Spoon Benders and Friends Throw Punk Rock Party in Portland, Oregon

By Greg Homolka

In the few short years since singer/guitarist Katy Black willed Spoon Benders into existence, the band has combined garage-psych musical sensibilities with a punk rock DIY ethos, and turned it into a tangible success. Over the past several months, Spoon Benders has been invited to join one tour after another, and filled the time in between with appearances at rock festivals around the western U.S. On April 1st, Spoon Benders returned to Portland, Oregon, and, along with fellow Portland bands Kill Michael and Help, hosted a sold-out, all-ages show at the Mission Theater.

Hard and heavy rockers Kill Michael opened the show. Their sludge sounds and growling vocals were embellished with intermittent congas and an enthusiastic, maraca-wielding, slam-dancing hype man. Their set culminated with Kill Michael’s lead singer getting the best of the maraca shaker in a staged boxing match on the dance floor.

Portland noise punk favorites Help then offered up a set of no-holds-barred thrash-and-burn ragers that channeled angst and energy in true punk fashion. The members of Help spent time in popular indie rock bands before getting together and finding cathartic release in laying down raucous rockers that speak to trying times, and literally screaming for help in the fight for freedom and equality. Black, along with fellow Spoon Benders Leo Pastor and Velvet, all made it on stage to participate in the musical mayhem.

It wasn’t long before Spoon Benders took the stage and got down to business. They played a majority of the songs on their first release, 2020’s Dura Mater, as well as some more recent singles, including 2021’s “Cut Behind” and latest release “Rm. 157,” which features Pastor on lead vocals rather than Black. The crowd was an active participant, head banging, moshing, and literally supporting the band when one of the members decided to play horizontally, riding atop the outstretched arms of fans. Help’s Ryan Neighbors joined the fray toward the end of the set, coming onstage to play some guitar and get in on the crowd surfing action.

It’s been a little over a year since I first saw Spoon Benders at Treefort Music Fest in Boise, Idaho. In that year, they’ve gained confidence and cohesion as a band, driving forward and crowd surfing the ensuing wave to more shows and a devoted fanbase. It will be fun to see where their youthful exuberance and dedication to their craft takes them next.

Catch Spoon Benders at Portland’s Doug Fir Lounge on May 12 for the celebration of the release of sophomore album, How Things Repeat.

What do you mean role playing, Mobius? We’re simply abiding local wardrobe traditions, everything else is simply a coincidence (including the choice of the hats)

every time an author mentions ethan’s supposed military background i immediately have to close out of the fic. girl ethan hunt would not touch the us military with a mile long pole. clearly you never sat for hours on you basement floor on cold ass tile straining your neck up to look at the tv & click through all of the characters’ background files on the mi1 dvd special features . u don’t KNOW him

#ethan hunt?? a military man?? girl on what planet #he has so much distaste for the us gov let alone any form of authority he wouldn’t have SURVIVED #he’d have quit or been fired within the first week if he even dared to enlist (which he wouldn’t have)#the only reason he’s in the imf is bc he knows what they do is GOOD and he has to work around all the stupid ass gov officials #and when he knows it’s not?? he doesn’t do it!!! he rebels!#man break protocol & is a bitch to authority every 5 minutes #he’s a low class farm boy theater nerd u can’t IGNORE THAT #i’m just saying people that only got into the series post gp aren’t the same….. unfortunately #also the fault of gp producers to let out another file background for the team?? like girl do your research it’s already been decided #-disclaimer- before anyone gets mad i’m not actually hating anyone other than whoever made the gp background files #but i WILL refuse to read any military!ethan fics or posts #anyways #contradictory info in series makes me so mad like how’d you let that happen #mission impossible #ethan hunt #*

nothing just thinking about how a ponniyan selvan movie was not just mani ratnam’s dream but also the dream of so many that came before him and how kollywood has finally put the story on screen after 70 years…

#mgr and kamal haasan wanted to do it #it was a tamil story and it shows a part of tamil history that isn’t often portrayed in media #i just am emotional about this movie #70 years old and people are ever enchanted and how old people are coming to theaters to watch the movie with a cast #that probably weren’t born when they first read the book #how the books mani ratnam’s first gift to his wife and his life long mission #how now these stories will reach the next generation and so on and so forth #cindy rambles #kollywood #tamil #ponniyin selvan #ps1 #aishwarya rai #trisha krishnan #mani ratnam #ar rahman

Underrated Mission: Impossible moment that keeps me up at night is in Fallout, after Lane reveals he’s staying behind to die in the explosion, deciding he wants to torture and kill both Benji and Ilsa personally even though he’s confident everyone Ethan cares about will die anyway.

#mission impossible fallout #benji dunn #ilsa faust #mission impossible #i love philip seymour hoffman too but sean harris does not get enough love for the particular brand of sadistic nastiness he plays #can’t stand up against ethan physically so he goes after the two members of the team he feels he can dominate #the first time i saw fallout in theaters this scene nearly gave me a heart attack #something something the two people who keep being underestimated and/or targeted because they’re seen as ‘weaker’#something something women + queer men teaming up against the man obsessed with cis male heteronormative performances of strength #every action scene does tremendous character work but this one really gets me because lane really hates these two #and benji’s been worried the whole time he’ll end up as collateral in ilsa’s pursuit of lane #but benji comes for her anyway and she picks benji’s life over killing lane and completing her mission #i am forever cursed to be obsessed with the relationship dynamics between side characters but these movies especially scramble my brain

Hey mocha, Aster/Cherry here! I was checking out your recent AU posts and was wondering if the VA AU has a Tonio? :3c

oh! yeah, actually :> he's not super prominent or anything, but he's a singing/piano teacher at the theater - I like to call him a grumpy Squidward because that's pretty much his personality XD

#asks #vocal android verse #he also teaches prima! she's his best student #i had an idea for an episode where miku and friends visit the theater for opera lessons and prima makes it her mission to sabotage them #so she remains in that spot lolol
