Last year, when Spencer Krug got the mighty Sunset Rubdown back together, their return to Portland was nothing short of a blowout. For many years, Krug harbored the belief that the band would simply never reunite at all, and he’d tell you that unprompted.

After finding that Okkervil River tickets had finally sold out I decided to trust a dear friend from the Big Apple on going to an unofficial after show featuring Grand Ole Party and Sunset Rubdown.
