PNWC PRESENTS: New Year, New Synth- ODDitee, The Alphabet Zero, Moon Talk & Underwater Nightclub Live at Shanghai Tunnel Bar, PDX, Jan 16th, 2026! We are starting off the year strong with some familiar local synth names that will kick off the new year with a nostalgic bang. @odditee_ having recently played in Seattle with the likes of US3R and Dream Commander, ODDitee is no longer wet behind the ears and keeping up with the vets in the scene. Releasing under the legendary Rosso Corsa Records and having a small guest appearance at Neotropolis 25'-the future looks bright for the masked man. @thealphabetzero a Popwave/Electronic Ambient Synth project from across the bridge in Vancouver, WA, "TAZ" had a brief stint in Nashville before returning to the PNW area. Writing soundtracks for film and tinkering with sounds-an underrated beacon amongst the PNWC members. @moon__talk a mainstay amongst the PNWC, opening for the likes of Watch Out For Snakes and Daniel Quasar, while also being one of the resident DJs for the monthly SynthCadia Nights. Moon Talk unique blend of vintage synths, video game motifs and modern production culminate in a dreamy, pop centered synth sound that will harkon back to better times. @underwaternightclub Dark Synthpop/Electronic Rock duo from the PDX/Vancouver area, combining echoing guitars and haunting vocals to create a mystifying and alluring sound bound to keep your ears at attention. We cant wait for you to join us soon in 2026! @odditee_ @thealphabetzero @moon__talk @underwaternightclub @shanghaitunnelbar Poster design @danielquasar Tickets here and in bio: /e/pnwc-presents-new-year-new-synth-at-shanghai-tunnel-bar-tickets-1978648360510?aff=oddtdtcreator #synthwave, #synthmusic, #livemusicpdx #liveeventspdx #synthpop

PNWC PRESENTS: SynthCadia 3: Alex Lightspeed & The Most Excellent Band- "Lost Future" Album Release Party SynthCadia has another special night of Synthwave and Retro flare-this time with a Cyber-Futuristic theme! Another @rosso.corsa.records alumni: @alex_lightspeed will be releasing his sophmore full length album on Rosso Corsa Records, April 23rd, 2025. A dark, dystopian romance, Cyber-Punk themed album that captures the high octane cybernetic action and often times the hauntingly beautiful stillness of a dystopian future. Lightspeed has been a well established figure in the local EDM scene and has reached a far reaching audience through his Synth endeavours. Now part of our local Collective, Alex knowledge, experience and resources have been a HUGE boon to making sure our community will continue to thrive. Join us in celebrating the eventual release and get a sneak peak of the album AND a SPECIAL LIVE PERFORMANCE of Alex and his Most Excellent Band at @vicebeer ! Our resident djs @moon__talk & @velocity128 will be holding down the night once again with a heavier, darker playlist. We look forward to seeing you don your Leather Jackets, Polished Chrome Sports Bikes and Cybernetic Augments tearing up the dancefloor, while drinking some award winning beer at Vice Beer. Hang out with other members of the PNWC and see how you can be more involved! Merchandice from both the djs and Alex Lightspeed will also be available for purchase at the event, feel free to support them. Cheers to the future! Poster design by @danielquasar -PNWC
