Details:
Born out of Portland, Oregon''s burgeoning indie pop scene, The Retrofits marry the instrumentation of a jazz ensemble with the catchy melodies and arrangements of a mainstream rock band.
The band was created in 2002 by high school friends and trackmates Jake Oken-Berg (lead vocals, piano) and George McCleary (lead vocals, guitar). Jake ran for Mayor of Portland at age 19, receiving 27% of the vote, and George was one of the nation''s top high school runners. The Retrofits started off playing for community benefits such for youth voting, mental health treatment and environmental protection, and the band is still donating its time, money and music to civic endeavors.
Now one of Portland''s most popular pop/rock bands, SPIN Magazine lists The Retrofits as one of "The best times you’ll have all month."
The Retrofits opened for national acts Everclear and Pink Martini within their first year of performing, and has added experienced musicians Brud Giles (drums) and Dusty Brooks (bass, vocals) to fill out a sound grounded in jazz piano, acoustic guitar, soulful harmonies, and vivid lyrics.
The Retrofits are "simply, a band worth catching" (The Oregonian).
