For the price of one of Portugal. The Man's albums, fans got to experience an intimate concert at a local record store.
Saturday afternoon, the band Portugal. The Man, with it's strangely punctuated name, played a acoustic session at Fingerprints Music, a record store located in downtown Long Beach. The band, led by frontman John Gourley, played music from their new album, In The Mountain in the Cloud, along with some of their older songs. When they sang their song, People Say, which is from their fourth studio album, the whole crowd sang along to the catchy chorus.
Portugal. The Man, according to their official website, are a band originally from Wasilla, Alaska, that are based in Portland, Oregon. They have six studio albums to date, with In the Mountain in the Coud, being their most recent. After the show, the audience had the opportunity to get their albums signed by the band, along with the special edition poster that was handed out for free by Fingerprints.
Fingerprints Music, along with featuring a large selection of cds and vinyl close to Cal State Long Beach campus, also puts on shows quite frequently. The reasonable entrance fee into these, close, intimate concerts is to buy one album by the band you are seeing. Considering the fact that concerts can be quite expensive, especially for the poor college student, Fingerprints is the perfect place to get that concert feel without hurting your pocketbook.
Previous performances at Fingerprints have included Dengue Fever, Release The Sunbird, The Kooks, and many other great bands. The next performance is October 11, featuring the band, Two Guns.
