Lizard Skin is a noise rock/post-punk band formed in Portland, OR in 2017 and specializes in swampy dirges overlaid with tortuous throat-shredding vocals. In their current incarnation, the band is comprised of vocalist Dillon Morton, guitarist Mark Arciaga (of Puerta Negra, Mortal Screen), bassist Susan Subtract (of High-Functioning Flesh, Mortal Screen), and drummer Just Dave (of Railing, Rotties, Over, Nux Vomica). They are joined by Of Wires and Televillain.

Chipped Nail Polish draws from indie rock, lo-fi pop, and surf punk, blending jagged energy with a softer edge. The songs are raw and personal, shaped by sharp lyrics, emotional honesty, and an understated sense of humor. Come celebrate the debut album, After Ankeny, marking a new era of change, movement, and the bittersweet process of growing into yourself. Joined by Mary Eliza and Mister Heavy.

Pigeon Milk strips the soundtracks from forgotten art films and performs new scores live as the movies unfold on screen. What emerges is pure audiovisual alchemy – vintage cinema colliding with modern synths, bass guitars, and driving electro-acoustic rhythms. This isn't background music. It's live soundtrack surgery. The band inhabits these films, transforming dusty celluloid into hypnotic dreamscapes through layers of electronic textures and thunderous drums. "Angels Egg" then, "Godzilla."

Playing on the top of mountains, next to towering glaciers, and afloat out in the Gulf of Alaska. They're joined by Supernatural Beavers and Eel Salad.

Join us for another installment of Lose Yr Mind’s new, FREE, weekly music series, MONDAY NIGHT LIVE. This week we have Tropa Magica back at it again, formed by brothers David and Rene Pacheco in 2018. Inspired by the songs and vibes of their 90’s East LA backyard parties. The band blends in the guitar and rhythms of 60’s Peruvian Cumbias and 90’s grunge with a southern psychedelic twist that transports the listener into a tropical psychedelic dance party. ~ Karaoke after the show!
