Show discussion: Beach Bunny, Scarlet Demore @ Crystal Ballroom, Portland, OR 5/26/25
About a month ago Beach Bunny released Tunnel Vision, their third record, which I have listened to on repeat and yet haven't gotten myself to complete a write up for. Earlier this week, luckily, my partner and I caught the Portland date of their current tour, which was a live experience of the album and a deeper look into the band's history. I had been to Lola's Room, which sits at the second floor of the Crystal Ballroom, but I had never been on the main floor before. The room itself was pretty big, in fact so big I'd say it sort of broke my immersion during sets a bit. Still, it was a beautiful venue, massive chandeliers hung from skylights as well as pretty sprawling murals on the high up parts of the wall. Not to mention the buildings signature bouncy floors! While I did sort of expect a younger crowd I didn't think there would be such a large audience they would have to split the room evenly between twenty-one-plus and not. At first this sort of put off both me...
