You all should head out to Mississippi Pizza on Saturday night.
Check out Level 2, an all original music band that are really a "cut above".
Their melodies will stick in your head and you'll find yourself humming them to yourself, on the way home!
No angst here, only memorable tunes with positive lyrics.
They have quickly become one of my favorite Portland bands!
