Austin Sound Check

Alaska isn’t the first place you’d look for a good soulful indie rock band. Alaska is also a pretty good drive away from Austin. Wasilla’s own Portugal The Man trekked to SXSW this year with their fuzzed out guitars and gigged till they dropped. Portugal The Man was impressively on the schedule at least 3-4 times by my count, playing an official SXSW showcase as well as several day parties.

If you weren’t lucky enough to catch Portugal The Man back in March, they are returning to Austin on Friday, 7/18 as part of their summer tour. RX Bandits and Facing New York are also on the bill at Emo’s. Their complete summer tour is listed below, as well as Portugal The Man’s new video for And I.
