Portugal. The Man

With the release of their most recent album, The Satanic Satanist, experimental rock band Portugal. The Man has been busy on the road, appearing at festivals and small venues across the country. The momentum that the band has recently struck upon, has led Portugal. The Man to announce a new round of tour dates. The group’s headlining fall tour will carry through the end of summer tour, concluding October 22.

For Portugal. The Man’s fourth release in four years, The Satanic Satanist, the band returned to their classic form and created an album that’s both deep in instrument arrangements and lyrical craftsmanship. The relentless touring schedule that the group has been on, since the album’s release, is testament to how solid of an album the four-piece created while recording in Boston.
