Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man is not a man. It is a four-piece hailing from the fabled Alaska and settled in Portland, Oregon, though their rock n roll mantra of record, tour, repeat as necessary means that they're not home all that much. 800 shows and six albums in (In The Mountain In The Cloud is their accomplished latest) Portugal. The Man are on the cusp of breakthrough success, though you suspect they don't care about that much. They're a jam band, capable of texturally rich, sprawling opuses and europhic singalongs. Current single ‘Got It All (This Can't Be Living Now)', for example, wouldn't be out of place on the Almost Famous bus. Makes for a rollicking good time.
