July 4th is just around the bend. For some that means; fireworks, flags, b-b-qd dead animals and too-much-beer. For the rest of us it means having a great time at a great show with some great friends. This year the festivities will be held at the infamous and newly re-opened (well, kinda) Satyricon. Joining JX:ATG this year will be Panther (making a rare all-ages appearance), Show Me The Pink, and Thrones (making his 4th JX:ATG Anniversary appearance, year 4, 5, 6, and now 11). Good times are guaranteed. No jerks or bad attitudes allowed. Here's some funtime links to check out: JonnyX and the Groadies www.groadies.com

FRIDAY, MARCH 7 XIU XIU, THAO AND THE GET DOWN STAY DOWN —9pm, $8.00 at the door Xiu Xiu's music is painfully autobiographical, morose, and histrionic, and is deeply influenced by modern classical, improvisation, British pop and post-punk, techno beats, and, well, the gamelan orchestra. So what does this sound like? Well Xiu Xiu certainly has more than a little in common with their friends Deerhoof, attacking established pop idioms with a savant's genius, inverting them and reclaiming them in fascinating if sometimes disorienting ways. But note also the presence of Sabbath, Joy Division, and The Smiths in the above list. Even while Xiu Xiu turns the post-punk paradigm on its head, approaching it from a modern composition perspective that results in all kinds of weird cut-ups, juxtapositions, classical instrumentation, and unexpected arrangements, the comic but dead-serious nihilism of the seminal bands referenced by Stewart pervades Xiu Xiu's music. Alternating between screaming tantrums and wavery whispers in a voice that recalls classic goth vocalists like Robert Smith and Peter Murphy, Stewart offers jaw-droppingly personal disclosures that belie the music's more academic influences. This tension between cerebral abstraction and visceral emotion is at the heart of the music's intrigue.

January 22nd, at 6 pm, at the AboutUs.org office (SE 2nd and Washington) will be the first meeting for the Portland area. We hope that you will join us to meet new friends, share issues and ideas about technology in the nonprofit sector, and help mold the group.
