Portland Indie Rock Band Extravaganza!!!

LASKA
The songwriters in question are Hannah and Mookie Morton. The work in question takes a little more juice. Sometimes their music presents as harmonies and melodies placing themselves on ears and hearts like the careful legs of a balletic spider, in awe of its own symmetry and progress. Sometimes their work arrives as an overdue outpouring. Starting somewhere in the body – ecstatic as the seed of a pure and wordless truth – and then erupting as a cathartic yawp. Bonded by blood, forged in psychic battle, sisters Hannah and Mookie channel their lived experiences into music that glides through genres like a canoe on a quiet lake. Stage tested and bad to the bone. LASKA is the sound you hear when you’re inside of an indelible memory. They are currently based in Portland, Oregon.

UNSEEN OBJECT
Unseen Object is a rock band from Portland, OR. The project was founded in 2022 and is fronted by human multi-instrumentalists David Alvarado and Kai Nealis. Dylan Bodnarick and Malen Cuturic complete their poignant sound. They do it for love of the game and with a faith in “all good things come to those that stay true”. They are all music lifers who care more about stretching to make some musical meaning out of the air than about most other things. They are finishing their first album.

PALE VIOLET
Pale Violet is led by powerhouse social worker and songwriter Mahalia-Lind Diamond. Drummer Kai Nealis, guitarist/ synthesist Jordan Porto, and bassist Dylan Bodnarick round out the band, which took shape after much time spent discussing vulnerability and art. Pale Violet is rooted in the desire to explore and share in the intimacy that songwriting requires. Their lyrics reflect on love, tenderness, grief, depression and uncertainty. They channel music to process feelings that are complex, and often discomforting. Just like therapy.
