Oshima Brothers: ‘Dark Nights Golden Days’

Portland folk-pop duo Oshima Brothers are not only sensational musicians but also astounding filmmakers. Both converge on Friday night in Portland as Sean and Jamie screen their first film “Dark Nights Golden Days,” the visual companion to an album of the same name released earlier this year. The film tells their story of being artists and siblings and the footage includes rivers, coasts, mountaintops, horizon lines, wildflowers and wilderness while also incorporating green screen action scenes centered around 3D animated spaces. The siblings will share tales about making the film and will answer audience questions. They’ll also play a few songs live.

Things ain’t what they used to be, but you can still enjoy the music of the late Marvin Gaye as performed by 16 top-notch local musicians. We heard it through the grapevine that the likes of Dawson Hill, Tom Douglas, Rodney Mashia, Marc Kaplan, Sam Whitman, Neon Gypsy and Svanna Australia Clariot are among those who will be singing and playing their hearts out while raising funds for Sweetser’s Overdose Prevention Service and Go Big For Hunger. Be sure to not miss the opening set of modern soul tunes by Angelikah Fahray. That’s what’s going on!

Glen Rock, New Jersey, rock band Titus Andronicus got its name from a Shakespeare play and just released “The Will to Live,” its seventh studio album.
