Check out this interview with Rad City in the Willamette Week!
One of Portland’s most exciting new local bands, Radiation City, is about to get a gentle push closer to some well-deserved recognition this coming fall. The entrancing pop outfit has signed with Tender Loving Empire, and will be re-releasing their debut full-length The Hands That Take You on the label in September. For the savvy music nerds here in the city, you like already have a copy of the album sitting among your cassette collection (the band has already released it via Apes Tapes) and have already fallen in love with their dreamy combination of bossa nova, soul and pop from the ’60s and modern electronics. We’re so in love with it, in fact, that we had to know more about it. So, I cornered three members of the band – Cameron Spies (guitar/vocals), Lizzy Ellison (vocals/keyboards) and Matt Rafferty (bass) – at East End for a slightly tipsy conversation soundtracked by fellow Apes Tapes band Rico All The Time who were performing in the other room.
