The Portland based band Glitterfox has released five singles in just six months under their new record label Kill Rock Stars, with two more arriving this Spring. The band’s been growing steadily since “Drive” came out in August 2023, with their indie rock recipe that deftly balances Southern songwriting shine and nostalgia-fueled anthems. The four-piece band’s songwriters and front persons, married couple Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker, have always channeled their personal struggles as well as experiences as queer, neurodiverse individuals into their songwriting. Bassist Eric Stalker and drummer Blaine Heinonen bring a love of Americana, grunge, and dance music into the mix. All of these influences can be heard on the band’s latestsingles, produced by Chris Funk of The Decemberists, and in their spirited live shows as they prepare for their full-length album debut in 2025. Inquires: Chris Funk funk@portugaltheman.com $1 of every ticket sold will be donated to Black Thistle Street Aid. Black Thistle Street Aid is a integrative team of volunteer medical practitioners, herbalists & advocates providing access to free healthcare through direct outreach & pop-up clinics to people experiencing houselessness in the Eugene-Springfield, Oregon area.
