Fashion Club (LA) with Tenants and Shawna Pair
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Fashion Club (LA) the avant-pop project led by Pascal Stevenson, will deliver a night of bold soundscapes and raw emotion. Stevenson, previously the bassist of Moaning, takes a central role with a fresh approach to songwriting that’s deeply personal yet tinged with broader social commentary. With her new album, A Love You Cannot Shake, she blends 80s synth-driven influences with the brooding elegance of artists like Portishead. Expect ethereal vocals, dense synth layers, and beats that evoke themes of personal transformation, systemic pressures, and inner conflict.
Local favorites Tenants will support Fashion Club for this special show. Their newest album, Nighttime Sunshine, released in October 2024, showcases an eclectic mix of synth-pop, funk, and disco, alongside touches of psych-rock and rockabilly. Produced by Cameron Spies of Night Heron, the album reflects Tenants’ signature collaborative sound, making them the perfect addition to this dynamic lineup.
Shawna Pair is a Portland-based musician whose debut album, Activator, showcases a dynamic fusion of electropop, queer synth, glam rock, and psych-pop. Her music is characterized by visceral and vulnerable anthemic dance tracks, where New Wave meets New Jack Swing. An Alabama native with storytelling in her blood, Shawna's energetic performances and genre-blending sound have made her a distinctive presence in the Portland music scene.
