Portland, Oregon’s Rose City Band is a big sound/small stage experience, where founder Ripley Johnson turns the notion of the afternoon backyard jam into a massive landscape of sound, conjuring vast vistas filled with the inscrutable symbols of untamed nature. It’s really gorgeous stuff and a perfect band for a perfect venue like the Miniplex, where they will be setting up shop at 8 p.m. with dreamy tourmates Itasca. Fair warning, this one might sell out, so consider grabbing a $15 advance ticket rather than relying on the $20 door price.
