MoB HQ has switched to the Pacific Northwest for the next couple of days. We are now taking tips on the best places to see and eat in Portland and Seattle. Tonight, The Cave Singers play the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland and if we don’t catch them there tonight, there’s a strong possibility we’ll catch up with them the following night in Seattle at the Crocodile Cafe with Black Mountain.
We highly recommend The Cave Singers’ Matador Records release, Invitation Songs. The band just released the first video, a dance-y, foot stomping, black-and-white number that is sure to make you a believer (perhaps in more ways than one).

We hit up Montage last night for dinner:

Highly recommended, love the tin-foil animals that the leftovers come in. Just don’t ask for a specific shape/animal/flower or they’ll bring back a huge tin-foil penis!
Good times. Seattle tonight!
