Free Tunes from OWSLA!

Who doesn't like free music? Crazy people, that's who. And, though you all may have a touch of the "cray", we still think you're all with it enough to appreciate some free music from a great label, such as OWSLA. So, friends, go get your download on!

Spring Fever

We've just received four inches of snow in the Portland area in the middle of March, yet all we can think about is a return of the sun. Ever try handing out flyers outside of an event in the rain? It's a way of life for the Cubers in the winter months. But with an eye on the changing of the seasons, here's something cool that'll keep those eyes looking hip when the time comes. I'm just wishing we could get these suckers with prescription lenses (one of us has already emailed the company to check, with a disappointing "no"). Did we mention that they're local?

Local radio rocks!

Portland has a new community radio station, KZME, broadcasting on 107.1fm, featuring all local music! What does this mean for you? Well, we'll tell you! One of Red Cube's own DJs, Evan Alexander, is now hosting a weekly broadcast, Saturdays from 8-10pm, featuring guest DJs from Portland and the surrounding areas! We hope you'll join us in finally hearing some great electronic tunes on the airwaves! You can also tune in directly on the website:

As of yesterday, it's been 15 years since Biggie Smalls passed

We remember an artist that revolutionized hip hop, left his mark on the entire scene, and forever changed things in the short amount of time he was on this planet.

Sometimes a symbol of support is just beautiful

We at Red Cube appreciate the beauty of people joining together and find this to be pretty awesome:

For the Korean National Red Cross, about 3,000 Baekseok University students gathered at a ski resort to create an enormous drop of blood to celebrate the Wold Blood Donor Day.

Naughty or Nice w/ Morgan Page and Not-So-Nice Lines

Dear Fans,

Red Cube & Ground Breaking Events (G.B.E.) would like to sincerely apologize to those of you who had to wait in line for so many hours this past Saturday, and to those who were unable to get in to the event.

The event was not over-sold. At about 11:30 p.m., prior to Morgan Page's set, the main room had filled to over-capacity, while space was still available in other areas of the venue, such as the 2nd room. Due to this scenario, and to protect the safety of the attendees, the security team made the decision to not allow entry for a time. Despite our attempts to argue this decision, they were pretty firm. It was very frustrating for all of us involved, but we also ultimately must consider the safety of our patrons. There were 300 tickets that were allotted to be available at the door, but we were only able to sell about 100 of these due to the circumstances. Fifty more ticket-holders were allowed entry, and a few more cash buyers. Later in the night, we were eventually able to allow those who remained at the door entry into the event.

The refund process has already begun. For those of you who purchased tickets, but were not able to get into the event, please contact Flavor.US for your refund. We will review our will-call records, which indicate who did get entry, and will approve those refunds promptly.

We would also love the opportunity to make this up to those of you who were not able to gain access to the event with your advance tickets by offering free tickets to our New Year's Eve event and, if you are over 21 years of age, free access to our event featuring Dillon Francis this Thursday night at Whiskey Bar. If you purchased a physical ticket, are in possession of your ticket, and plan on attending our New Year's Eve event, you may present your ticket that has not been torn at the box office and you will be given 2 free entries per ticket.

We have understandably received many emails expressing your concerns over the weekend and these will be addressed starting today.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@redcubepdx.com.

Once again, we sincerely apologize and understand your frustrations. Please allow us the opportunity to make things right!


Sincerely,

Red Cube

Luck of the Dragon: 8 years of fun, music, passion, and love!

From the very beginning, back at that first Red Cube event in August of 2003, our main mission has remained consistent:

Red Cube strives to provide a positive, safe, and special gathering of energetic, creative, and expressive people that join together for the common love of music and the release of negativity and emotional toxins through the enjoyment of that music. Our events aim to be a momentary escape from the day-to-day world where shared smiles, dance, and the closeness of important people in your life combine to create unforgettable memories.

We wanted this video to not focus on the events themselves, but instead to act as a reminder of these goals and how we’ve worked to accomplish those in the 8 years that we have been organizing and promoting more than 200 events in the city that we so love. This video is a reflection of your success, of your love of music and the people around you. We feel that there is nothing ordinary about the events that we’ve poured our hearts into; they’re a shared experience between all of us of love, friendship, family, respect, and, of course, the music. The Red Cube family would like to share our great appreciation, love, and thanks to each of you for being with us these past 8 years. And we promise to continue working to bring you events that incorporate these ingredients of a great night.

Luck of the Dragon isn’t just another Red Cube event. It’s our birthday, our anniversary, the celebration of another year of continuing to meet the goals of our mission. We invite you to join us, to dance with us, to sweat with us, to raise your hands with us, to make some noise with us, and to make more of those unforgettable memories with us on this, one of the most special gatherings of the year.

And, to continue to show our appreciation for the most important element in any event we do, to show our appreciation for you, both advance and door tickets will be priced well below what the caliber of talent in this show merits.
