MusicFest NW Schedule Takes Shape
The schedule for Portland’s Musicfest NW has begun to coalesce into a pretty solid festival lineup and continues to create the probably one time when having a car in downtown Portland seems like the better option (because otherwise good luck catching the bus from Holocene after the Local Natives set to see Cymbals Eat Guitars play the Doug Fir, only to rush over to the Roseland to miss the Girl Talk gig).
