About the album

“When I was asked to make a compilation of 12 local bands the task before me was both easy and terribly frustrating. Easy because there are many bands to choose from and frustrating because there are only 12 slots on the CD. I tried, and hopefully succeeded, to include a broad swath of music from Portland's indie music scene — pop rock from Blitzen Trapper and Another Cynthia; hard-edged rock/electronic from Hockey and Faux Hoax; folk, American and neo-folk from Au, Loch Lomond, Nick Jaina and Run On Sentence; and analog/electronic sampled beats from Squall, Mount Analog, Boy Eats Drum Machine and Panther.

It's a small but tasty bite of what Portland has to offer.”

Where to stay  

Official Indie Music Hotel Partners:

The Ace Hotel

“Pure rock ’n’ roll bohemia.” – Wallpaper*, June/July 2007
“The country’s most original new hotel.” – New York Times Style Magazine, March 25, 2007
1022 S.W. Stark St., Portland. Map it.

Why it rocks: You’ll find hand-painted murals in every room and record players in the suites; as the front desk, you can borrow vintage vinyl or buy guitar strings or bike-repair kits; myriad clubs and bars are within stumbling distance; and the hotel played a role in Gus Van Sant’s Drugstore Cowboy.

The Jupiter Hotel

“One of the top four new (old) hotels in the U.S.” – GQ, 2005
“One of the best new hotels in the world.” – Condé Nast Traveler, 2005
800 E. Burnside St., Portland. Map it.

Why it rocks: Wack Hair Salon, Colorbomb Tattoo and the Doug Fir — Portland’s hippest music venue and late-night restaurant and bar — are all on-site, just steps away from the guest rooms’ chalkboard doors, which beg for self-expression.
Bonus: Includes two tickets to any show at the Doug Fir (21 and over only).
