Oregon Zoo Summer Concerts series serves up
test of female icons
Free Rapid HIV Testing for guys into guys.
(5-8:30 p.m., Pivot, 209 SW 4th, pivotpdx.org)
The Oregon Zoo without its Summer Concerts series is like The
Jungle Book without Mowgli: lacking the bare necessities. We’ve come
to count on the seasonal creature comforts of lush outdoor environs,
adult beverages in a natural habitat and sounds that make us nostalgic
for Way Back When.
But this year’s lineup of retro-leaning acts has upped the bar, so to
speak. Witness the three-decade trifecta of females hitting the zoo in
August: k.d. lang, Hie Go-Go’s and Aimee Mann. That’s right. You
can revel to “Constant Craving,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” and “Voices
Carry” (“Save Me,” too) live and in person within a scant week’s span.
Since their Gen X apexes—Lang, for 1992’s breakthrough disc In
genue, and Mann, ‘Til Tuesday frontwoman-turned-Oscar nominee
for her soundtrack to the 1999 film Magnolia—both women have
continued to turn out critically acclaimed albums, earning loyal audi
ences with their folk-country songcraft and intimate performances,
regardless of venue.
As for quintessential ‘80s girl group The Go-Go’s, back on tour 30
years after the release of popsterpiece Beauty and the Beat, Belinda
Carlisle and crew keep the carefree days of their shimmery California
kitsch and bubble-gum punk alive.
After all, sometimes a vacation is, in fact, all you ever wanted. Go
on, then, escape to the zoo—if only for an evening or two.
