday)

Emily Wise: Hair of The Banshee Remind Like List
When I last saw Emily Wise's work in her 2023 Chefas Projects solo exhibition Hands that Hold the Melting Rope, the artist's surreal, neon-hued acrylic compositions were populated with dream-world cool girls, flowing flora, and mystical patterns. The motto of Wise's work seems to be "the longer you look, the more you find," like a lucid dream in painting form. This time around, she depicts the Irish banshees of her grandmother's fairy tales, and wonders whether the matriarch was "merely the keeper of these Irish legends, or indeed the very banshee she spoke of." LC
(Chefas Projects, Central Eastside, Wednesday–Saturday)

Ivan McClellan: Eight Seconds Remind Like List
When photographer Ivan McClellan attended the country's longest-running Black rodeo back in 2015, he described it as "like going to Oz — there was all this color and energy." The experience led McClellan on a trek across the US to discover all things Black rodeo culture, from Texan stables to LA ranches. In his Eight Seconds long-form photography project, McClellan documents "the lives of Black men and women who live a Western lifestyle across the United States." LC
(Blue Sky Gallery, Pearl District, Wednesday–Saturday)

Justin L’Amie: Living in the City Remind Like List
I'll be honest: At first, I wasn't certain what Justin L'Amie's watercolor and gouache compositions had to do with city life. They're fun to observe, though. Stems of star-shaped flowers squiggle and form faces, while grasshoppers, spiders, and colorful moths land on the paper for a moment of rest. "Living in the city, a churning, hectic place...Pigeons sharing chicken bones. Laughter from the stairwell. Sobbing from under a tarp. The indifference of a machine. Find a support system. Rent raised again," the show's promotional materials read. Living in the City seems to nod toward the other-than-human life occupying urban spaces, hinting at the need for moments of respite, sanctuary spaces, and quiet noticing. LC
(PDX CONTEMPORARY ART, Slabtown, Tuesday–Saturday)

Noah’s Out-of-Order Ark-ade and Reliquary: Maria Lux Remind Like List
Research-driven artist Maria Lux, an associate art professor at Whitman College, creates "installation-based works" that center species loss, conservation, and "the ways animals are used to generate human knowledge and understanding." Interesting, no? In Noah’s Out-of-Order Ark-ade and Reliquary, Lux constructs an arcade-turned-shrine, where lost and revived animals are revered. It's sort of a roadside curiosity, and sort of a holy site—expect Catholic visual excess with tinges of the darkly humorous and absurd. LC
(Carnation Contemporary, Kenton, Saturday-Sunday)

William Matheson: The Glow Remind Like List
William Matheson may be Portland-based, but his paintings have been shown all over the world, from Mongolia to the Czech Republic. His sixth solo exhibition at Nationale might also be his most metaphysical—the artist thinks carefully about the concept of "the glow," from its connection to wildfires and ecological peril to something more elusive. Painted on jute, Matheson's compositions are innately textural, sinewy, and hazy, streaked with summery hues and hints of smoke and fumes. LC
(Nationale, Buckman, Monday/Thursday-Sunday)
