Did I mention that 13 Cent Bob is currently my favorite Portland band? Now you know.
Scott (lead guitar) is a friend and has been in bands probably since I first met him (1990) and he's really hitting his stride (not that I've ever seen him perform before!). 13 cent bob is apparently hip-hop / funk - they've got great writing, very listenable and danceable (and enjoyable) music and lyrics, hot dancers, and the musicians jam.
Apparently their next show is the Trick or Tease (October 7) at the Atrium Lounge in Vancouver (606 Broadway). I saw them for the first time at the Ash Street Saloon last saturday. Not a great venue, in my opinion - but the band was excellent.
They did just release their 1st album: King Robot, which has some great tracks, and (a big bonus) my kids like the robot voices. Music for the whole family! My favorite track is I love New York. Here's the Youtube video. Beautifully done.
