Think Out Loud

Portland-based band The Slants is retiring after 13 years of making music together. The band made national headlines in 2017 after the Supreme Court ruled that The Slants could trademark their name. Founder Simon Tam says he'll focus now on writing and activism. The Slants’ last show will be November 4 at the Doug Fir in Portland. Simon Tam will be talking about his memoir “Slanted” at Powell’s City of Books November 3.
