Malkmus, Silver Jews, Britt Daniel to Play Musicfest NW

Musicfest NW

On September 7-9, practically every live venue in Portland, Oregon will be jam-packed with attendees of Willamette Week's annual Musicfest NW festival. This year's fest benefits the Rock and Roll Camp for Girls and the Oregon Music Hall of Fame, and, usual, showcases dozens of artists from the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

We're most excited about the Stephen Malkmus/Silver Jews double bill at the Crystal Ballroom on September 8, but other highlights include the Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre together at last at the same venue the night before, as well as performances from Britt Daniel of Spoon, the Black Keys, Eric Bachmann, Centro-Matic, Jeremy Enigk, Richard Buckner, the Blow, Lifesavas, Kristen Hersh, Little Brother, M-1 (of Dead Prez), the Joggers, the Melvins, Dead Moon, the Helio Sequence, Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, Viva Voce, Swords (playing their last show), and Little Steven's Underground Garage Showcase, featuring the Zombies, the Mooney Suzuki, the Woggles, and Phantom Planet. Plenty of other acts, ranging from singer/songwriters (‘cause it wouldn't be a Northwestern festival without ‘em!) to rock bands to hip hop artists, are also scheduled.
