Pool Boys // The Fur Coats

  • Rontoms 600 East Burnside Street Portland, OR, 97214 United States (map)

POOL BOYS

A reductionist view of Pool Boys’ music could claim four words: Loud guitars; pretty harmonies. The band thrives in dualities - they live in the space where soft and sensitive gives way to grit and ire. Melodic guitar hooks and oft-spacey, oft-grungy textures are thoroughly supported by weaving bass lines and nonstandard harmonies.

THE FUR COATS

The Fur Coats are a psychedelic pop/soul sextet based in Portland, Oregon. Co-fronted by married couple Chris Karl Hoganson and Betty Downey (ROOM), their all-star lineup includes current and former members of Reptaliens, Charlie Hilton, The Gossip, Shoplifting, and a litany of other Portland rock & roll barnstormers. An explosion of color and sound onstage, The Fur Coats have built a large and devoted following at home and abroad since their inception early in the 2010s.
