Paradoxically known for their secret recordings, Banana Stand is excited to highlight incredible performers to a more public audience. Discerning music collectors can show off their deep catalog by bringing in their own vinyl to be played along side others before each night’s act. (Don’t worry, records will stored safely so everyone can enjoy the show.) Casual, yet limited, the summer series will be the perfect way to spend Monday sunsets next to fellow fans.
Though the series’ guests won’t be revealed, June 2nd’s opening event will be an advance album release from a promising new band who recently relocated to Portland. Further acts in the series will include local favorites and touring groups, plus other surprises.
About Double Dragon
Started by Rob Walls (Momofuku, Beast, et. al), Double Dragon’s bar was named to Portland’s Top 25 by Portland Monthly and has been praised by PDX Eater for its “playful but even-handed cocktails.” Portland Mercury food critic Chris Onstad wrote, “Double Dragon’s product is that rarest of things: a second impression that exceeded the long-ago love at first sight.” Serving craft beer, classic cocktails and signature drinks alongside some of Portland’s best sandwiches, Double Dragon is also home to the much-loved Baby Ketten Karaoke on Saturday nights.
