Red, Light, and Cabooze
PORTUGAL. THE MANportugaltheman.com
Portugal. The Man recently shared this Two Inch Punch’s remix of “Purple Yellow Red & Blue” (available on Soundcloud.)
Hear the song:
Portugal. The Man’s frontman John Gourley recall working on his seventh album, Evil Friends , as a collaboration with Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton). According to Gourley, “I walked into his [Danger Mouse] place, and it wasn’t going to happen. He was like, ‘Hey, man, just so you know, I don’t really want to record a rock band.’ And I was a little relieved. We’d done this by ourselves before, and we knew we could do it by ourselves again.”
Finally, after a year, Portugal. The Man finished the recording and released it two weeks ago (June 4th) on Atlantic Records. The band also started their tour in support of the album two days ago… They arrive in Minneapolis this Saturday, June 22nd, the same date that W♥M team will also covering Snowden at Sound Gallery and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin at 7th Street.

You know I love Nico Vega, the band is always fun to see live, although I’m sad to see Minneapolis isn’t part of their itinerary. This new tour is with Crash Kings.
