Portugal. The Man is an American indie rock/psychedelic rock band that was founded in Wasilla, Alaska in 2004 and is currently based in Portland, Oregon.
With their unique blend of genres, Portugal. The Man has gained a dedicated following and critical acclaim throughout their career. Their music showcases a range of influences, from psychedelic rock to pop and hip-hop elements.
Known for their catchy hooks and thought-provoking lyrics, the band has released numerous albums and singles that have resonated with fans worldwide. Portugal. The Man continues to push boundaries and create innovative music that captivates audiences everywhere.

Portugal. The Man had been a band for just over 2 years and in that period, they had released 3 full-lengths, 1 EP, and a couple standalone singles. In that same period, they had also performed just shy of 500 shows. This young band from Alaska was riding a creative wave that is rarely seen, coupled with the most hardcore work ethic. Alaskans are tough and this band was tougher.

They ended tour in December of 2008 and instead of taking a much-needed break made the decision that they needed to record the culmination of what their live performance had become. Finding a rare gem of a studio in the suburbs of Portland, they piled in to the studio with all their live gear and a handful of friends with handheld cameras. Longtime collaborator and filmmaker Graham (Baclagon) Agcaolli and engineer/mixer Jacob Portrait (who would later join Unknown Mortal Orchestra) would help to document.

2021. The band has been off the road for well over a year, by far the longest break from the road since they started and the time just seems right. Here is “Oregon City Sessions” dug out of the archives. Untouched, unchanged from the day it was finished. It is a time capsule of a band finding its way. A snapshot of young raw talent before they won awards, before they sold millions of records, before they headlined festivals. Just a couple kids from Alaska wanting to travel the world and play music.
