One year ago before the pandemic…

Posted on by

It’s been a whole year since this night… a night that none of us knew would be our only show for 2020 and that still remains our last show up to this point. It was also a brilliant night with incredible performances by our friends Zyl, A//tar, Glasghote and San Francisco’s Brume. We love the folks who put this show on, attended it, recorded and filmed it, and of course the staff at Kenton Club for always being the best and hosting underground Portland art. The song we are playing here is called “Bathed in Light” and will be on our fourth record that we have been working on all of this time.

Winter Shows

Posted on by

Usnea have been back from Europe for a little over a month, many thanks are due to all of the folks who put together the tour, befriended us, fed us, supported us and made it all so great and most of all to UFOMAMMUT! We will forever love those guys.

So we have a few Winter shows booked and then nothing until Spring 2018 when we are touring the West Coast for the first time since 2015 with our good friends from Seattle, Un (https://unvibes.bandcamp.com/). Hopefully we cross your path and in the meantime enjoy the harshest music during the darkest and harshest time of year.
