Guest Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Looks like they're hitting the road with Port O'Brien and The Dig and American Ghetto is coming out soon. We are very excited to be heading out on tour again. As promised we will be hitting most of the cities we missed on the last tour. Sadly we cannot hit every town but we will do our best trying. Coming out on tour are fellow Alaskan's Port O'Brien and New York's The Dig. We expect this to be a fun tour. Thank you for all the moral support over the past few months, we are close to replacing a most of the gear and will have by the time.We will shortly make an official announcement for the release of American Ghetto. This one is for you, we are not sending it to press and we are not sending it to radio. When all the finishing touches are complete we will make it available to everyone on the same day. OK, we will answer 2 questions right now... * Yes, it is an entire album, 11 songs * Yes, it is a slightly more electronic, beats, samplers, etc. album than The Satanic Satanist. Maybe not something for the casual listener but for those who have a most of our records we think you will love it. Once again a huge thank you for all support. Without you there is no Portugal. The Man. See you on the Road. Make sure you say hello They have a "tour pack" download at http://portugaltheman.com/tourdownload/ with 2 tracks from each band and a video: "Portugal The Man - 1989 (Live from Oregon City Sessions)" Kinda bummed there are no LA dates. Wondering if American Ghetto will be put on wax... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eriathomas Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 No dates close to me again, hopefully they'll be here in the summer. I'm excited about the new album, and live cd/dvd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhythmgtr5 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 glad to see they are coming back to minneapolis. Is the full oregon city session available anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I was just reading in my school's newspaper that a former student who was last seen in Germany after attending a Portugal. The Man show was found dead in a river last month. Small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlerobot Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 This tour was meant to hit the spots they couldnt hit on the last tour. That explains the lack of some major cities. Also, they are working on the artwork for A.G. this week! As for the Oregon City Sessions, there is a full version, but they are not sure how they will go about releasing it.

I'm not sure if it'll be available on its own, but if all goes as planned, it will be a package deal. It wont be released at the same time that the album is "released", though.

Nothing has been finalized, but all the info should be available really soon. Artwork and such is being worked on currently and should be ready soon.

Guest Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Nice, man.. Are you in charge of the artwork for this release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkticon Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Awesome. Thanks for the info. I'll definitely pick up the vinyl "package" as long as the price isn't insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adam526 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Nice, man.. Are you in charge of the artwork for this release? Oops, wasn't trying to take responsibility for it by any means. John and Austin Sellers (Austinmadethis.com) are working on it. They're responsible for all the major stuff. Check out his site, awesome shit.
