Club Pop with Glass Candy

Thursday, November 29

Portland’s massive, arched Fremont Bridge is as impressive to look at as it is to drive over—a semi-modern engineering masterpiece that looms over a city peppered with little industrial bridges. But over the last couple years, from the gritty bowels of Portland, an even bigger bridge has been built, one that spans not only any old river, but rather the whole country and an entire ocean. And Glass Candy is the designer and foreman of this project, a bridge that connects Portland’s modern sleaze-glam with the forward-thinking European disco of the early ‘80s, or Italo-disco. Named the “Giogio Moroder Sky-Way” after the pioneering producer, the bridge is a futuristic roadway dazzling with neon lights, dark stone/ivory towers brimming with drugs, and no railings to stop the listener from careening over the edge. But on this bridge, you don’t drive—you dance. And Glass Candy will help you cross over. With Mike Simonetti, DJ Devon Varmega, DJs Colby B. and Glitterpants.

Listen to a sample of Glass Candy’s “Candy Castle.”
