The Tour of California happened earlier this year and so did a a little Tour of California of our own. Heading to Los Angeles is one of our favorite things to do to, and then when you throw in some rad new folks and Transmissions takes it to a whole new level. Saint Motel is a band on the rise, and every time they play in Portland, their drummer Greg Erwin stops by The Athletic to say hi, and get some new socks. Well, he stopped by one time a couple months ago and when we couldn’t convince him to immediately be on the show (they had a sold out gig at the Moda Center) so we decided to go to him.
