Party Boyz Presentz: Ladiez Night
Hey Ladieeeez!
Along with
She Shreds Magazine and
Kill Rock Stars, Portland's
Party Boyz have curated an event at Mississippi Studios to celebrate the guitar hoarding, keyboard slinging, howling vocals of Portland's fairer gender. Wait, fairer? Whatever, The Party Boyz turn gender on it's head. The pod-casting duo are actually two best girl-friends, Rachel Milbauer and Elizabeth Elder, who share laughs with all the local bands for an audience to hear.
They are also putting together shows with a cause; part of ticket sales from
Ladiez Night will assist musical non-profit
Rock'n'Roll Camp For Girls. Speaking of Rock'n'Roll, this show is a fresh debut for
Sallie Ford, who moved on from the boys at The Sound Outside to start a new all-girl band solely under her moniker. The local ladies that have joined her include members of Siren & The Sea, Viva Voce, and Point Juncture, WA. There will new songs to look forward to, and knowing Sallie, it's bound to get a little rowdy.
The line-up includes dream-pop outfit
Swansea, the intriguing Luz Elena Mendoza (
Y La Bamba,Tiburones), and a founding female of indie-rock,
Rebecca Gates. It's a celebration of the bad-ass, empowered women making music in PDX. Gurlz, boyz, ladiez and dudez - come one, come all. - Brandy Crowe
