Black Pussy, Norska, Lord Dying, Floor, Mississippi Studios, Stumpfest 2013

I have always thought "Black Pussy" was kind of a weird band name for a bunch of white dudes. I had this comic languishing penciled in my sketchbook, but didn't get around to inking and uploading it until a few internet posts went around raising controversy about the name. If anything, a healthy debate came of it. Also, Stumpfest is a wonderful festival, featuring most of my favorite bands from the area, as well as a few others. This was the FIRST time I heard FLOOR!!! So glad they got back together. Now they are one of my favorite bands, not from Portland.

East End Block Party: Norska, Heavy Voodoo, Turboigor

Here is an actual recent show (as opposed to something from eight months ago) that happened THIS SUMMER in the heat of Portland musical festival mayhem.
