“Portugal. The Man's recorded output is well-constructed and entertaining, but nothing compares to the combination of bluesy riffs and psychedelic freakouts exploding from live speakers. At Bonnaroo 2009, for instance, the Alaskan band was responsible for a rolling, stomp-rock roar in the middle of a pouring rainstorm. They are hitting the festival circuit again this summer, but don't miss them in a smaller setting while you still can.”

Highline says:
Within days of Alternative Press including Censored Colors on its list of 10 Essential Albums of 2008, the members of Portugal. The Man were trudging through the Boston snow to start work on their fourth release in four years, The Satanic Satanist. As John Baldwin Gourley, named the year’s Best Vocalist in that same issue of AP, explains the pace at which his band has turned out any number of the decade’s more inspired moments, “Honestly, I think we should be putting out more music. It keeps you thinking, keeps you growing and progressing. If you stop and let it sit for too long, I feel like you start to lose track of where you were going.”
