No place in Portland like Kleveland

Went across town last night to the Tonic Lounge on Sandy blvd. Pretty ordinary Friday night in quiet Portland. This weekend, going out to see good music anywhere in the country is going to be a bit hard. With SXSW absorbing every new band in the country, seeing something special was going to be a tall order. That was until Kleveland went on. With driving beats and and spitfire guitars, this band is one to catch if you into making your ears ring. Stephanie Smith, singer/songwriter, has great energy and a lyrical tongue as sharp as Lynee Breedlove’s switchblade. The video I took, the sound is all blown out and would not serve any purpose. Here is one off of their site.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQr2-jQrq-k[/youtube]Support local music.
