Portugal. The Man
I wrote about the curiously circuitous journey Portugal. The Man took to get to the top of the Billboard charts.
Portland’s Portugal The Man is finally big enough to be called a sellout.
For The Oregonian/OregonLive
Portland's Portugal The Man knew what fans might think of their new album, "Woodstock," and they prepared accordingly.
Earlier this year, the band released T-shirts that read: "I Liked Portugal The Man Before They Sold Out." The band is obviously being self-deprecating, but a sliver of its fan base has been bemoaning this very thing. The band's single "Feel It Still" is No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Alternative Songs chart, is the soundtrack for Apple's new iPad Pro commercial, and will most likely be one of the first songs played on Pandora's "Hipster Cocktail Party" playlist.
