Sabertooth Portland 2024 – Night One

Sabertooth Portland 2024 – Night One

The 2024 edition of Sabertooth saw a movement back to more psychedelic offerings (and less metal like last year). Night two certainly had a more metal flavor than Friday night. One thing that remained the same from 2023 was the high percentage of bands that were either all female or had at least one female member.

First up was Fluid Druid, a band I was not familiar with. I should have done more to get to know them beforehand. They were not bad, and I can see myself possibly getting into them at some point.

Death Valley Girls were next, and I really enjoyed their performance. Alana Asha Amram filled in on bass, which was a bit odd given that their former bassist was also in the building.

Black Mountain (from Canada--not the black metal band from Australia) was the most metal band of the evening. I wasn’t familiar with them before the Sabertooth band announcement came out but have been listening to them regularly for the past few months. Their recorded material is great and they didn’t disappoint live.

Friday night’s headliner was Frankie and the Witch Fingers. This was another band that I was unfamiliar with until recently. Influenced by Osees and King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard, FATWF was lots of fun.

After the music of night one was over, I got to chatting with the couple sitting next to me. Turns out they are FATWF's drummer's parents so here is one of Nick Aguilar for them.
