Electric Intimacy at Dante's Underground Stage

Sun Blood Stories performs under dramatic stage lighting during Rx Fest at Dante's in downtown Portland.

A bearded musician in a black t-shirt commands the intimate stage at Dante's in downtown Portland, his electric guitar caught mid-chord under saturated purple and green stage lighting. The atmospheric wash of color transforms the underground venue into a moody sanctuary where Sun Blood Stories weaves their sonic narrative. Cable-strewn floors and shadowed equipment create texture in the foreground while the performer's concentrated expression speaks to the focused intensity of this experimental band's mesmerizing live sound. Originally from Boise, Idaho and now Portland-based, the group channels their operatic approach to music through every chord.
