As you know, the pre-order for my new record went live this week and alongside it came the release of my new single, a collaboration with mega producer Rian Lewis (Gorillaz, Chromeo) called Underground. If you haven’t already, you can stream it FREE on Bandcamp HERE, Apple Music HERE, and Amazon Music HERE — and make it yours forever when you pre-order your copy of “My Movie Star”.

We will be releasing the Underground music video, a stop-motion animated short by Laika Studios-trained filmmaker and illustrator, Adam Taylor this July. Adam has been hard at work putting this thing together for months and I’m freaking out about how rad this vision turned out. Such a talented dude!

Premiere details coming soon! Here are some stills and behind-the-scenes photos from the Underground shoot to tide you over… Read the rest of this entry »

Portugal. the Man teaming up with mental-health awareness campaign for home-state shows

Portugal. the Man will be raising awareness for mental health during the band’s four shows in Oregon next month.

According to Billboard, the “Feel It Still” rockers, who originated in Alaska but now are based in Portland, are teaming up with public-advocacy campaign Keep Oregon Well to continue its goal of fighting the stigma surrounding metal health.

“Mental health is personal for our whole band,” says frontman John Gourley. “As touring musicians, self-care can quickly become make it or break it on the road.”

The shows take place August 24 and 25 in Portland, and August 30 and 31 in Jacksonville and Bend, respectively.

Portugal. the Man is currently touring Europe behind their 2017 album Woodstock, and they’ll return to the U.S. later this month. If you catch the band on tour, you’ll get to see their intro video, which features none other than Beavis and Butthead reviewing “Feel It Still.”
