Portugal. the Man’s set was short and John Baldwin Gourley’s vocals were almost totally buried in the poor sound balance, but it was worth the commute and awkward hour-and-a-half in a strange pub for the opening jam (featuring crowd favourite AKA M80 The Wolf) and shimmering snippets from their new album, ‘In The Mountain, In The Cloud’.

My only problem was with the sound desk, as half of the set seemed to consist of roaring rhythmic fuzz, but aside from that the band performed perfectly. Also it was free. And they tour perpetually so go see them! They’re returning to the UK next month too.
*I say they’re known for this, they aren’t particularly well known for anything. Which is surprising, seeing as they have had voluminous output over just a few years.
