About this Event
and MirrorEye Present
- “Field and Cep channel the reverb-washed slo-mo of Slowdive and the sparkling ambiance of Air into a lush, guitar-swollen whole”. “Psych- Fuzz Epic”-Spin Magazine
“What your so-called shoegaze is supposed to sound like. Indelible melodies and singing plus great guitar work”.-Brad Laner of Medicine
“The Stargazer Lilies possess a truly widescreen, cinematic sound with crescendoes that build cascading waves of sound enveloping your whole body. The music is a bit darker than standard dream pop fare but that only makes it that much more mesmerizing.” “If you’re in the need of some serious new dream pop -and who isn’t- you can scarcely do better than The Stargazer Lilies.”-Pop Matters
“Modern shoegaze often falls flat because it seems more occupied with getting the sound right and foregoing everything else; The Stargazer Lilies get the sound and the feel right and that makes their album much, much more than just revisiting the past”.-Tim Sendra/All Music
- formed in Los Angeles in 2021 by the duo of Lauren Andino and Glenn Fryatt. Late night jam sessions in the midst of lockdown uncertainty slowly transformed into TREMOURS creative partnership, driven by the tension between Andino’s hazy, drifting guitars and Fryatt’s urgent, pulsating drums.
South Carolina-born Andino has played with LSD And The Search For God and most recently L.A. Witch as a touring guitarist. Fryatt hails from Portsmouth, England, and has toured as a drummer for artists such as Cherubs, The Montrose Avenue and Ten Benson.
TREMOURS sees them each newly harnessing and exploring their own creative impulses, inspired by everything from shoegaze to jazz to electronica to literature to looking out at the sea. “Most of our songs center around loneliness. Not necessarily sadness, but the comfort that you can find in being lonely,” says Andino. “It’s when I feel most calm.”
“Live, we have been told that it can be intense,” Fryatt says. “I have no choice but to let go and trust Glenn when we are playing. This is the only band where I've had to do that, and I think that's where our intense stage dynamic comes from -- focusing and trusting one another,” Andino adds.
– Portland’s Psychedelic Storyteller
For more than two decades, Portland singer‑songwriter Rick Bain has sculpted some of the city’s most captivating psychedelic rock. He first turned heads in 1997 when he re‑created the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds on a 4‑track recorder in his apartment, playing every instrument himself (a feat covered in this early profile). Bain formed the Genius Position and released the hypnotic blend of Pink Floyd‑meets‑Beatles pop (2000). The album earned rave reviews from outlets like the , and Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre later said it was the album he wished he’d made.
Bain followed with (2004), a Brit‑pop‑inflected record whose standout tracks “Welcome To My Daydream” and “Amy Jane” are celebrated in reviews. After stepping back to raise a family and work outside of music (a comeback story told in PDX Magazine), he returned with the shimmering (2019) and a in 2020. Today Bain performs only a handful of shows each year with a line‑up that includes his wife Amy Jane on bass and organist/manager Byron Lee. This is a rare chance to witness a true Portland legend in an intimate setting.
