Portland rock club Satyricon , dubbed by some as CBGB of the West Coast, will be closing its doors forever in October, but not without a month-long send off for a quarter century of service to the Portland rock community.

When The Dandys were asked to participate in this send off, we said “of course.” Some of the band’s most memorable moments from its formative years took place between Satyricon’s graffitied walls. It was a no-brainer to ask Swoon 23 and Sugarboom, friends and Tim/Kerr label mates, to join us. Yeah, that’s a pretty legendary line-up.  But then we thought, huh, what’s missing from this picture. Well, it turned out that missing piece was Eric Hedford. So, for the first time in over twelve years, Eric Hedford, drummer and founding member of The Dandy Warhols, will be performing with the band.

I know it sounds too good to be true. And if you were born before 1979, it is.  See, we thought it that since this is kind of a scene reunion show that we have the party be for ages thirty-one (31) and over.  Even worse news, I’m sure there will be no smoking allowed.  Have you ever seen a clear Satyricon? I haven’t. Seems wrong.
