FURTHER INFO:
SUPERFEST! is a celebration of Portland's burgeoning live-band dance scene, described by The Portland Mercury as, "the definitive moment for Portland electronic music!" Now bigger than ever, SuperFest4! will be spread over 4-Days (!) starting with a BIG opening night at Crystal Ballroom, followed by two RAD shows at Backspace, and closing with a FREE show on the PSU South Park Blocks- sponsored by KPSU!
MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS, Inc. (MITS) is a non-profit organization run by Portland high school students passionate about music education. Founded in 2007, MITS has raised over $35,000 for PPS music education through a series of benefit concerts hosted at local venues. The money we raise is split evenly between the several PPS high schools, providing much needed support to programs struggling for funding. In this time of budget cuts and economic uncertainty, raising money for the arts becomes especially important. As students, we are passionate in our belief that music plays an important role in our high school curriculum and want to make sure it survives as a value in public education. We also feel that the traditional music program isn’t for everyone, which is why we’ve begun to host high school band showcases and battles of the bands. These events give students the opportunity to perform for a paying audience alongside established adult acts, an experience invaluable to aspiring musicians.
SUPERNATURE is Portland’s longest running DIY/Dance/Electronic night dedicated to Portland’s live electronic scene. We’ve hosted over 100 local bands, as well as awesome national acts such as Ratatat, LCD Soundsystem, Starfucker & YACHT! SuperFest 4! is the crown jewel of our series, we hope to keep collaborating with Music in the Schools for years to come. We have always been about community and the kids, now more than ever.
