ON FIRE was started to help create and maintain a music scene that is more about friendship and mutual aid than about scene points or profit; we want you to be a part of this. Simply stated, our mission is to create a community to help underground bands survive--and thrive--as underground bands. By pooling the resources in our existing community we can help each other avoid re-doing a lot of the hard work that's already been done by others. (Don't worry, it'll still be a challenge!). This is not meant to replace already excellent resources like pc-pdx, but it will be focused more specifically on the loose-knit, intersecting heavy and experimental scenes in Portland and elsewhere.
We've revamped ON FIRE to make it more accessible and user-friendly, with a decidedly old-school yet reliable format: a message board and calendar. The primary purposes of a centralized but not comprehensive calendar is to make it easier to look for shows and to (perhaps) avoid booking competing shows on the same nights. Our goal is for the board to make booking shows and tours easier for Portland bands and to make it easier for out-of-town bands to get good shows in Portland. It's also meant to be a space where people can share knowledge, techniques, and music, find partners for collaboration, and so on. We'll need your participation.
Stay tuned.
