I’m really looking forward to my show at The Doug Fir in Portland coming up just after the new year on the 7th of January. It’s gonna be a really good night. Cars & Trains will be performing a set, then The Gentry will do their thing. After that, I will take the stage and will be performing with BOTH of the other bands at different points during my set. It’s gonna be WILD!
I’ll be touring with The Gentry next year at some point and they have come on board as my new live band (in place of “Cars & Trains” who is going on a different tour this time around!) Anyway, we’ll be unveiling all of that at this show, so don’t miss it. It is certainly a new experience to have a full band backing me. It’s LOUD and awesome.
See you in a couple weeks, everybody!!! Here’s the poster:

I was interviewed by “Oregon Music News” last week and the story went live today. To check it out, CLICK HERE or you can read the full transcript below. The story will also be running on the homepage of the “Oregon Music News” website this Sunday, so…YAY. Thanks, OMN! I love it when magazines print my words as I say them instead of picking and choosing little snippets and making me sound stupid.
Here’s the transcript, folks:
From “Oregon Music News” (11/19/2009)
“Logan Lynn makes emotronic, electropop. A gay man from America’s heartland, raised in a family of cult-like, born-again Christians, he’s found a way out of some dark, lost days. Influenced by folk music growing up and DJs in Chicago, Logan’s demo was titled This Is Folk Techno. Sentimental lyrics paired with capricious electro-beats, Logan’s sound ranges from dejected to dancey, creating moods that resemble The Postal Service. Relishing in Portland’s creativity, Logan is signed to The Dandy Warhols’ label Beat The World and is becoming a people person. He celebrates his new album From Pillar To Post with a listening party on Sunday, November 22nd at Jinx Bar with The Dandy’s Zia McCabe spinning records as DJ Rescue, but before the drinks, Logan chats about being emo, hiding under the sheets, and grandma’s adages.”
OMN: Are you emo? What’s wrong with that word? Or is it just right?
LL: Well, that depends. Read the rest of this entry »
