Máscaras

We’re playing the last Rontoms Sunday Session of the decade on December 29th with Marisa Anderson. Words cannot express how honored we are to be sharing the floor with one of our favorite musicians. Come gather around the fire one last time in 2019 and celebrate the beginning of the next revolution.

These homies are the real deal. Sons of Mali, musical refugees, groundbreaking artists, virtuoso performers, survivors. Unforgettable & undeniable. ‪Songhoy Blues‬ are the future of African rock n’ roll.

We’re beyond thrilled to be sharing the stage again with this incredible group! $18 advance tickets / $20 day of show.

Round up your posse or saddle up for a solo trip to Pendleton with us and Orquestra Pacifico Tropical for the Jackalope Jamboree June 28th & 29th.

OPT kicks off the festivities with a free PRE-JAMBO-REE PARTY Friday night at the Great Pacific and we play the Jamboree the following evening with a ton of pickers and shredders at the Happy Canyon Arena.

Best of all, you can pitch a tent Saturday night and keep those costs down to the ground.

[W]e’ve been working the old 🍕 press to make 5 small, 5 med, 5 lg shirts and we found 5 out-of-print Máscara vs. Máscara LPs at a very fair price*. I invite you to find us at the merch table after the set.

We’re headlining Saturday night of the 35th Annual Portland Cinco De Mayo Fiesta (May 3-5).

Show up early for authentic foods, drinks, carnival rides, dancing, mariachi, face painting and a ton of other stuff. 

Stick around and chill with us after our set; Papi’s bringing his vinyl to DJ the rest of the night.

Our track “Bloodsmoker” is featured on episode 479 of The 500 Podcast with Josh Adam Meyers. The podcast is a nearly 10 year mission to breakdown every album from the Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. “Our episode” is about one of our favorite albums, “Maggot Brain” by Funkadelic. Give it a listen and subscribe to The 500 wherever you listen to podcasts.

We’re on the new episode of the Judge John Hodgman Podcast. We had maximum fun playing a couple of songs for a sold-out podcast taping at Aladdin Theater last month and we’re stoked to share it with you!

Másvana is closing out the annual Hocus Pocus Halloween Party (on actual Halloween night!) at The Liquor Store with our best homie Jem from The Ghost Ease on vox/gtr. Candace is opening with their incredible ZZ Top cover band aka Sharp Dressed Ma’am. DJ El Dorado will be spinning gold records all night!

We were so honored to be invited to open for Pacific Northwest music legends Kinski and Bay Area shredders Feral Ohms. You, bring your friends to High Water Mark and we’ll bring the noise.
