As a native Pacific-Northwesterner with roots in the music scene, our very own Blake Wyland is verifiably Portland-proud. But this week he delves into one of the city's darkest stories...with shocking ties to a beloved rock venue.
This episode of Tape Spaghetti takes you inside the history of Portland’s Roseland Theater, previously known as the Starry Night nightclub—where the town's vibrant music culture masked something incredibly sinister.
Sure, lots of clubs engage in semi-shady operations, but in this case, a story about a scrappy rock venue quickly twists into a full-blown crime saga involving counterfeit tickets, a volatile owner, a group of deeply suspicious insiders, and an employee who gets too close to exposing the truth.
When things take a violent turn, the aftermath is as unsettling as the crime itself. No body. Lingering mystery. How the heck did this story stay hidden for so long?
