News Say Hello to The Wail

Still boo-hooing that Rererato closed their doors last October? Well, dry those eyes my friends, because the multi-use show/art/whatever space is back in action under new management and with a snazzy new name, The Wail.

The Wail is a music and art venue located in a former Hare Krishna Temple/video store in Northeast Portland. We are all-ages and non-profit. We are not a video store and not Hare Krishnas (although we do believe in transcendence through vibrations).

Although I would personally prefer that they were a Hare Krishna video store—where else am I going to rent a VHS copy of Bhakti Charu Sw: Personal Instruction from Srila Prabhupada?—this new showspace has a slew of quality shows on the docket, including a (not literally) roof-raising grand opening party on the 6th of February with (not literally) the mayor of Olympia, Calvin Johnson.

Thanks to Cary for the heads up.
