Dear friends, we are happy to announce Chervona's Signature Party - the 17th annual Old New Year Party  - Love Boom, on Sat, April 13h, 2024 at Star Theater Portland!

Why should you come?
It is always great to celebrate NEW Year more than once. If your New Year's wishes and dreams did not come through on Jan 1st,  here is your second chance.
Do you know that people in Eastern Europe have a tradition to celebrate New Year twice, and the calendar change that happened about a hundred years ago has created this opportunity  -  Old New Year!

Why Magic?
The motif of this year’s celebration is Magic and we feel that our mission is to generate as much magic energy as possible to keep the world safe and peaceful!  Our MCs are magicians this year and the band is magical, so our guest singers and DJ.  Are you ready for the magical night? 

This year we'll bring on the stage of the Star Theater  "ALL STAR CHERVONA SHOW". 

The show will include musicians and singers well-known in the community accompanied by the high energy of  CHERVONA - "Best Eastern Europe Party Band in Pacific NW"

Also, we will have DJ Zhenya's Discotheque with the best old and newest hits.
 

CHERVONA –  Presenting the ultimate International Folk and dance party machine out of Portland, Oregon! Combining the energy and passion of Russian pop, American jazz, punk, and disco with Romani folk music, Chervona brings to the game a fiery new and compelling sound.

Underlying every great record, every career-defining work of art, is a certain ineffable, increasingly rarified quality: unity of vision. Great songs need not announce their greatness: their marriage of idea with action, soul with sound, appears as something which is naturally effortless, unforced—they are what they are because they have no choice but to be. On Playing Favorites, Sheer Mag’s third full length and first with Third Man Records, this precise, matured clarity of vision is put on full display. Over the course of the past decade, Sheer Mag have labored to carve out a discernibly singular position within the canon of contemporary rock: toggling with ease between the refined flourishes of a “connoisseur’s band” and the ecstatic colloquialism of populist songwriting—yet displaying no strict loyalty to either camp—their sound, while oft-referenced, is unmistakably and immediately recognizable as theirs alone. With Playing Favorites, Sheer Mag have capitalized on a decade’s worth of devotion to their own collective spirit—a spirit refined in both the sweaty trenches of punk warehouses and the larger-than-life glamour of concert halls—emerging with a dense work of gripping emotions, massive hooks, and masterfully constructed power-pop anthems. This is the record the Philadelphian rock and roll four-piece has always been destined to make.

Playing Favorites expands with a sense of undeniable vitality, buoyed by rock and roll’s singular capacity to channel a relentless compassion for human life. While at times marked by an intensified sense of melancholy, this newest offering takes stock of the confusing flow of daily life without moralizing, refusing to fall into antagonistic cynicism. Sheer Mag leans into the chaotic thrall of city living, of a life subdivided by the jagged highs and lows of bars, parties, and nightlife culture, with sweetly empathetic remove. The chemically-saturated swing of disco rhythms, crooning earnestness of heartland Americana, and boisterous theatrics of capital-G-and-M Guitar Music become strangely familiar bedfellows. This music is complex, not complicated. As lead guitarist Kyle Seely puts it, “I don’t believe people should put on a record and have to work to enjoy it.” Sheer Mag neither pander towards the studied pretensions of the rock historian elite nor dilute their approach into something more blankly palatable to a commercial audience. Instead, they have their eyes set on that ever elusive third option: those who just get it. If you build it, they will come.

Printed inside his yearbook directly below his senior portrait are Kyle Harvey's parting words to the class of 2011 at Ventura High School in California: "See You When I am Famous!!!!!!!!!!!!" And his foresight could not have been clearer.

Acting Like Black Sabbath was formed in Nelson BC, Canada in 2022 by four guys who absolutely worship Black Sabbath. But not just four guys, four guys who’ve been around the block a few times. Guitarist Mike Hodsall is a member of the legendary Vancouver punk band, DOA and has played in over 30 countries around the globe. Graham Tracey, vocals, was once a touring vocalist with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, selling out arenas all over the US. Drummer, Roger Swan, is a Juno (Canadian version of a Grammy eh) award winning producer who has worked with Devin Townsend and Kaos. Bassist JC Van Bruegel has done his time touring with the Pink Flamingos. 

These four guys may not look like Black Sabbath but you’ll have a hard time finding a more accurate representation than Acting Like Black Sabbath, delivered with a true conviction and love for one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.

Ty Segall follows 2022’s acoustic introspection opus “Hello, Hi” with a deeper, wilder journey to the center of the self. With Three Bells, he’s created a set of his most ambitious, elastic songs, using his musical vocabulary with ever-increasing sophistication. It’s an obsessive quest for an expression that answers back to the riptide always pulling him subconsciously into the depths. Questions we all ask in our own private mirrors are faced down here—and regardless of what the mysterious “Three Bells” mean in the context of the album’s libretto, you can be assured that Ty’s ringing them for himself, and for the rest of us in turn.

It’s a growing up and out of your head parable, but the farther out you get, the farther in you go. The two-head-ed suggestion of 2012’s Twins has grown ever more complex, as the outside/inside world of perception dissolves into a greater world of the senses—all six or seven of them! Since Ty deals in sounds, Three Bells rings with them most of all: sounds signaling the next phase, ringing to keep you stuck, or to set you free, with guitars like voices, questioning and answering the others in their turn.

Since 2008, the singer/guitarist/puzzled panther we call Ty Segall has played out his hunger to be free over a dozen solo LPs and a series of other-named projects. In his music, freedom has taken the form of a rippling eclecticism in songs and production sounds, all of them conversing from album to album in a mad diversity of voices. Across the discograverse, 2014’s Manipulator and 2018’s Freedom’s Goblin precede Three Bells in double-album epicity, each unfurling its own multivarious tapestry in an atmosphere of gleeful octophenia, as Ty throws everything against the wall, delighting in how much he can stick there. With all fifteen songs brimming with perspectives, shape-shifting incessantly, not even waiting for a new song to work into the next idea, Three Bells steps into the shoes of both his previous doubles at the same time, designing finally to do the extended format justice.

The acoustic songs of “Hello, Hi” had been a blast of fresh air; wanting another hit of that sweet air, Ty recognized that his body was craving to play the drums. This was a key that let him into the album—the songwriting happening on both guitar and drums. As the songs emerged, Ty pushed them out farther and farther compositionally, challenging the way they’d be played, then playing much of Three Bells in conversation with himself—a decision that further elevates the album’s conception.
