The Emergence of Portable Shrines
Spearheaded by Darlene Nordyke and Aubrey Nehring, the Portable Shrines collective became a focal point and catalyst for the city’s psych-rock scene in 2009, booking several of the year’s most audacious bills and inaugurating the Escalator festival in September, a two-night extravaganza that has potential to rival the long-running Terrastock. With their keen eyes for poster design and highly attuned ears for the peak-time, mind-expanding sounds of both local and national acts, this promotion company raises hopes that Seattle’s headiest heads will receive the audio-visual massaging they’ve been craving for years.
