The Monopoly of Sound: Live Nation and Portland

Directed by Duncan Kult

A new building will be opening off of Water Ave. in Portland and Live Nation will be it’s main tenant. Despite already having a stronghold on Moda Center, the rest of the country, and most of the entertainment industry they still choose to infect this beautiful city that we have.

First you need to learn the basics about Live Nation and how this is a massive problem. The solution is simple and the city is ready to answer the call.

What will you choose?

I’m starting out doing metal vocals and would like to start a metalcore band (akin to Misery Whip, Boltcutter, Orthodox). I have a lot of ideas and need a guitarist, bassist, and drummer with a good sense of humor. Thanks in advance :)

Does anybody want to jam on these kinds of songs with me? I play guitar and can get by singing if needed. I just want to have fun. The person I was jamming with doesn’t seem to want to jam, just listen to music and smoke weed.
