Monday was an afternoon and evening in the Hawthorne District of Portland. It began with the friends that I was staying with providing a little tour guide action for their friends who had recently moved into Portland. Stops included a Goodwill store, video gaming place, a couple of vintage stores, and Powell's Books. Lunch was had at a Mexican eatery right next door to the Hawthorne Theater, were Boris was playing that evening. Once everyone went their separate ways, it was a couple of bars, including a soccer-themed bar way out on 18th and Hawthorne, before heading into the venue for the show. As for the show itself, the opening band Master Musicians of Bukkake (Why not just name yourselves Bukkake and be done with it?) did an Arabian themed set that was interesting for all of five minutes before I bailed to the lounge area of the venue. The band that followed was Tera Melos, who have an even worse name (yes, worse than Master Musicians of Bukkake). Their music was alright, but was way too indie rock in its nature. Boris was the last band to hit the stage, and clearly, they were the reason most in the crowd were there that evening. Good set, complete with gong.
