Felina’s Arrow Takes Aim
at Pride NW Main Stage
If it was easy to interpret the allure of Port­
land femme fatales Felina’s Arrow, it’d be dif­
ficult to justify the group’s main stage slot on
June 13 for Pride NW. As it stands, the duo’s
deftly layered influences aren’t worn on its col­
lective sleeve, but rather underneath a cloak of
musical shades, striking a chord of diversity for
an audience teeming with it.
Poeina Suddarth and Felicia Figueroa con­
nected in drizzly Seattle in 2002, sputtering
cross country in a VW van for four years. Ven­
ues ran the gamut from sidewalks to theaters
while they carved out the crux of their sound.
The bond still resonates today.
The band’s been stationed in Portland for
two years now, and has garnered a sizeable fol­
lowing for rollicking interpretations of song­
craft both melancholy and spry. They offer a
self-description of “glam, pain and harmony,”
and it’s very nearly true. Songs like “Phantom,”
from their 2006 album Let Me Tell You a Story,
navigate operatic melodies and heartbreaking
lyricism with minimalist guitar accompani­
ment, while “Pirate Song,” from a collection
of live recordings, dishes up a peppy, swash­
buckling, mariachi groove. Covering such a
spectrum of sound all but guarantees intrigue
for whoever might be listening.
As part of Pride NW’s main stage roster
on June 13, Felina’s Arrow will be sandwiched
in between a litany of great acts, including
Sophie Lux, Katie Sawicki, The Big Package
and headliners Uh Huh Her. The band takes
the stage at 6:30 p.m. Check out the complete
schedule of Pride NW live entertainment at
pridenw.org.
The Pride festival at Tom McCall Waterfront
Park (1020 SWNaito) runs noon-10p.m. Sat­

“A Pinker Shade of Ga/'
to Bring the Noise
With so many Pride celebrations, dance
nights, live music offerings, art shows and
fashion galas, there’s no way of determining
which will emerge as the crème de la crème
from this year’s batch of entertainment. That
said, “A Pinker Shade of Gay,” hosted June 6 at
Backspace (115 NW Fifth Ave.), will almost
certainly be the loudest.
Organizers have amassed an impressive
array of local and regional talent for the one-
night-only affair, billed as a Pride month kick-
