PDX Concert Beat: Black Lips TONIGHT
If you’re up in Portland tonight, the southern garage rock band The Black Lips are playing at the Wonder Ballroom on tour to support their new album, Arabia Mountain. As the Lips are well known for their rowdy performances (which I’ve personally experienced and can vouch for), I would highly suggest that you roll. To [...]
Senate Receives “Vagina-gram” From Unnamed Sender
Annually, the Woman’s Center runs a V-Day fundraiser that provides, with a sliding scale donation of five to ten bucks, the ability to send a “Vagina-gram” to your unsuspecting lover, friend, professor, or in tonight’s case, or student government official. “What is a Vagina-gram?” you may ask. A Vaginagram is a song and dance medley [...]

Nancy Drew and the Case of the Broken Voice Box
“Nancy! Come quick. There’s trouble on the University of Oregon campus!” Noah exclaimed. His brow was furrowed, he looked concerned. “Oh my goodness!” Nancy yelped. “I biked all the way back to the Campbell Club after leaving the Dance-Off just to tell you about it, since you’re such a super mystery-solver,” added Scot, Editor-in-Chief of [...]

Finn Riggins Shout Out the Voice
After their performance with Built to Spill and Disco Doom at the WOW Hall back in November, our friends Finn Riggins took the time to say hello to us from the depths of the women’s bathroom. Why? We don’t know… it just made sense at the time.

Prior to their free concert hosted by the University of Oregon Cultural Forum on October 30th, Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head took a few minutes out of their day to tell the Oregon Voice just how much they love us.

Video ‘sup from Monotonix
Just one of many moments that were captured on the OV road trip to Portland for MusicFest Northwest. The picture quality came out pretty wirey, but I did take liberties with showing off my hebrew skillz (we’ll see about that). Until next time, shalom! And a quick ‘hello’ from Ami Shalev of Monotonix.
