If you've had any question to the prolific nature of Portugal. The Man's ability to put out records in rapid succession, STOP. Yeah, the band just released a new full-length a meager four months ago, their fifth release in the last four years. Do they give a shit? Apparently not, as the [...]

And it all begins here in Vancouver. . . Social networks are an interesting way to meet people. In fact, I don't really recommend them unless you're better in digitrons than you are in person. And music-oriented social networks are even worse than the Facebooks and Bebos of the world because sites like iMeem and Last.FM are full of folks who either want to hock their DJ set or get you to read t...

Everyone downloads. Its how most people find music now adays and is in many ways contributing to the rise of the independent aritst. But if you think that downloading an artists album doesn't hurt them, you're simply wrong. The capital inflow of a label/band is essential and album sales is a major contributor to getting bands on tours, promotions, marketing, merchandise and generally keeping th...

Getting flooded by emails on why John McCain's pick for VP Alaskan governor Sarah Palin is a bad one? (I sure have.) Below are several reasons why from Alaskan blue-blood and Portugal. The Man. guitarist/vocalist John Gouley. Gouley relays an important lesson he learned living up in Wasilla, AK the same town Palin was mayor of for years. The lesson, which can be read here, was taken from an ear...

Though it was a cold, snowy night outside, Boston’s Paradise Rock Club warmly invited a diverse crowd to take in Drug Rug and Portugal. The Man. Indeed, observing the flannel-draped hipsters, tight-shirted fraternity boys, and the odd dreadlocked head, I realized the wide appeal of psychedelic, noise-heavy indie rock.Drug Rug took the stage first. Two songwriting, harmonizing Boston-area native.

Coming off the heels of a ferocious hardcore punk showcase at the Wonder Ballroom, I now found myself in the section of my night where I had to put my feet beyond the crossroads and make a choice about which bands came next. Throughout Fucked Up, I was getting nudged towards the Roseland and Portugal. The Man, so I caved and headed down to my old stomping grounds to find a band by the name of P...

From their unwieldy name (complete with obnoxious punctuation) to their less than conventional songwriting methods (music and lyrics are often written on the spot when recording), Portugal. The Man seem quite intent on doing things their own way. Fortunately, despite - or perhaps because of – the band’s numerous quirks, the psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll they create somehow coalesces into

Alaskan-bred, Portland-based Portugal. The Man are back with their fourth full-length album and it serves as further proof that this band is not just hard-working but far more worthy of attention.This is actually a dual release as the Satanic Satanist is mirrored by an accompanying album titled the Majestic Majesty featuring all but one of [...]

Portugal. The Man is poised to release their fourth studio album. The Wasilla, Alaska natives will be dropping The Satanic Satanist on July 21st. The album isn't just noteworthy for possessing possibly the best title of the year so far. From start to finish the record is a free flowing joyful ride. Be it the twangy groove rock of the opener "People Say" or the uplifting and hope redemption of

These guys have really grown on me. Very nice mishmash of syles and influences that keep me coming back for more. Globe Review:And you thought Sarah Palin's absurdist non sequiturs were the trippiest thing to ever come out of Wasilla. On "The Satanic Satanists,'' the prolific Alaskan-bred outfit Portugal. The Man channels Motown and funk excursions, folk anthems, and "Abbey Road''-style rock a...

I got this CD in the mail today, and I'm rather enjoying it. In the same family with The White Stripes and The Black Keys but not an identical twin to either of 'em. The second track of the album, "Sugar Cinnamon", is the one that's stayed in my head. I couldn't resist the keys, the drum lines, or the layered vocals. Granted, I've only listened to the album twice through so my opinion is sure ...

I admit I found this band while reading the internets about Sarah Palin. And here on Mog itself on Charley Rogulewski's mog pageSo check out the tunes from some folks who call Palin-land home....they have also posted their views on Governor Palin, which are interesting. Various songs are available for download on their site,, I'm kinda diggin Out and In and In and Out. Enjoy the tunes and th...
