Portugal. The Man had been a band for just over 2 years and in that period, they had released 3 full-lengths, 1 EP, and a couple standalone singles. In that same period, they had also performed just shy of 500 shows. This young band from Alaska was riding a creative wave that is rarely scene coupled with the most hardcore work ethic. Alaskan are tough and this band was tougher.
Driving from city to city, buying bulk bags of rice and a couple times a week splurging with some items with their Taco Bell - Feed The Beat bucks, PTM was committed. They ended tour in December of 2008 and instead of taking a much-needed break made the decision that they needed to record the culmination of what their live performance had become. Finding a rare gem of a studio in the suburbs of Portland. They piled in to the studio with all their live gear and a handful of friends with handheld cameras. Longtime collaborator and filmmaker Graham (Baclagon) Agcaolli and engineer/mixer Jacob Portrait (who would later join Unknown Mortal Orchestra) would help to document.
Run the full set, one time through. No re-takes. No overdubs. Just the band in its natural form.
What next? In typical PTM fashion they were heading into the studio a couple weeks later to record their next album “The Satanic Satanist” and “Oregon City Sessions” got put on a shelf. Why release old music when you can release new music. There it sat for over a decade. A select few saw the full film. The band, their manager or tour manager would occasionally offer to go over to people’s homes screen it for them. Sometimes in the parking lot the band would screen a handful of songs to the local supporters. They forged friendships but whenever asked the answer would always be “yeah, we will release that at some point”.
2021. The band has been off the road for well over a year, by far the longest break from the road since they started and the time just seems right. Here is “Oregon City Sessions” dug out of the archives. Untouched, unchanged from the day it was finished. It is a time capsule of a band finding its way. A snapshot of young raw talent before they won awards, before they sold millions of records, before they headlined festivals. Just a couple kids from Alaska wanting to travel the world and play music

Lyrics:
Through crooked teeth and mouthed up ties
They spit you up river just like all those lions
That walked the banks
They said, "Paint me that river
And would you use only blues
With a brilliant big black mouth and?
Lengths of pines that route the river through
Through and through"
Fashion ballrooms of the leaves
We'd like to watch the ghosts dance
They said, "Paint me that arm
That lies directly over mountains
Where the glaciers climb so tall
One absent of the scars passing boats and ships and oars
Tend to leave with all the sounds of the ocean"
I am but a man
But a proud, proud man
Silver bells that line the way
Through baited trails
We'll find you there

Lyrics:
I can see it in your eyes
See it in your face
Banging on your chest
Acting tough looking unphased
Trippin over landlines
Cutting deep with a dull blade
Running out of unrest
Going out of your mind
Lonely days will follow
Days will follow
And the gangs that stalk the halls will know your name
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
The aftershock the aftershock
Triggered by the aftershock
I can see it with my own eyes
It tracks down your face
It can’t be easy trying to unwind
Sleeping on your daydreams
I’m not trying to role play
But these days can break I’ll take the wheel
These days can break but i’m gonna take the wheel
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
The aftershock the aftershock
Triggered by the aftershock
Bet on the winners
Wasted youth born to lose
Bed with no dinner
Wasted youth born to lose
Better than zero
Wasted youth born to lose
Bet on the winners
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
The aftershock the aftershock
Triggered by the aftershock

Portugal. The Man took 2017 by the horns after a considerably long gap, between records. They spent years working on an album called Gloomin + Doomin before later developing what would become known as their latest studio album WOODSTOCK. Fate struck lead singer, John Gourley, twice. First, John got some parental tough love from his old man. “What’s taking so long to finish the album?,” John’s dad asked. “Isn’t that what bands do? Write songs and then put them out?” The whole thing got John thinking about why the band seemed to be stuck on a musical elliptical machine from hell and more importantly, about how to get off of it. Second, John found his dad’s ticket stub from the original 1969 Woodstock music festival, which ultimately knocked something loose in his head. He realized that, in the same tradition of bands from that era, Portugal. The Man needed to speak out about the world crumbling around them.
With these two ideas converging, the band made a seemingly bat-shit-crazy decision: they took all of the work they had done for the three years prior and threw it out. The band went back to the studio – working with John Hill, Danger Mouse and longtime collaborator Casey Bates. In this new-found creative territory, the album that became WOODSTOCK rolled out naturally from there. Fast forward to present day and it was impossible to escape the album’s first single “Feel It Still,” which dominated the charts and radio airwaves in 2017. The 6X Platinum Certified hit reigned at #1 at nearly all radio formats, including Top 40, as well as Alternative, where the song held the chart’s top spot for a mind-blowing 20 weeks, breaking the record for most weeks at #1. Yes, you read that right. 5 guys from Wasilla, Alaska who have played nearly 1,500 shows in their career broke Alternative radio records and had a #1 song at Pop radio. Billboard Magazine even went as far as to call the song, “the unexpected rock crossover hit of 2017,” while Rolling Stone listed it as “one of the best songs of 2017.” AND THEN…the band kicked off 2018 by winning a GRAMMY Award for “Feel It Still.” WOODSTOCK has since been certified gold, as has their second single “Live In The Moment”.

Lyrics:
Some were reborn
Some were simply shaken free
And some were the colors
That took to the streets
They found in their later years
Yeah, they see what we need
Its love for each other
And every living thing
And All my time
Is used
All my only
And lonely time too
Some simply shaking free
Some were the colors
That poured through the streets
They thought in their younger years
They knew what to do
Knew what to say
Had nothing to lose
Now pick up and pack up
The place you were pink
And falling around
Dripping and crawling and
Clawing and inside
Youre missing some sounds
The ones that float , carry
And dance about time
And space that it lends
Room to be free like the sun and the moon
Save for the sounds
Well be reborn
Well simply be free
And well be the colors
That pour through the streets
And find in our after years
That were all the same
Were all made of colors
And pour through the streets
