In Concert: Portugal. The Man @ The Bottleneck

Loving some Portugal. The Man this year...and not just their new album In the Mountain in the Cloud released in July, but also going back to 2008's Censored Colors and 2009's The Satanic Satanist.  Portugal has a fresh sound, revitalizing rock music.  While their albums are a bit lax, their stage show is supercharged.  Every song was played with such excitement and high energy that reverberated through the crowd.  There was not a body in the place that wasn't rocking when they started their beloved hit "People Say" or the all-out cover of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter".  A very exciting show from an exciting new band that everyone should know about.
