SASQUATCH! Music: Portugal. The Man - The Sun



I have to be honest, I picked this one for the video, which is the first time I've felt compelled to do such a thing. The music is pretty good, mostly indie rock/pop with a whole lota high and layered vocals.

Portugal. The Man is based out of the Northwest, however most of the current and former members are from Alaska. There have been attempts to explain the band name, which is awkward because of the period in the middle, but they seem to abstract too repeat here.

They've released six full albums since the first one in 2006, the most recent being American Ghetto, which the Post reviewed here.

A student newspaper recently did an interview with the band, and you can find their national tour schedule on myspace.
