Floss - Live In Portland

09 28th, 2007


Someday Lounge
in PDX is hosting a new Sunday night jazz/experimental series. Great stage in a great venue for great music. Lots of huge couches up in the balcony, wonderful people, and good on them for opening a night up to "music from the other side of the fence."

 

Floss recently played a night there with The Blue Cranes. Here is a portion of the Floss set from 23 September 2007.
